    Chapter 2129 Coaxing Him


    Her concession softened Danrique’s heart. He grabbed onto her ankle, ced her feet on hisp, and


    even used his warm hands to warm up her feet.


    His actions had broken the ice between them. Tears filled Francesca’s eyes as she pouted her lips.


    “Silly Girl!” Danrique’s heart ached for her, yet he was frustrated with her. He pulled her against his


    chest and reprimanded, “Why did you run off to Danontand without discussing it with me?”


    Francesca pouted, feeling aggrieved. She didn’t respond as more tears filled her eyes.


    “Does it hurt?” Danrique couldn’t bear to scold her. He gently rubbed her feet with his hands and tucked


    her hair behind her ear. “Your hair is this long already?”


    “Yeah.” Francesca nodded with acknowledgment. “You said you like long hair, so I didn’t cut it…” her


    voice broke into a sob. Danrique’s heart was crushed at the fragility in her tone.


    He cupped her face and leaned down to kiss her. “All right, don’t cry. Everything is fine now that you’re


    back.”


    Sean rolled his eyes at the passenger seat. Mr. Lindberg sure is easy to coax. All it takes is one


    sentence in a soft, pleading voice to soothe his ruffled feather. He kept saying he would punish


    Francesca and give her a severe scolding to teach her a lesson before. I suppose he has forgotten all


    about that. All that’s left in his mind and heart are heartache for her.


    “It’s cold,” sheined.


    Francesca curled up her cold, trembling body against him like a kitten.


    Danrique tightened his arms around her and pressed her face deeper into his chest. “You won’t feel


    cold like this,” he said with a kiss on her forehead.


    “Mm-hmm.” Safety and warmth filled Francesca’s chest, smelling his familiar scent. Something warm


    surged within her and warmed up her body immediately.


    “Silly Girl!” Danrique hugged her even tighter. “Tell me everything next time. Don’t act recklessly. Got


    it?”


    “Sure.” Francesca nodded obediently. Suddenly, Danrique’s ringing phone cut through the sweet


    atmosphere. Feeling frustrated, he took out and was about to hang up the call when Francesca saw the


    name shing across the screen—it was Hazel.


    The softness in her heart earlier hardened instantly, and rage stirred within her. She snatched his


    phone, rolled down the window, and tossed it through the opening.


    Everything happened within seconds.


    It was so fast that Danrique didn’t even realize what was happening.


    “You—”


    “I almost forgot.”


    Francesca broke free from his embrace and scoot back to her side with a straight back. Her


    dependence and cuteness earlier had gone up in smoke. Even her eyes that were brimming with tears


    earlier had a fierce glint in them.


    “You’re marrying Hazel. Why did youe looking for me?”

    Her tone, posture, and attitude were those of a wife interrogating a husband.


    Danrique rolled his eyes and coldly demanded, “Roll up the window!”


    “Yes, sir.” Sloan immediately wound up the window.


    Sean nced in the rearview mirror and instantly lowered his head, trying to shrink himself in his seat.


    “What is this attitude of yours?” Danrique looked at Francesca with a frown. “You haven’t even


    exined to me what was going on between you and William.”


    “Nothing is going on between William and I. Nothing at all.” Francesca used, “You, on the other


    hand, had even taken wedding photos, and news of your engagement has spread. Exin that to me.


    What’s going on?”


    “You first.” Danrique wasn’t moved by her usations. “You were the one who left for Danontand first.”


    “I went to Danontand to treat my patient. Do you think I’m a yer like you?” Francesca’s temper red


    the more she spoke. “As for you, you never break off your rtionship with Hazel. Now that news of


    your engagement with her has spread, you’d better exin to me.”
