Chapter 2129 Coaxing Him

Her concession softened Danrique’s heart. He grabbed onto her ankle, placed her feet on his lap, andeven used his warm hands to warm up her feet.

His actions had broken the ice between them. Tears filled Francesca’s eyes as she pouted her lips.

“Silly Girl!” Danrique’s heart ached for her, yet he was frustrated with her. He pulled her against hischest and reprimanded, “Why did you run off to Danontand without discussing it with me?”

Francesca pouted, feeling aggrieved. She didn’t respond as more tears filled her eyes.

“Does it hurt?” Danrique couldn’t bear to scold her. He gently rubbed her feet with his hands and tuckedher hair behind her ear. “Your hair is this long already?”

“Yeah.” Francesca nodded with acknowledgment. “You said you like long hair, so I didn’t cut it…” hervoice broke into a sob. Danrique’s heart was crushed at the fragility in her tone.

He cupped her face and leaned down to kiss her. “All right, don’t cry. Everything is fine now that you’reback.”

Sean rolled his eyes at the passenger seat. Mr. Lindberg sure is easy to coax. All it takes is onesentence in a soft, pleading voice to soothe his ruffled feather. He kept saying he would punishFrancesca and give her a severe scolding to teach her a lesson before. I suppose he has forgotten allabout that. All that’s left in his mind and heart are heartache for her.

“It’s cold,” she complained.

Francesca curled up her cold, trembling body against him like a kitten.

Danrique tightened his arms around her and pressed her face deeper into his chest. “You won’t feelcold like this,” he said with a kiss on her forehead.

“Mm-hmm.” Safety and warmth filled Francesca’s chest, smelling his familiar scent. Something warmsurged within her and warmed up her body immediately.

“Silly Girl!” Danrique hugged her even tighter. “Tell me everything next time. Don’t act recklessly. Gotit?”

“Sure.” Francesca nodded obediently. Suddenly, Danrique’s ringing phone cut through the sweetatmosphere. Feeling frustrated, he took out and was about to hang up the call when Francesca saw thename flashing across the screen—it was Hazel.

The softness in her heart earlier hardened instantly, and rage stirred within her. She snatched hisphone, rolled down the window, and tossed it through the opening.

Everything happened within seconds.

It was so fast that Danrique didn’t even realize what was happening.

“You—”

“I almost forgot.”

Francesca broke free from his embrace and scoot back to her side with a straight back. Herdependence and cuteness earlier had gone up in smoke. Even her eyes that were brimming with tearsearlier had a fierce glint in them.

“You’re marrying Hazel. Why did you come looking for me?”

Her tone, posture, and attitude were those of a wife interrogating a husband.

Danrique rolled his eyes and coldly demanded, “Roll up the window!”

“Yes, sir.” Sloan immediately wound up the window.

Sean glanced in the rearview mirror and instantly lowered his head, trying to shrink himself in his seat.

“What is this attitude of yours?” Danrique looked at Francesca with a frown. “You haven’t evenexplained to me what was going on between you and William.”

“Nothing is going on between William and I. Nothing at all.” Francesca accused, “You, on the otherhand, had even taken wedding photos, and news of your engagement has spread. Explain that to me.What’s going on?”

“You first.” Danrique wasn’t moved by her accusations. “You were the one who left for Danontand first.”

“I went to Danontand to treat my patient. Do you think I’m a player like you?” Francesca’s temper flaredthe more she spoke. “As for you, you never break off your relationship with Hazel. Now that news ofyour engagement with her has spread, you’d better explain to me.”
