Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 2169

Chapter 2168 Limited Capabilities

Danrique had trouble falling asleep the entire night. Whenever he recalled the scene of Francesca leaving without looking back, a stabbing pain shot through his heart.

It was only last night when they were having an intimate moment on that very bed. He could still remember the way she curled up like a docile kitten and shivered in his embrace.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake away the memory of how cute she looked.

I don’t understand. She seems to like me a lot and looks happy when we’re together. But why does she behave like an entirely different person when William is mentioned? She keeps saying she’s doing it because she feels responsible and wants to keep her promise. She’s just a kid. Why would she be responsible for a man—a prince, to be more specific—and even his family? And that nonsense about friendship. I really can’t wrap my head around it. As if any kind of purely platonic relationship can exist between a man and a woman. What utter nonsense!

He could not understand, nor did he want to understand what was going on.

All he believed was that Francesca did not love him enough, for she had left him for another man.

She knew going to Danontand was no different from challenging death, yet she still chose to leave. Her last words for Danrique, telling him to find another woman because she did not want to waste his time, were like an insult to him.

Fine. If she’s going to be this stubborn, then I shall let her learn this lesson the hard way. She’s a stubborn idiot who won’t give up until she realizes it’s hopeless. I’m going to make sure she learns her lesson this time.

Back then, Francesca had always traveled without any worries. She could even sleep soundly when she escaped Danontand with pursuers chasing after her the entire journey.

This time, however, she could not fall asleep.

She kept staring out of the window, her mind occupied with thoughts of Danrique.

In the past, she could come and go whenever she wanted, even if they got into a fight and broke up. Even if it was the latter scenario, she could continue being stubborn or stand her ground.

However, their relationship had progressed to another stage, and their feelings for each other had deepened.

Deep down, she did not want to leave.
