Chapter 2009


    “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,”mented Danrique as he yfully spanked her on


    her buttock.


    “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. Co?tent of Dr?manovеls


    “What?” replied Francesca on reflex. However, she swiftly pouted and added, “Go.”
