"All right, that’s indeed his style.What about the remaining sum of money?* she probed.
"I won''t cover the amount due for the misceneous fees and items.Let''s talk about therger items instead.I flew
over to care for you, which then affected my business operations.That alone incurred a loss of about two billion.As
for the remainder, that''s mypensation for caring for you all this time" Danrique borated.
"You..." began Francesca, but she trailed off mid-sentence, speechless.
"It all makes sense logically and I have a case as well.I''ve had mywyer record everything and list the items fully
on a document.Since you don''t want to marry me, you''ll have to pay for all this.However, if you do agree, then all
this expenditure can be chalked up as our daily household expenses and we can wipe the te.Furthermore, you''ll
stand to receive half of whatever ie I make in the future.You''ll be so rich that you won''t be able to put a
number on it no matter how hard you try" he stated.
The more I listen to this, the more it seems like it would be a good choice to marry him.It really seems like a good
deal.
As she mused over this issue, Francesca''s heart and mind started to tilt in favor of Danrique.He astutely picked up
that cue and decided to ply on it.
As such, he added, "That''s not all.In the future, Dr.Felch can feel free to donate as much as he wants wherever he
wishes.No restrictions at all!"
She couldn''t help but smile broadly upon hearing that, and eximed, "Ah! I''m sure he''ll be overjoyed if he knew
about this! He''s donated all the money he has received from providing medical services all this while."
"That''s right! All in your name too!" stated Danrique in a gentle tone all of a sudden.
"What?" she eximed as her eyes widened in shock.She was clearly unaware of that particr snippet of
information.
"Sean specifically looked into the funds Dr.Felch listed.Based on thetter''s instructions, he always made sure to
make the donations in your name whenever he did that" exined Danrique.
He lightly added, "Sean found that matter to be rather curious, so he decided to enquire with the management staff
of the funds.That was how he found out that the money had always been donated in your name the entire time.The
staff also added that they had previously asked why your name was being used and pegged to these donations.The
only reply they got was that he wanted to do some good for the world and in the name of his primary
apprentice.Dr.Felch also mentioned that things rarely went ording to n for his apprentice, so he wanted to do
what he could for the world in the hopes of umting good merit for his apprentice.Ultimately, he hoped that
that kid''s journey moving forward would be smooth sailing."
No sooner had the words fallen from Danrique’s lips did the tears started streaming down Francesca’''s face.She
dove into his warm embrace and started bawling so hard that she was shaking.
He lightly patted her on the back and tried to soothe her as gently as he could.
Although he was typically a man of few words, he realized he seemed to have spoken too much that day.
However, he knew that this was primarily because he had been touched by the depth of emotion and the strength
of the rtionship that Francesca and Dr.Felch shared.
Furthermore, he had recently been thinking of Isabe quite a fair bit.
Simrly, his aunt used to make ns for him and tried to pave the way forward for him wherever possible.
That was the reason why he could strive forward and achieve all that he had without facing too many challenges.
"Don''t you see now? You get to enjoy an abundance of benefits and opportunities if you marry me.Not to mention,
he acknowledges me as well? dered Danrique out of the blue in an attempt to change the subject and lighten the
atmosphere.
"Really? Are you sure about that? You''re always behaving like you don''t care a shit about anything.I''m sure he
doesn''t like you at all?’ remarked Francesca as she was surprised.
"I was extremely respectful to him.Not only did I personally escort him to the ne, but I also saw that dog he
keeps with him.It has grown to be ratherrge now.I don''t think the name Cece suits it much anymore; he
replied.That particrment elicited a small chuckle from Francesca.
Danrique deftly brought the topic of marriage around once more and asked, "That being said, are you agreeing to
marry me? Remember that you''ll have to pay up if you don''t want to proceed with the marriage.On the other hand,
if you do agree, you''ll be rolling in cash..."
"All right then! I''ll ept my fate.Let''s get married" stated Francesca as she sighed deeply, almost as if that was

something she found extremely frustrating.
"Listen to that tone.You don''t seem very willing,"
At that, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Hang on...You haven''t exined the matter
between you and Hazel.What are all the rumors and gossip about? What about the photos of both of you behaving
intimately together? Not to mention Moon River''s Heart..."
"Ah, look at the time.Let''s head to bed.We can talk about this tomorrow!" he eximed in reply in an obvious
attempt to change the subject.
"You..."
She was about to burst into a tirade when the sound of knocking suddenly carried over from the door.
That was swiftly followed by an update from Sean, who said, "I have something to report, Mr.Lindberg."
Danrique frowned and carefully rescinded his arm from where it had been casually wrapped around Francesca''s
neck.He rose to his feet and put on his clothes as he instructed, "Head to bed first.I''ll go take a look"
She didn''t probe much and only grunted in acknowledgment as she watched him stride toward the door.
As he walked, he suddenly stopped mid-stride and turned to look at her before he stated, "Remember this! You''ve
already agreed!"
"What?" replied Francesca on reflex.
However, she swiftly pouted and added, "Go."q
