In My Desperate Time

Chapter 168 He is Drawing My Attention

"Frances and new popular star Elin Smith spent a day and a night at the hotel."

When I see the news, my eyes become a little wet.

Suddenly I understand what Frances meant that day.

Men are always playing with women in bed. For them, it’s the same as having sex with any woman. He can have sex with me, and of course, he can have sex with other women.

I feel a little bitter in my heart. I know I’m jealous.

I’m just one of his lovers, not his wife.

Not long after the news comes out, Whitney calls me.

"Jane, have you seen the news?"

"Yes." I reply.

"Don’t worry, Elin Smith is not his lover."

Whitney’s decisiveness makes me a little surprised.

She is always suspicious. Any trace will be detected by her. Now that the news has come out, why is she so calm?

"Why?"

I ask suspiciously.

"Elin Smith is his half-sister and his father’s illegitimate daughter. He is very clear about this thing. Although he did not tell me, I have already investigated their relationship. It will not be wrong."

Whitney’s explanation makes me feel a little more comfortable.

It turns out that I misunderstand the relationship between them. I shouldn’t be jealous of her.

"Well, I see."

Whitney is silent for two seconds and then says to me, "Jane, I think Frances’s affairs with those women are false. It’s easy for Frances to hide these things. I think, last time, he let me know about Cindy on purpose. Even if I picked on Cindy, he didn’t give some special reactions. So, actually, he doesn’t care about Cindy at all."

He doesn’t care about Cindy at all?

He generously gave Cindy a necklace worth four million yuan. Does he really not care about her? I don’t believe it.

"Why does he do it? There is no need for him to…" I say to Whitney.

"He may be drawing my attention. Sometimes, men also lack the sense of security. Although his behavior is a little laughable, it is also a little cute. He wants to divorce me because he misunderstands that I have an affair with another man. He’s just jealous. That’s his character."

They are perfect for each other and they love each other. But, I’m just a funny mistress whom nobody cares about.

"His jealousy shows that he cares about you. Since you know that Elin Smith is his sister, don’t pick on her, or he may be angry with you," I say bitterly, feeling so ridiculous of myself.

I’m his mistress, but now I have to pretend to be a considerate friend to comfort Whitney.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"I know, but..." Whitney has a pause, and then goes on, "Maybe, he is using these women to cover for another woman whom he really loves."

I’m shocked. I feel that Whitney may have found something.

But I know that Frances doesn’t love me. The reason he does it may just be to get Whitney’s attention.

"I don’t think so. Frances loves you. Well, I have something else to do. I’ll hang up now."

I hang up the phone in a hurry, and I feel more upset.
