In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 156

“Don’t interfere with any of my business from now on, otherwise there will be consequences. You better have your stuff sent back.”

Whitney’s face turns dreadfully pale after hearing Frances’s cruel words.

“Frances, how can you do this to me? I’m your wife, we’re supposed to live together!” Whitney is literally begging him.

She loses all her arrogance and dignity when facing Frances. I know clearly, it’s because she loves him. Only when you love someone so deep that you will willingly throw all your dignity away.

“Whitney Jordan, you know exactly why we get married. If you don’t leave right now, I’ll call Mr. Jordan.”

In the end, Whitney leaves unwillingly.

I stand where I am, witnessing everything.

Today I finally get an idea how detached he is.

He treats his own wife like this, if one day we break up, he’s gonna treat me worse.

Their relationship confuses me, because I just heard that they had already separated for two years. Couples automatically divorce after they have lived apart for two years. I know because I divorced Andrew.

But when I look at Frances and Whitney, I don’t see any incompatibility.

Confused as I am, I won’t try to find answers.

Steven doesn’t let go of my shoulder until Whitney leaves. He says to me, “Can you be more careful, I don’t wanna be the one who always clean up the mess for you. One second later, things will turn ugly.”

“Why are you here?” I ask him.

“Well, Whitney texted me early, telling me she was coming for Frances. I called both of you, but no one answered. So, here I am.”

I check my phone and the missed call shows up on the screen.

None of us took the phone to the restaurant, that was how the drama started.

“What do you want from her?” I ask casually.
