Chapter 2168


    Danrique had trouble falling asleep the entire night. Whenever he recalled the scene of Francesca


    leaving without looking back, a stabbing pain shot through his heart.


    It was onlyst night when they were having an intimate moment on that very bed. He could still


    remember the way she curled up like a docile kitten and shivered in his embrace.


    No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake away the memory of how cute she looked.


    I don''t understand. She seems to like me a lot and looks happy when we''re together. But why does she


    behave like an entirely different person when William is mentioned? She keeps saying she''s doing it


    because she feels responsible and wants to keep her promise. She''s just a kid. Why would she be


    responsible for a man—a prince, to be more specific—and even his family? And that nonsense about


    friendship. I really can''t wrap my head around it. As if any kind of purely tonic rtionship can exist


    between a man and a woman. What utter nonsense!


    He could not understand, nor did he want to understand what was going on.


    All he believed was that Francesca did not love him enough, for she had left him for another man.


    She knew going to Danontand was no different from challenging death, yet she still chose to leave. Her


    were like an insult to him.


    Fine. If she''s going to be this stubborn, then I shall let her learn this lesson the hard way. She''s a


    stubborn idiot who won''t give up until she realizes it''s hopeless. I''m going to make sure she learns her


    lesson this time.


    Back then, Francesca had always traveled without any worries. She could even sleep soundly when


    she escaped Danontand with pursuers chasing after her the entire journey.


    This time, however, she could not fall asleep.


    She kept staring out of the window, her mind upied with thoughts of Danrique.


    In the past, she coulde and go whenever she wanted, even if they got into a fight and broke up.


    Even if it was thetter scenario, she could continue being stubborn or stand her ground.


    However, their rtionship had progressed to another stage, and their feelings for each other had


    deepened.


    Deep down, she did not want to leave.


    To be honest, she was hesitant the moment she stepped out of the room. She wished Danrique would


    stop her, and they could then talk things through properly.


    Sadly, he did not do that.


    All he did was warn and threaten her.


    Threats were absolutely useless on Francesca, who had a stubborn character. Hence, hearing those

    ruthless words only made her leave without looking back.


    In truth, she was actually feeling a little reluctant when she stole the car and left with Monica. And when


    she stared at the reflection of the master bedroom windows through the rearview mirror, hesitance


    crept into her heart.


    However, Francesca did not see his silhouette there, and with Monica urging her on, the former had no


    choice but to m on the gas pedal.


    There was no turning back the moment they left in the car.


    Since she had decided to walk down that path, all she could do was march forward bravely.


    At that thought, Francesca took a deep breath.


    As she turned around, she found Monica sound asleep beside her.


    Monica had been worried about William the entire day, but she soon fell asleep after taking some pills


    for the wounds on her legs.


    After putting a nket over Monica, Francesca leaned back in the chair and stared nkly into space.

    All those thoughts made Francesca realize how limited her capabilities were.
