Chapter 1963


    qNevertheless, Danrique was not angry. He merely regarded Francesca with a smile, and his gaze was


    filled with pride.


    Although he did not say it out loud, he felt really pleased. See, that''s my woman!


    The constant ttery started to make Francesca feel cocky. Snuggling in Danrique''s arms, she giggled


    non-stop and forgot about her n to escape.


    When the car returned to the Lindberg residence, she was struck by a sudden realization. Oh no, I''m


    back in this cage! It would be impossible to escape now!


    Beep! Beep!


    Suddenly, Danrique''s phone buzzed. He nced at his phone''s screen and answered the call. “Hi!”


    The person on the other end of the line said something, and a crease appeared between Danrique''s


    eyebrows. After a moment''s silence, he muttered coldly, “Mr. President, I''m going to H City to settle


    some personal matters. The members of the Nacht family and the Lindberg family are sworn enemies,


    so how could both families form an alliance?”


    The president was different from Frank. He was amiable and spoke in a calm tone. Moreover, he kept


    persuading Danrique.


    As a result, it was impossible for Danrique to be angry at the president. Still, he refused topromise.


    “I''ll head there for sure. If anything else arises, we''ll talk about it again once I''m back!”


    The president did not give up. “Danrique, the issue has be the talk of the town. Frank is a force to


    be reckoned with. Although we have dirt on him, it''ll be very difficult for me to take him down on my own


    if you don''t attend the trial. This is a crucial moment, and you mustn''t be absent. Can''t you hold off your


    personal matters for two more days? If you really must attend to them, you can assign someone to do it


    for you. I can also send someone over to help you. Plus, I can even seek help from Zarain. As long as


    you stay, the other matters can be settled easily...”

    The president''s words sounded like a plea, and Danrique found it hard to reject him.


    He frowned and felt troubled.


    “Take care of the important matters,” Francesca said.


    She might not understand Erihalean, but she was aware of what was going on.


    Right now, Frank''s trial was an urgent issue. The only person who could make Danrique answer the


    phone and feel troubled was the president.


    “Just let me spend a few days alone, and don''t be so clingy. I''ll return to H City myself. Perhaps, I might


    even locate that famous doctor.” Francesca eyed Danrique, as if she did not want him to bother her.


    “Mr. Lindberg, I can apany Ms. Felch on her return. Don''t worry. We''ll take good care of her!”


    Gordon said hastily.


    “That is, we''ll head back first, and you cane over once you''ve settled your business,” Francesca


    added, “Don''t dy it because of me. Otherwise, I would be the one to me.”


    “All right.” Danrique finally gave in and promised the president that he would attend the trial. He told


    Francesca, “I''lle over after I send Francesca off at the airport tomorrow.”


    “Great, I''ll wait for you.” The president was overjoyed. “Please send my regards to Ms. Cece and


    express my gratitude!”


    “Okay.”


    Once the call had ended, Danrique pinched Francesca''s chin and warned her sternly, “We''ll get you


    treated, and don''t ever think of running away again. Got it?”


    “Got it,” Francesca replied. As soon as she answered him, she was stunned by her own reaction. She


    did not expect herself to be so decisive.


    Do I really want to stay? But if I don''t leave, I''ll have to marry him.


    As she thought of that, Francesca felt mncholic, and her head started to hurt again.


    Back at the castle, Danrique carried Francesca back to her room and reminded Norah to look after her.


    Then, he went to his study room.


    He still had some unfinished business to sort out. Apart from Frank, he also had to deal with the other


    three families.


    Norah instructed a maid to run a bath for Francesca and help thetter to bathe and change her


    clothes. After having dinner in her room, Francescay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.


    She was too exhausted and wanted to sleep when La phoned up. “Francesca, how are you?”


    “I''m fine. Where are you, La?” Francesca woke up.
