qWhen Francesca woke up, Kerrie informed her that Danrique had already left. The man departed three hours ago, and the plane had already taken off.
Disappointment deluged Francesca.
His smell and warmth remain on the pillow beside me, but he left just like that without even a word to me. I initially thought that it'd be nothing to go about our own affairs and see each other again in a few months. However, he had just left, and I'm already feeling empty. We hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and our meeting this time was a special circumstance. We only managed to spend a few hours together. How fleeting! Then, he left again. I don't even know when we can meet again. I never knew it's going to be so saddening and disheartening to part with someone you love.
“Are you hungry, Ms. Felch? Would you like to eat something now?” Kerrie queried in concern.
“No, it's okay,” Francesca replied on reflex. Subsequently, something occurred to her, and she asked, “Oh yes, why didn't you leave with them?”
Smiling, Kerrie explained, “Mr. Lindberg had me stay to take care of you. Gordon is also staying. He's only going back after everything has been settled.”
“I see!” A sense of warmth suffused Francesca.
Danrique looks cold and indifferent without a romantic bone in him, but he always considers everything for me, even things that never cross my mind... No, that's not right!
She suddenly recalled something.
He didn't explain things about Hazel! I actually forgot to ask about such a major matter! Yet, he didn't take the initiative to bring it up either. How despicable!
Meanwhile, Danrique was busy going through all the documents on the plane.
The president hurried him repeatedly, so he had no choice but to go to the airport an hour earlier and rush back to Xendale overnight.
If it were anyone else who secretly left at such a critical juncture, the president would certainly go off the deep end. But since it was him, the president could only coax and persuade him amicably.
At the thought that Francesca would be busy for another three months, he decided to seize the time to resolve the civil strife issue.
Hopefully, everything will return to normal after three months. Then, Francesca and I can also have our wedding as scheduled.
