Chapter 2145
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 2144 Sweetness âStop!â Francesca inched backward and avoided him. âIâm about to crumble.â âFine. Iâll let it off easily this time.â
Danrique carried her down from the rack and patted her butt. âGo clean yourself up. Iâll wait for you.â
âOkay!â Francesca ran into the bathroom. Danrique watched her from the back. The corners of his lips quirked up at how cute Francesca was.
He loved their lives right now. They were spending time together, fooling around with each other happily. Though there would be heated arguments at times, most of the time was filled with pure happiness and sweetness.
I wish we could continue living blissfully and harmoniously every day forever, butâ¦
Strangely, Danrique felt a sense of uneasiness. Meanwhile, Francesca was brushing her teeth while her phone vibrated. She checked on it and hurriedly picked up the call when she realized it was a call from Anthony. âHello?â
âFrancesca, where are you?â
âXendale, why?â
âWith Danrique?â
âThatâs right.â
âGood.â Anthony heaved a sigh of relief.
âWhat happened?â Francesca asked.
âItâs about Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln. They would secretly get in touch with me every three days, but they stopped calling about a week ago this time. Iâm worried.â
âWhy didnât you tell me they would get in touch with you!â Francesca was furious. âWhen was the last time you talked to them?â
âBefore you flew to Danontand,â Anthony replied, âThey were still in H City back then, but I donât know where they are now after they cut off their communication with me.â
âGive me their contact. Iâll try.â
âWill that affect you in any way?â Anthony hesitated. âMs. Layla told me not to tell youâ¦â
âHurry up!â Francesca yelled.
âFine.â Anthony hurriedly sent the information to Francesca because he dared not anger her.
Upon receiving the information, Francesca instantly tried to get in touch with Ms. Layla, only to find that the call wouldnât go through and the satellite couldnât pinpoint their location.
Just as Francesca was panicking, Danrique, who was done changing his clothes, approached her. âWhatâs the matter?â
âWe lost contact with Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln. Iâm worried about them,â Francesca then told Danrique what she had learned from Anthony.
âDonât worry. Iâll get someone to look into it.â Danrique immediately sent the information about the two to Sean using Francescaâs phone.
âThey are the ones who kept me safe throughout the years, but thereâs nothing I could do when their enemies are hunting them down.â Guilt was eating her alive. âTheyâre fine, right?â
âThey should be.â Danrique was calm. âLetâs have breakfast. Maybe there will be news about them after breakfast.â
âOkay.â Knowing that Danriqueâs men were capable and efficient, Francesca acknowledged that she should give them some time. Besides, there was no point pushing them too hard.
The two then went downstairs to have their breakfast, and Francesca asked Mylo about Monicaâs condition.
Mylo quickly updated Francesca. It turned out that Monica was shot in her leg, but the bullet missed the vital spots.
A bullet also grazed her on her arm in the meantime, but the injuries were all taken care of by the doctors.
Hearing that, Francesca was much more relaxed. She also told Danrique that she wanted to visit Monica after breakfast.
âDidnât Mylo tell you sheâs fine? The doctors will take care of her, so thereâs nothing to be worried about.â
âBut sheâs injured because of me, so itâs my responsibility to see to it that sheâs doing well. Besides, she also escorted me back to Xendale.â
âYouâre always worried about something, arenât you?â Danrique was left voiceless. âFine. Do whatever you want.â
Francesca rolled her eyes at him. After making up her mind to visit Monica, she reminded, âRemember to call me if you have any news.â
âGot it.â Danrique reached out a hand to her.
Francesca stuttered for a second before walking up to him. She gave him a warm hug and kissed him on his forehead before leaving.
She had never felt that before, but now, she realized Danrique was just like a little boy who needed her attention.
