“How should I address you then?” Donald turned to ask Francesca casually.
“I…” the latter was at a loss for words.novelbin
Danrique introduced her right away, “You can address her as Ms. Cece. After she fully recovers, I’llstart preparing for our wedding. I’ll notify everyone again after the date is set.”
Francesca was thunderstruck. What? Am I hearing things? Did he just mention about our wedding?Even though we’d known each other during our teenage days, we’d not met each other for ages! Nowthat we’ve only reunited for barely a few days, he’s already thinking of marrying me? My goodness!Has he gone nuts?
Donald smiled jubilantly. “What great news! Congratulations!”
Next, he turned toward Eva. “Eva, congratulate Mr. Lindberg now!”
“Ah!” The latter was momentarily stunned before she finally forced a tight-lipped smile. “Mr. Lindberg,congratulations!”
“Thank you! Let’s dig in,” Danrique replied indifferently.
Shortly after, the few of them chatted jovially while enjoying their meals. Donald asked Francescaaffably, “Ms. Cece, you’re from Zarain, aren’t you?”
“Ah! Yes,” Francesca, who was cutting the steak, replied courteously.
In the meantime, she could not help feeling awkward and could barely wait for the session to end.
“What do your parents do?” Donald asked again.
Paying no heed to his question, Francesca told Danrique, “I’m done. Enjoy your meal.”
The next moment, she stood up and was about to leave.
The moment Danrique made a gesture, Norah moved forward to help Francesca up toward the stairs.
“Mr. Lindberg…” Eva lifted her wineglass, thinking of clinking glasses with Danrique. However, shesomehow accidentally splashed the glass of red wine onto herself. Startled, she yelped and stood uphastily.
Donald frowned and reprimanded, “What’s the matter with you? Why’re you so careless?”
“Go and clean yourself up then,” Danrique stated placidly.
The next moment, Sean assigned a maid to bring her upstairs.
Eva quickened her pace to catch up with Francesca, who was going up the stairs, and apologized inUstranasion, “Ms. Cece! I’m sorry about my impulsiveness in the backyard just now!”
“It’s all right,” Francesca replied casually.
“My dress is dirty. Can I get myself cleaned up in your room?” Eva asked eagerly, putting on herbrightest smile. Evidently, she was trying to butter Francesca up.
“There’re plenty of guest rooms. Why do you have to go to my room?” Francesca cut to the chase.
“Ehm…” Blushed crimson, Eva could not utter any words.
“Ms. Eva, I’ll get someone to take you to the guest room then.” Norah tried to rectify the situation atonce.
Flashing the latter with a smile, Eva thanked her sincerely, “Thank you.”
After that, she turned to pester Francesca, “Mr. Lindberg is usually occupied and might not be able tokeep you company all the time. I bet you must be feeling bored in this castle. I can accompany you toexplore Xendale. There’re a lot of interesting tourist spots here…”
An inexplicit glint flashed across Francesca’s eye as something came to her. She turned to look at Eva,“Oh, is that so?”
“Of course!” The latter was over the moon at Francesca’s response and uttered excitedly, “I grew up inXendale, so I know well about all the interesting places here and eateries serving delicious food. I canbring you to go skiing and look at the snow leopards and auroras. If you are a food lover, I can take youto savor a wide variety of sumptuous food and even take you to parties…”
“That’s great! Come to my room to get changed then. We can even have a chat there,” Francescastated friendlily, a stark contrast to her indifference a while ago.
“Okay!” Eva responded blissfully.
At the dining table, Donald’s lips curved into a smile at the sight of the two young women who seemedto get along well. He lifted his wineglass to give Danrique a toast. “Danrique, you know that I’ll alwaystake your side, don’t you? Despite anything, we’ll be family members forever…”
Needless to say, Danrique disliked wasting time blabbering hypocritically with Donald. Nonetheless, hehad to play along with the latter as the other three great forces were eyeing their corporation at themoment. Thus, he had no choice but to join hands with Donald to battle against their foes.
Clanking glasses with him, Danrique stated subtly, “Uncle Donald, I feel relieved when you say so.We’re the only two left from the direct bloodline of the Lindberg family. Hence, we’re now in the sameboat and should be in unity for our family’s prominence!”
Donald nodded and reassured him, “You’re right. Don’t worry. Regardless of any decision you make, I’llalways support you!”
