Chapter 2094 Shot
Guilt laced William’s face as he apologized, “I’m extremely sorry, Francesca… You two seem to always fight because of me.”
“That has nothing to do with you. He’s just petty.” Francesca huffed out of irritation. “The two of us are just friends and nothing else. Plus, I’m taking care of you because I’m treating you as a patient with no ulterior motives. Yet, he still doesn’t trust me.”
A hint of disappointment flashed across William’s eyes as he heard what Francesca had said. He was right to think that Francesca had no feelings for him but only viewed him as a patient and a friend.
However, his lips quickly curled upward into a smile. He turned to look at Francesca. “I suppose his emotions just got the best of him. He cares a lot about you, so sometimes, he overreacts.”
Francesca did not respond but merely ate her breakfast. “Francesca…” William looked at her with mixed emotions in his eyes. A hesitant look appeared on his face.
“What is it?” Francesca could tell something was bothering him. “Nothing. Enjoy your breakfast! The shrimp dumplings are not bad today. Give it a taste.” William quickly changed the subject.
Francesca was on edge. “Just spit it out. You’re a grown adult, so act like one.”
“I just wanted to say that… if you’re involved in this incident, there is a possibility that Danrique will be involved too.” William looked concerned. “It’ll be the end if he’s dragged into this as well.”
“What? How would he be involved?” Francesca was lost.
“Once Robin reports that you have detected poison in my castle, His Majesty’s first reaction will be to investigate your background. Even though your identity would be a good credential, it might not be enough to get rid of his bias toward my relatives, unless…”
“Unless they find out I’m Danrique’s fiancée?” Francesca finally understood.
