“Are you with William right now?”
Danrique's tone changed immediately.
Though she felt timid inwardly, Francesca decided to stick with it after glancing at William quickly.
“Yeah, why?”
“You realize that the time right now on your side is one o'clock in the morning, do you?” Danrique's
voice sounded like the sharp wind in the winter through the phone. “Francesca, you blacklisted me on
your phone and hung out with a man late at night. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Splendid. You did well!”
“That's not it, I-”
As she wanted to explain further, the phone was immediately hung up by Danrique. It happened so fast
that Francesca, still holding her phone, was left dumbfounded. “Da*n it. He hung me up.”
“You just had to stir up trouble,” William sternly scolded Robin while seeing this.
“This is all my fault.” Robin hurriedly lowered his head before apologizing, “I'm deeply sorry for what
happened, Ms. Felch.”
“No, this is not your problem. He's just being mean, that’s all.” Francesca, however, was not bothered
by what happened. “All right then, let's not be affected by him and continue our meal, shall we?”
“Frannie, you think I should give L a call and explain it to him?” William asked gently, “He must have
the wrong idea after learning that you're with me when it's late at night.”
“And what if he did misinterpret something? Why do I care?” Francesca complained before she said,
“He didn't explain anything about his entanglement with Hazel either.” “Hazel's love for him is just
unrequited. L doesn't even like her to begin with.” William smiled. “But I could tell that he's really into
you.”
“And if he did love me so much as you said, he would be here by now. He wouldn't wait for so long.”
The more Francesca thought of it, the angrier she got. “It's been nine days since I'm back in S Nation,
and I still don't see any actions from him!”
“About this...”
“Forget it. That's enough. Thank you for the delicious food. Please excuse me for now,” said
Francesca, who had lost all her appetite.
“Okay. You should get more rest. It's very late now.” while sitting in his wheelchair, William sent her out
and said, “Since I know you're angry, I won't be saying anything else, but do give L a call once you're
feeling better.”
“No. I won't!” Francesca sulked. “He can do whatever he wants, and I don't care!”
“This-”
“See you!”
With that said, Francesca sped off in her car and left.
As for William, he stayed at the same place as he watched the lady driving further away. When the car
was no longer in sight, he turned around and said, “We should get going too.”
“Yes, sir.”
When Francesca got home, she parked her car outside of the compound in fear that she would wake
Layla and the others. Just as she snuck into the house and was about to head upstairs, a voice she
could never forget sounded behind her, “You're back.” “Ms. Layla!' Francesca turned around right away
and looked right back at Layla timidly.
“Go and take a bath.” Layla had a pillow in her arms as she went up the stairs. “I'll be sleeping with you
tonight.”
When she got older, however, she started getting used to sleeping alone.
Besides, the house was so massive and clean that there were no more mice.
“There will be a heavy thunderstorm tonight. I'm scared.” Layla gave her a reason that definitely was
not convincing at all.
“Okay...”
Francesca was a little speechless, but there was no way she could turn Layla down.
Thinking that Layla was asleep, Francesca carefully got into the bed, only to hear Layla asking, “Are
you sleepy?”
“Not really.” Francesca was startled for a second. “Ms. Layla, you're not asleep?”
