Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 2305 I Really Miss Her âThe current situationââ âWilliam, you should return to Danontand first,â Danrique interjected coolly. Upon hearing that, William knew Danrique had no intention of carrying on the conversation. He nodded and said, âAll right.â
âIâll walk you out,â Sean said politely. As Robin pushed William out, they ran into Danriqueâs subordinate, who came in to make a report. âMr. Lindberg, Ms. Atkinson wants to see you.â
Danrique furrowed his brows. Immediately, Sean replied, âMr. Lindberg has just returned. He needs to rest.â
âUnderstood.â The subordinate quickly went away to inform Hazel, who was waiting outside.
She was craning her neck and staring impatiently at Danriqueâs room, hoping to see him. However, much to her disappointment, Danriqueâs subordinate returned to tell her that Danrique would not be seeing anyone for the time being, as he needed rest.
I am leaving soon with William, and I donât know when I can meet Danrique again. Now, only a wall stands between us. I just want to see him again, but sadly, he doesnât want to see me.
Upon seeing Sean show William out, Hazel instantly went forward and was about to speak when William shook his head at her. She stopped herself.
Right⦠Since Danrique doesnât want to meet me, whatever I say will only irritate him. Itâs better that I leave obediently. When Norah and the others saw that Danrique had returned, they refused to leave, declaring that they would live and die with him.
Even Robinâs words could not sway them, so Sean decided to let them be. William didnât force anyone, and he left first with Hazel. Gordon ordered Squad One to send them to the airport.
Norah made Danriqueâs favorite Chanaean cuisine and personally brought it to the study room. âMr. Lindberg, have something to eat first. You can settle your business after you fill your stomach,â she said, concerned.
Raising his head to look at her, Danrique realized that she seemed to have aged a lot in over a month. Her hair had turned white, likely out of worry for him.
He wanted to comfort her and ask her not to worry, but he didnât know what to say.
In the end, he could only utter, âThank you!â
âNo need to thank me. This is what I should do. Mr. Lindberg, weâre not going anywhere. We will stay here with you.
Nothing will happen to you. Ms. Lindberg will protect us while she watches from heaven.â
Upon hearing Norah mention his aunt, Isabella, Danrique felt a sense of warmth. He remembered that Isabella had once said to him, âDanrique, we, the Lindbergs, are born leaders. No matter what issues we face, we must have the confidence that we can deal with them. Nothing can bring us down.â
I have never feared anyone or anything, but now, I have a weak spot, someone I worry about. Iâm not afraid of death, but I canât let anything happen to Francesca.
âMr. Lindberg.â Seanâs voice rang out.
Lifting his head, Danrique realized Norah had long left. He gathered his thoughts and ordered, âTell everyone to eat and sleep well tonight. They donât need to worry about being attacked. That silly old bugger wonât dare to make a move for the time being.â
âUnderstood. I will inform them.â
Sean immediately went to convey Danriqueâs orders and told Norah and the others to prepare some delicious food to reward the subordinates.
They had been through life-and-death situations with them and hadnât had a nice meal or good sleep in over a month. Now that they were back, they could finally rest.
After arranging everything, Sean served Danrique his medicine. âMr. Lindberg, itâs time for your medicine.â
Danriqueâs wounds had not healed, so he had been taking modern medicine.
Seeing the handful of medication reminded Danrique of Francesca. If sheâs here, she will force me to drink immensely bitter herbal concoctions. Although itâs easier to take modern medicine, I miss the scent of herbal concoctions. It will be nice if sheâs here.
âMr. Lindberg, why not give Ms. Felch a call? She must be waiting,â Sean reminded softly.
