In My Desperate Time

Does he mean the thing about letting me divorce Frances?
I really don't want to upset old Mr. Louis, but I really love Frances, how could I divorce him?
"Old Mr. Louis, can you stop making things difficult for me?"
I purse my lips and whisper.
Old Mr. Louis' gaze becomes stern all of a sudden.
"Are you trying to piss me off? I don't have much time left. My only wish now is that you can Frances and leave this place!"
Old Mr. Louis' words sadden me.
I really don't know what happened. Why does old Mr. Louis suddenly hate me so much?
But no matter what old Mr. Louis says, I will definitely not leave Frances. I am determined.
"If you really don't want to see me, I can do what Sabina did. I won't meet you as long as you are at home. But I won't leave no
matter what."
After saying those words, I carry Earl inside.
When I enter, I happen to see Hilda standing at the door.
She didn’t try to hide her smile.
She must have overheard the conversation I have with old Mr. Louis. So what? As long as Frances doesn't file for divorce, I
won't leave.
It doesn't matter even if I am said to pester him. I love Frances, and I won't give up so easily.
When I carry Earl upstairs, I think Frances is still sleeping, but I find him standing quietly by the bed, looking indifferent and
detached.
Does he hear what old Mr. Louis said to me just now?
"Frances."

I whisper.
He turns his head and looks at me with a frown.
"Why don't you tell me that Grandfather forces you to divorce me?"
Sure enough, he hears it.
Originally, I don't want him to be embarrassed, so I don't intend to tell him. But in the end, he still knows it.
"I don't know what to say."
I sigh and say worriedly.
Frances walks over and sits beside me.
"Doesn't Grandfather always like you? How come his attitude towards you has changed so much when you came back this
time?"
I glance at him and feel helpless, saying, "I wish I knew. Now that old Mr. Louis wants us to get divorced, I'm very worried."
Frances looks at me gently and whispers, "It's fine. You don't have to worry. I told you before that no matter what happens, you
just need to stand behind me. I will deal with everything, and this time, too. I will go talk to Grandfather and find out what is going
on."
Frances' words make me feel much more at ease.
Nodding at him, I simply put on my makeup and leave with Earl and Frances.
Since I say that I wouldn't let old Mr. Louis see me, it would be best if I don't eat breakfast at home.
Frances would take care of Old Master, but I promise Violet that I would handle Steven's thing. I have to think of a way.
After thinking for a whole day, I finally come up with a solution which not sounds that perfect.
Immediately after, I send a text message to Violet, telling her all of my plan.
Although, this is not a good approach.

But right now, there is no other way.
"Who are you sending messages to?"
Frances raises his head and asks me.
I guess he is looking at me through the monitor, but he couldn't see it clear. That's why he asks.
I don't want to hide anything from him, so I tell him everything. After all, I need his help with this plan.
He stares at me for a few seconds and finally gives me a simple comment of my plan, "As long as you're happy."
