Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 1979

Chapter 1979 

Francesca and Layla exited the airport and were about to get into a cab.

At that moment, a childish voice sounded.

"Hello!"

Francesca turned around and saw Candice sitting obediently on a stone block with a rag doll in her arms.

"Hello, we meet again!"

Francesca greeted the little girl.

"My name is Candice.What about yours?"

Candice beamed at her.

"I'm Francesca Felch."

Francesca returned the smile.

"Where's your daddy?"

"Daddy went to drive the car here.He told me to wait for him here? Candice replied obediently.Francesca exchanged glances with Layla as they sensed something was wrong.If Candice’s father had really gone to drive the car over, he should have brought Candice along.

Moreover, Candice was waiting beside the taxi passageway, which prohibited the entry of private vehicles.

They wondered why he left Candice there to wait for him and if he was in trouble.

"The car is here.Let's go""

Layla did not wish to invite trouble to themselves, so she dragged Francesca along to get in the cab.

"Are you leaving, Francesca?"

Candice gazed at Francesca longingly.

"Yes."

Francesca pitied Candice as she gazed at the latter sitting alone on the stone block.

"Candice, will you feel scared waiting for your daddy here by yourself?"

Candice nodded.Her eyes reddened the next second.

Francesca's heart ached slightly when she saw Candice's pitiable look, so she decided to stay.

"Don't be afraid.I'll be here to accompany you."

"Really? Thank you, Francesca"

Candice was overjoyed.She hurriedly jogged forward and held Francesca's hand.

"Francesca!"

Layla tried to persuade Francesca otherwise.

"It's all right, Ms.Layla.I'm just going to keep this little girl company for a little while.We'll get into the cab and leave as soon as her father returns"

Francesca whispered.

"You..."

Francesca was about to mention something else, but she noticed something was odd about that man’s right arm.

Although he tucked his hand in the pocket in an attempt to conceal his condition, the fresh blood slowly oozing through the fabric had exposed his injuries.

"Don't be nosy.Let's go!"

Layla noticed the wound as well and quickly dragged Francesca away.

At that moment, Francesca realized the presence of a few men in black outfits wearing black face masks among the crowd.

They were hurrying in Candice's father's direction with one hand hidden in their sleeves.She turned around, wanting to warn him.

Right then, Candice suddenly broke free from holding her father's hand.She turned on her heels and ran toward Francesca while holding some candy.

"Francesca, this is for you!"

"Candice..."

He hastily stepped forward to pull Candice back, but he was too late.

Bang! Bang! Bang! 

Gunshots rang all of a sudden.

All the shots were aimed at Candice's father.

Candice, the pitiful little girl, accidentally took a shot in her father's stead.Her petite figure fell to the floor as she lay in a pool of blood.
