qThat night, Francesca lay on the bed, repeatedly tossing and turning in her bed, unable
to fall asleep.
She could not fathom Danrique's sudden request to break up with her.
He had always accepted and tolerated me whenever I did as I pleased in the past, so why
can't he put up with me now? Is he falling for someone else, or did he misunderstand my
relationship with William?
Francesca's thoughts were a tangled mess. She wanted to clarify that matter with
Danrique, but her calls would not connect. In the end, she tried sending him a message:
B*stard, you better explain further. What did I do wrong? Why are you breaking up with
me?”
However, after typing that message, she changed her mind. Thus, she immediately
deleted and amended the last part of the text: Fine. If a breakup is what you want, then so
be it. I hope you'll be happy!
She sent the message afterward but regretted it instantaneously.
Francesca hurriedly tapped on her screen to recall the message, but that function was
unavailable for short message service.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe covered her forehead in frustration, despising herself for putting on a tough front.
However, it was too late for her to take back her words or say anything to justify her
statement now.
Discomfort churned within Francesca's chest as she was at a complete loss. If Layla had
been there, Francesca could have discussed that matter with her, but now, there was no
one around to talk to her.
Francesca was losing her composure in the face of a problem she was utterly
inexperienced in handling.
At that moment, her phone rang. Assuming that it was Danrique calling, Francesca
hurriedly picked up the call. “Hello!”
“Ms. Felch, it's me, Monica.”
“Oh. It's you.” Francesca was slightly disappointed.
“I heard you're in Danontand. Coincidentally, I'm in the country too. Please let me know if
you need my assistance.”
“Okay. Thank you,” Francesca replied halfheartedly.
“What happened to you? Why do you sound a little upset? Am I interrupting you?” Monica
asked concernedly.
“No...” Francesca yearned to express her feelings and doubts at that moment, so she
could not help but ask, “Monica, I have a question for you.”
“Please, go on,” Monica swiftly responded.
“If a man suddenly suggested breaking up with a woman. What could be the reason?”
“Is there any conflict between the two people, or perhaps a misunderstanding?”
“There is a minor conflict, but not something very significant. There's also a slight
misunderstanding, but that man would not listen to the girl's explanation. He demanded a
breakup without communicating with her properly. And now, the girl is baffled.”
“If that man suddenly wanted a breakup, perhaps he already has another option.”
Francesca panicked after hearing that. “What? Do you mean he's seeing another woman?”
“If there is no major conflict between the couple, that may be a probable reason. Why else
would he request for a breakup?” Monica questioned Francesca.
Francesca was immediately reminded of Hazel upon listening to those words. She recalled
the previous ambiguous interaction between Danrique and Hazel, not to mention how he
had never explained that matter to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnger surged within Francesca at once as she felt she was being cheated.
Monica uttered tactfully, “This is just my speculation. I suppose only the people concerned
would know what has actually happened. Why are you asking this all of a sudden, Ms.
Felch? Are you referring to yourself—”
“No. I saw this scene from a television show.” Francesca quickly switched the topic of
conversation. “It's getting late, Monica. You should rest earlier.”
“All right. Goodnight.”
Francesca remained furious after hanging up the phone. She wanted to contact Danrique
and demand an explanation from him, but her pride would not allow her to do so.
She texted him earlier and he did not reply either.
Perhaps he has already decided to ignore me and draw the line between us so that he can
be together with Hazel.
Francesca's wrath intensified as she dwelled further on that matter. She wanted to fly to
Xendale immediately, seize Danrique, and interrogate him before tearing him apart.
But I can't leave now... Hold on.
Francesca thought of a possibility. Is Danrique deliberately provoking me so that I will go
to Xendale to look for him?
