Chapter 2062
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 2061 Did Not Love Her As Much Nothing major happened in the next few days. Francesca would start her training routine, refine poison, and make weapons in the morning, and she would go over to Williamâs at about three or four in the afternoon.
In the past, she would stay back to enjoy tea and discuss medicine after treating William, but now she would always come and go in haste.
Whenever William asked if something had happened in her family, Francesca would always say there were urgent matters to attend to in the orphanage.
William would not ask further, but he would always be overwhelmed with mixed reactions when Anthony picked her up at the courtyard.
âAnthony is such a nuisance. Ms. Felch always leaves in a hurry whenever she receives his call in the evening. She didnât even have time to enjoy a cup of tea.â Robin could tell what was on Williamâs mind.
âAnthony and Francesca are childhood friends, and theyâre like siblings. Anthony is just worried about her,â William said calmly.
âSiblings? The bodyguards in the Nacht residence told me he was Dr. Felchâs ex-boyfriend, though.â Robin was a little confused.
âI guess Francesca used Anthony as an excuse to reject Danrique.â William grinned. âSheâs not into Anthony for sure.â
âI guess so.â Robin agreed. âThereâs nothing extraordinary about Anthony. Heâs definitely no match for you, Your Highness. Iâm sure Ms. Felch wouldnât fall in love with someone like him.â
William hummed in agreement. It was unusual for him to agree with Robinâs thoughts. He then added, âHumans are attracted to power and prestige by nature. Thereâs no exception!â
âYes. Besides Danrique, no one else is on par with you, Your Highness,â Robin said with a sigh.
âSpeaking of Danrique, he seems to be laying low these days.â William raised his suspicion. âWhy hasnât he gotten in touch with Francesca? He didnât even come to look for her. What is he busy with?â
âHas he given up on her?â Robin took a wild guess. âAn arrogant man like him will not give in to love easily.â
âI donât think heâll give up so easily,â William deduced. âNo doubt an arrogant man will not fall in love easily, but once he does, heâll not concede defeat.â
âWhy didnât he come and look for Ms. Felch then?â Robin could not work out the logic. âShe has been back to S Nation for nearly twenty days, yet heâs still nowhere to be seen. If you were in his shoes, Iâm sure you would have come after Ms. Felch in no time.â
âThatâs because I donât have other things to do.â William chuckled. âDanrique had just dealt with Frank, so he definitely has a million things to settle. At this critical moment, I suppose his business and career would be his priority.â
âWell, I guess heâs not that into Ms. Felch,â Robin opined.
William hummed in agreement. âI wouldnât have done this to Francesca if I were him.â
âHeâs not that into you. I wouldnât have done this to you if I were him,â Anthony also uttered the exact words while driving.
Anthony made that remark because Sloan came to bid Francesca farewell as he would be returning to Xendale.
After wishing Sloan a safe flight, Francesca left in Anthonyâs car.
Anthony felt Danriqueâs approach was insincere. He was the one who upset Francesca, yet he refused to come and apologize to her personally. To make things worse, the subordinate he sent to talk to Francesca had to return to the country in a hurry just because he needed him. What does Danrique take Francesca for?
That was why Anthony expressed his frustration.
On the other hand, Francesca looked calm. She said, âIâll just pretend nothing had happened. I didnât lose anything anyway.â
âYou didnât lose anything?â Anthony read between the lines. âDoes that mean you two have notâ¦â
âOf course not.â Francesca glared at him.
âOh, okay. Thatâs good to know.â Anthony was pleased to hear that.
Francesca kept mum and looked outside the window. Though she looked calm, deep in her heart, she was overwhelmed with complicated emotions. The fact that Danrique summoned Sloan back to the country means heâs giving up on me. I guess heâs just not that into me.
