Chapter 2060
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 2060 Letter You donât have to worry about us, and please donât come looking for us. Itâs just the two of us now, so we shouldnât be having any problem protecting ourselves. In fact, it is you that Iâm worried about. Now that you need to take care of the orphanage, you must learn how to become even more independent and stronger.
As for the foundations, you can cast this matter aside and ignore it first. Lincoln has already transferred his lifetime savings into Lovely Careâs account. With the addition of your money back then, you should be able to keep the orphanage operating for some time. Frannie, youâre a grown-up now, which means it is time for you to become truly independent.
I believe that even without us, youâd be able to take good care of the orphanage and yourself. As for the weapon and drugs, you must keep on crafting them and use them wisely as you need them to defend yourself. You must also practice your skills and techniques daily to keep yourself in your best form, or you will not be able to protect yourself if thereâs any danger.
Anthony, you cheeky rascal, I know youâre reading this letter too. Remember, as the elder brother, make sure that you take good care of Frannie, the orphanage, and yourself when weâre gone. Do you understand? All right. I got to go. Lincoln is urging me already. He always says that Iâm long-winded, and here I thought I could keep my cool and unique traits by staying single. Iâve never thought I would become such a naggy old lady before you guys. Hehehe.
Please donât be sad. Just look at it as if weâre on a trip. If weâre lucky, weâll see each other in no time!
The ending of the letter read: Love you always, Ms. Layla.
At the end of the letter, Layla even drew a smiley with some punctuation. She had imprinted her optimism onto that piece of paper and, most importantly, on Frannieâs heart.
Tears started rolling down Francescaâs cheeks as she read the letter. However, instead of sobbing, Francesca smiled. âWhatâs wrong with Ms. Layla? Acting so emotional all of a sudden. If sheâs just on a trip, sheâd be back in no time!â
âBut Iâm very worried about them.â
Unlike Francesca, who remained strong at heart, Anthony was visibly shaken. âThey had the guts to charge into the gangsterâs headquarters and wiped them out with only a couple of guns in hand. To think that they are forced to go on the run quietly, itâs obvious that the situation is very dangerous.â
Francesca, however, did not say anything. Instead, she quietly locked the armory and kept Laylaâs letter carefully.
âFrancesca, do you think we should go and look for them? They are no longer in their best form because of their age. Iâm afraid that somethingâ¦â Anthony asked in a worried manner.
âAnd Iâm not worried at all? But what can we do even if we manage to find them? Weâll only become a burden to them,â Francesca pretended to be sheer-willed as she continued, âBesides, what about the orphanage and the kids?
What will we do about them if weâre gone as well?â
âUmmmâ¦â Anthony found himself lost for words.
âMs. Layla left us this letter and confessed what happened so I wonât be reckless when making decisions.â
What Francesca said made sense, but she said it in a sobbing voice.
Anthony, too, knew that Francesca was worried for Layla and Lincoln, but with the orphanage being her responsibility, there was no way she could push it aside. Thus, the only thing she could do was be responsible for the orphanage and move on.
Perhaps, Laylaâs decision to confess the truth was precisely that.
But again, if Layla did not tell them honestly, Francesca would be worried, which would cause her to try her best to unveil the truth, and that would be risky.
âAll right. Cheer up, and letâs get to work.â Francesca took in a deep breath before cheering herself and Anthony up. âNow that Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln are gone, youâll have to manage the orphanage on your own, so youâd better get going.â
âBut Ms. Layla wanted me to go to Williamâs with you.â Anthony clearly remembered his duty.
âI wonât be at Williamâs place for too long because Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln are not here. Iâm also worried that the orphanage would become a target of Chrono and his men.â Francesca frowned.
âSo, do you want to come to the orphanage with me?â Anthony hurriedly asked.
âNo. I canât show my face around the orphanage. At least not for now, or theyâd be bold enough to make a move there, or itâd endanger the kids.â Francesca put up a serious expression as she said, âIâll be making more weapons and poison in these few days. The orphanage will be counting on you for now.â
âGot it.â Anthony nodded. âThen, Iâll go and get you when you leave Williamâs place. It is an order from Ms. Layla.â
