Chapter 2160


    “A small matter.” Francesca waved her heavily bandaged hand.


    “As long as you''re safe. You gave me quite a fright!” tittered Monica as she patted her chest. “Maybe


    you should rest early. I won''t disturb you anymore.”


    Having said that, she rushed off to the other courtyard.


    Francesca watched her retreating back, thinking of how carefully Monica treated her to get in her good


    books. She could not help but feel guilty.


    Monica was actually a member of Interpol. There was no need for her to pay too much attention to


    William''s affairs.


    Out of camaraderie and concern for William, however, she was urging Francesca to take action sooner.


    However, Danrique had made arrangements to have her sleep in a different courtyard, not allowing her


    to sleep in the same area. He even made her dress like a bodyguard.


    This series of actions served as a warning to Monica, telling her not to intervene.


    Francesca thought of what Harrier had said to her earlier. When she dwelled on William''s current


    condition, she became even more distressed.


    Even if Harrier had ill-intentions, there was truth to this matter.


    If anything happened to William, Francesca could not live with herself.


    “What is it? Are you still mad?” Danrique had noticed how morose she looked and assumed that


    Francesca was still upset over the Hazel incident.


    “I...” Francesca looked up to gaze at Danrique. “I wish to have a chat with you.”


    Seeing how grave her expression was, Danrique knew what she was about to say. With an arched


    brow, he asked, “Is it about William?”


    Francesca nodded.


    Danrique could not be bothered to have this conversation and turned around to enter the bathroom.


    “Danrique...”


    Francesca called out to him but received no response in return. All she could do was lie on the couch


    and wait for him to finish bathing.


    After a while, Danrique finally emerged from the bathroom d in nothing but his towel. His hair was


    still dripping wet.


    Francesca saw that the window wasn''t shut and that Danrique was not properly dressed. Worried he

    would catch a cold, she brought him a bathrobe to cover himself with and went to shut the window.


    This was an act of kindness and warmth, which should have incited simr feelings. However, the


    opposite happened instead. “You''re usually carefree and unbothered about people. Are you now taking


    care of me for William''s sake?” asked Danrique icily.


    Francesca was rendered speechless. “Danrique Lindberg, did the water go into your brain when you


    took your shower?”


    Danrique arched a brow and looked at her coldly.


    “What are you looking at me like that for?” Francesca was incensed. “I''m taking care of you out of


    concern, and you have to ruin it by speaking like this? Fine. I won''t give a d*mn about you anymore!”


    Danrique could not be bothered to deal with the outburst. He had been so patient all this while, coaxing


    her, coddling her... Yet all she could think about was William.


    This upset Danrique greatly.


    After blow-drying his hair, hey on the bed to read.


    Francesca was still sulking on the sofa and ring at him. Upon noticing that he was ignoring her, her


    temper only worsened.


    Thinking of La''s advice to her, Francesca suppressed her anger and entered the bathroom to take a


    shower.

    The more he thought of this, the more irked Danrique became. He then decided to turn off the nightlight


    and go to sleep.


    This brought her anger to new heights.


    She had tried very hard to control her emotions and talk to him nicely. Not only did he not cajole her,


    but he also became arrogant and cold.


    What''s with his attitude?
