Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary) novel Chapter 2009

“All right, that's indeed his style. What about the remaining sum of money?” she probed.

“I won't cover the amount due for the miscellaneous fees and items. Let's talk about the larger items instead. I flew over to care for you, which then affected my business operations. That alone incurred a loss of about two billion. As for the remainder, that's my compensation for caring for you all this time,” Danrique elaborated.

“You...” began Francesca, but she trailed off mid-sentence, speechless. “It all makes sense logically and I have a case as well. I've had my lawyer record everything and list the items fully on a document. Since you don't want to marry me, you'll have to pay for all this. However, if you do agree, then all this expenditure can be chalked up as our daily household expenses and we can wipe the slate. Furthermore, you’ll stand to receive half of whatever income I make in the future. You'll be so rich that you won't be able to put a number on it no matter how hard you try,” he stated.

The more I listen to this, the more it seems like it would be a good choice to marry him. It really seems like a good deal.

As she mused over this issue, Francesca's heart and mind started to tilt in favor of Danrique.

He astutely picked up that cue and decided to ply on it. As such, he added, “That's not all. In the future, Dr. Felch can feel free to donate as much as he wants wherever he wishes. No restrictions at all!”

She couldn't help but smile broadly upon hearing that, and exclaimed, “Ah! I'm sure he'll be overjoyed if he knew about this! He’s donated all the money he has received from providing medical services all this while.” “That's right! All in your name too!” stated Danrique in a gentle tone all of a sudden.

“What?” she exclaimed as her eyes widened in shock. She was clearly unaware of that particular snippet of information.

“Sean specifically looked into the funds Dr. Felch listed. Based on the latter's instructions, he always made sure to make the donations in your name whenever he did that,” explained Danrique.

He lightly added, “Sean found that matter to be rather curious, so he decided to enquire with the management staff of the funds. That was how he found out that the money had always been donated in your name the entire time. The staff also added that they had previously asked why your name was being used and pegged to these donations. The only reply they got was that he wanted to do some good for the world and in the name of his primary apprentice. Dr. Felch also mentioned that things rarely went according to plan for his apprentice, so he wanted to do what he could for the world in the hopes of accumulating good merit for his apprentice. Ultimately, he hoped that that kid's journey moving forward would be smooth sailing.”

No sooner had the words fallen from Danrique's lips did the tears started streaming down Francesca's face. She dove into his warm embrace and started bawling so hard that she was shaking.

He lightly patted her on the back and tried to soothe her as gently as he could. Although he was typically a man of few words, he realized he seemed to have spoken too much that day. However, he knew that this was primarily because he had been touched by the depth of emotion and the strength of the relationship that Francesca and Dr. Felch shared.
