In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 211

I want to call him, but I don’t know what I can say to him concerning our relationship. I need time to collect my thoughts.

He sees me too, surprised for two seconds, and then walks towards me.

“Jane, haven’t seen you for a long time.”

He smiles at me but looks very tired.

Actually it’s not a long time, because we saw each other just a few days ago.

“Are you looking for a job here?” I ask him.

Startled for a moment, he immediately shakes his head, “No. I’m recruiting for the school. The school needs new teachers, so I’m asked to post job information here.”

His pretense makes me feel sad.

Maybe he doesn’t want me to worry him or feel guilty so he lies to me. But I already know the truth.

“Your mother has told me that you lost your job.” saying in an upset voice, I look at him with guilt, “I’m sorry. If it’s not for me, you won’t be reduced to such a situation by Frances.”

“Lost my job?” Noah looks at me in surprise and shakes his head for denying, “I didn’t lose my job. Actually I quit on my own and intend to find a new job. Originally, I didn’t want to let you know it before I really become somebody, but I didn’t expect I would meet you here.”

He quit his job?

He’s not like telling a lie. So maybe I misunderstood Frances? He didn’t do anything to Noah, but it is my presumption that made me blamed him directly?

At this moment, I feel great pain in my heart.

I don’t know why, somehow I feel there is someone spying on me, but when I look around, I don’t find anyone suspicious.

Is it my delusion? Is it because pregnant women are more likely to be suspicious?

I stop the messy thoughts in my mind and manage a smile at Noah, “But you are doing well in your job as a teacher, why did you suddenly quit?”

“Because a nine-to-five job with stable salary won’t allow me to give you a bright future. Jane, if I have enough money and power, I must be able to take you away from Frances. So, you must wait for me, and I’ll work hard.”
