Chapter 2142
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 2141 Decision âThereâs only one Danrique Lindberg in this world,â Danrique questioned, âWhen I was at rock bottom, I bowed to no one. I did not resort to lying, betraying, or exploiting anyoneâ¦â
âFair enough.â Sean gave the matter a thought, and he grew solemn. âIâm afraid Prince William is not the same. He knows he cannot turn the tides all by himself, so heâs trying all he can to get near Ms. Felch, hoping that he can butter up with you in this way to achieve his goals.â
âWhich is why heâs beyond saving.â Danrique narrowed his eyes and concluded. âWhat about Ms. Felch?â
âSheâs my woman. She should put herself in my shoes and think from my point of view.â Chagrin swamped Danrique. âSheâs being unreasonable when she asked me to save William. There are many things that I would happily oblige if she wanted, but not this. This is unjust and wrong.â
âButâ¦â
âThatâs enough.â Danrique shut down the opinions of the others as soon as he made up his mind. âIf she truly loves me, she should know I have my reasons. If she left me because I didnât save William, it means that her love for me does not come from the bottom of her heart. I donât need that kind of love!â
Those words coming from him were steely, yet he could still feel his heart skip a beat when the words rolled off his tongue.
In fact, he had never thought of breaking up with Francesca, but fury consumed him whenever he thought of Francescaâs determination to save William.
On the other hand, Sean dared not speak anymore upon seeing Danrique determined attitude. Hence, he tentatively suggested, âMr. Lindberg, I think you should communicate with Ms. Felch properly to avoid any misunderstanding.â
âOkay.â Danrique hummed. âHer orphanage is looking for a foundation, right? I want you to gather some information regarding that.â
âYes, sir. It will be on your table by tomorrow.â
Danrique gave the matter some thought. Francesca cared deeply for the orphanage. If I got rid of the problem faced by the orphanage, she wouldnât get angry at me for not helping William, would she?â
Though he had never liked noisy chattering kids and hypocritic charitable acts, he would still do it because of her.
I hope she understand my reasons.
âMr. Lindberg, are you not going to rest?â Sean filled up Danriqueâs cup with more tea.
âSheâs still angry, so Iâll wait until she calms herself down. I donât need another fight with her.â Danrique continued going through the files.
âOkay.â Sean noticed the changes in Danrique almost immediately. After all, from his point of view, Danrique was no longer the prideful and indifferent man he used to be. He learned how to take the initiative to communicate and put himself in othersâ shoes. In fact, he had changed a lot.
Unfortunately, Francesca was unaware of all that.
She was back in the room, angry and frustrated.
That piece of sh*t! How dare he accuse me of marrying him and having s*x with him for Williamâs sake! He jumped at me like a beast. I didnât resist and gave him all of me because I love him. How could he think of me in such a filthy way? Da*n it! Why is he not trying to save those people? Didnât he say he wouldnât be in any loss even if he saved William? Thatâs eighty over lives weâre talking about! Are they nothing at all to him?
Needless to say, Francesca was perplexed.
At that moment, her phone started vibrating. She quickly found her phone on the couch and answered the call, âMonica.â
âIâm sorry, Ms. Felch. I hope Iâm not disturbing you.â
âThatâs all right. Itâs just me alone in the room right now.â
âI wanted to visit, but they said I shouldnât be bothering you, especially when Iâm still injured, soâ¦â
Though Monicaâs way of conveying her message was rather implicit, she was trying to tell Francesca that the Lindberg family didnât want her to meet Francesca.
âYou should rest well, and not run around as you please.â Francesca was not bothered by the message. âWhat about your injuries? Is the doctor good?â
âIâm fine. Iâm just worried about His Highness.â
