Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary) novel Chapter 1898

“Erm...” Guilt clenched Francesca's stomach as she reluctantly asked, “W-When did you come?”

“Fifteen minutes ago.”

Danrique dropped his gaze to look at the wine in his glass.

“I...”

Francesca tried to think of an excuse, but couldn't come up with one. She knew she couldn't involve William, so she lied, “The room was too stuffy. I just wanted to get some fresh air.”

“Next time, if you want to go anywhere or do anything, go through the door and not through the window. It will be a shame if you fall and become the snow leopards' food.”

Danrique set his glass on the table and got up to leave.

Mixed feelings stirred within Francesca as she watched him leave.

Fifteen minutes ago, she had just gone out through the window. That meant Danrique had been sitting there for fifteen minutes, silently waiting for her return.

With his character, he should demand her to spill her whereabouts and what she did in that period. Yet he didn't ask anything. Could it be that he knows where I went? But he didn't say anything. What exactly is he thinking?

The more he acted out of character, the more uneasiness Francesca felt.

Sounds of door knocking next door pulled her out of her thoughts. She heard the door open and Robin's respectful greeting. “Mr. Lindberg.”

“Is William asleep?”

Danrique strode right into William's room.

“No, please come in, Mr. Lindberg.”

Panic flood Robin's chest at Danrique's sudden visitation.

The uneasiness grew within Francesca. Has Danrique gone to find fault with William?

I'm not afraid of anything, but I don't want to implicate anyone. Yet, I can't ask them now, or I might as well be admitting to Danrique that I was there!

Meanwhile, William was sitting on the sofa, sipping on the tonic Norah brought.
