Chapter 378 Francesca smiled and joked , Smart people tend to like sugar , and youre exceptionally brilliant , so you have an even bigger sweet tooth than I do .


    You seem distracted .


    Has something happened ? Andrew asked while studying her expression .


    Francesca hesitated before sighing .


    Its nothing major , but Grandpa and Simon had a huge fight .


    Grandpa threatened to expel him from the family practice .


    Andrew nodded silently , feeling it was not his ce toment on the Aickers family matters .


    Francesca continued , When our whole family rushed to rescue you at the police station earlier , Simon strongly opposed it and kept arguing with Grandpa and me .


    After you were saved , Grandpa went home and scolded Simon , but Simons reaction was extreme , which led to their big argument .


    Andrew responded , Mr.


    Aicker has quite a temper I could tell.


    Fran , you might not like hearing this , but Simon seems to have questionable intentions .


    Francesca nodded in agreement .


    Youre right .


    Ive noticed it too .


    Especially after you cured my condition , his attitude toward me became increasingly ufortable .


    Last time , he even snuck into my room with bad intentions .


    If you hadnt returned unexpectedly , I dont even know what I could do to save myself ! Do you have any feelings for Simon ? Andrew asked directly .


    Francesca blushed and quickly shook her head .


    Not at all .


    Ive never had romantic feelings for him .


    Though we grew up together , and Ive always respected him as my senior , Ive only ever seen him as a brother figure .


    you .


    And Andrew analyzed .


    But clearly , while you dont like Simon , he has feelings for unrequited feelings , when left unresolved for too long , can make people do foolish things .


    Im guessing hes been showing signs of wanting to get closer to you ? Francesca looked impressed and lowered her voice .


    Youre exactly right , Andrew .


    Actually , theres something else I havent told you .


    Another reason for the fight was that Simon openly asked Grandpa for my hand in marriage .


    Grandpa tried to deflect at first , but he t out refused when that didnt work .


    And after being rejected , Simon got angry and upset , leading to the argument with your grandfather ? Andrew asked .


    Francescas expression showed disgust as she continued , Thats exactly what happened .


    I told Simon directly that I didnt have feelings for him and asked him to stop pursuing me .


    I said we could continue being like siblings and pretend none of this happened .


    1/2 Chapter 378 Let me guess he didnt take it well ? Andrew smiled knowingly .


    Francesca nodded , her fair , delicate face flushing with anger .


    He said I could only ever be his woman and wouldnt give up until he had me .


    And then he mentioned you … She suddenly stopped , ncing at Andrew before looking away , her face showing a mix of embarrassment and unease .
