In My Desperate Time
Chapter 471: Would You Like to Be with Me

I step forward, pat him on the shoulder and ask him in a low voice, "Who are you talking to?"

Master Lee turns to look at me with panic. He probably doesn't expect to meet me at this time. After a while, he smiles embarrassedly and says to me, "Nobody, just a friend."

As he speaks, he quietly hangs up the phone.

Liar!

Knowing that he isn't going to tell me the truth, I reach out, trying to take over his phone.

He is panicked. Suddenly, he grits his teeth and throws the phone into the river.

The phone falls into the water. I look at Master Lee and can't help but frown.

Who on earth is that person he has talked to? Why is he so panicked?

If it is Whitney, he won't have to do this, because I've already known about the situation.

What exactly is going on?

Just as I'm thinking, Master Lee has already fled with his suitcase.

"Ms. Noyes, please don't force me," He says loudly as he runs.

"I'm not gonna tell you anyway. And I've already told you that it was Whitney who had told me to do that. Just leave me alone."

Whitney?

How can he not even remember Whitney's name?

I'm even more curious.

But he runs so fast that I can't catch up with him at all. After running for a while, the distance between us becomes larger and larger. I can only walk back resentfully.

Mom happens to get a cab for me. So I take Earl and wave bye-bye at them before heading to Virginia.

I get a strange call on the car.

I didn't save the phone number, but it looks familiar.

I pick up the phone, and Noah's voice comes from it.

I've deleted his number long ago, so I don't recognize it at once.

"I've been thinking about it for a few days and I think that I should give you one more chance to make a choice as well as to give us another chance before I take the next step." What?

What chance?

I don't understand what Noah means at all.

"What do you want to do?"

I speak impatiently.

The dream I did in his car last time is still troubling me so much that I don't even want to get close to him.

"What do I want? I want to be with you. Jane, let me ask you again, would you like to be with me?"

Is he crazy?

I smile helplessly and say to him, "Noah, how come you become such a scumbag! You have a fiancée and she just miscarried because of you. How can you do this to her? We will never ever get back together anymore. Why can't you cherish the people around you?" Although Steven likes me, he has never given me so much pressure.

As for Noah, he has made me feel more and more uncomfortable.

"You mean you don't want to be with me anymore?"

"Yes, and I've never wanted to be with you!" I say coldly.

"Good. Very good. You will regret it."

Then he hangs up angrily.

I put the phone down somewhat dejectedly and feel sorry for Noah.

He used to be a man of integrity and warmth.

But he has become unkind and inhumane that he doesn't even care about his own fiancée who has just lost their baby and he is still thinking about those nonsense.

A minute later, the phone vibrates.

It is a picture text sent from Noah.

I'm startled at the sight of it.0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
