Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary) novel Chapter 1946

Layla was confident as she added, “You just have to find a way to bring me along with you to the banquet.”

“I don't think there will be any problems with that,” Francesca remarked. Her gaze dropped before she continued, “But Anthony is still in the castle. What would happen to him if we just leave like this?”

“The person you like doesn't have such a horrible personality, right?” Layla inquired, a smile on her face. “I don't think he'd use Anthony to threaten us if he's a decent person.” Francesca fell silent upon hearing Layla's words.

She knew that Danrique would not do so. However, for some unknown reason, she did not feel like carrying out the plan.

“Do you no longer want to leave, Francesca?” Layla asked. She could tell that Francesca was hesitant. “We could stay, and you could get married to him in peace.”

“No.” Francesca shook her head frantically. “I have to leave. I must leave!”

Layla sighed. “Take your time,

Francesca. Make your decision after giving it some serious consideration.”

With that, Layla silently went to the side and started tidying up.

Francesca, on the other hand, experienced a flood of conflicting emotions as she sat on the sofa, hugging her knees.

After spending time with Danrique, she acknowledged that she did feel something for him. However, she had too many worries and still had a lot to do.

She felt as though she were a bird trapped in a gold cage while she was there. Therefore, she had to leave.

As time passed, a knock was heard, followed by Norah's voice. “May I come in, Ms. Cece?”

“Please come in,” Francesca responded.

Norah had brought a maid with her and was ready to clean up. However, she realized that the food on the table was untouched.

Concerned, she asked, “Are you feeling unwell, Ms. Cece?”

Before Francesca could say anything, Layla had replied in her stead, “She has been experiencing stomach ache today. But fear not; I’ve already given her some medication.”

“Should we call a doctor?” Norah asked quickly.

“No. It's just a minute problem,” Francesca replied before glancing at Layla. “You should come with me later, Ms. Layla. And bring along the medicine.”
