When nothing happens, we can use that against them both.
Ernests eyes lit up as he grinned.
Thats exactly what well do ! As evening fell, the lights of Jayrodale began to twinkle.
Kingsley had planned to return to Moonlit Sanctuary to rest, but Francesca called and invited him to meet at a riverside.
restaurant.
Since Kingsley had not driven his G Wagon to West End, he took a taxi to the restaurant.
When he arrived, he found Francesca wearing a floral dress, lost in thought as she held a cup of coffee. Kingsley sat across from her with a smile and said, Fran, whats wrong? You seem preoccupied. Francesca managed a small smile and asked, Kingsley, you’re here. What would you like to drink? Kingsley replied with a smile, I’ll have black coffee with sugar.
Francesca smiled and joked, Smart people tend to like sugar, and you’re exceptionally brilliant, so you have an even bigger sweet tooth than I do.
You seem distracted
Has something happened? Kingsley asked while studying her expression.
Francesca hesitated before sighing
Its nothing major, but Grandpa and Simon had a huge fight.
Grandpa threatened to expel him from the family practice.
Kingsley nodded silently, feeling it was not his place to comment on the Aickers family matters.
Francesca continued, When our whole family rushed to rescue you at the police station earlier, Simon strongly opposed it and kept arguing with Grandpa and me
After you were saved, Grandpa went home and scolded Simon, but Simons reaction was extreme, which led to their big argument.
Kingsley responded, Mr. Aicker has quite a temper I could tell.
Fran, you might not like hearing this, but Simon seems to have questionable intentions.
Francesca nodded in agreement.
You’re right.
Ive noticed it too.
Especially after you cured my condition, his attitude toward me became increasingly uncomfortable.
Last time, he even snuck into my room with bad intentions
If you hadnt returned unexpectedly, I don’t even know what I could do to save myself! Do you have any feelings for Simon ? Kingsley asked directly.
Francesca blushed and quickly shook her head.
Not at all
Ive never had romantic feelings for him.
Though we grew up together, and Ive always respected him as my senior, Ive only ever seen him as a brother figure.
you.
And Kingsley analyzed.
But clearly, while you don’t like Simon, he has feelings for unrequited feelings, when left unresolved for too long, can make people do foolish things
Im guessing hes been showing signs of wanting to get closer to you? Francesca looked impressed and lowered her voice.
You’re exactly right, Kingsley
Actually, theres something else I havent told you.
Another reason for the fight was that Simon openly asked Grandpa for my hand in marriage.
Grandpa tried to deflect at first, but he flat out refused when that didnt work.
And after being rejected, Simon got angry and upset, leading to the argument with your grandfather? Kingsley asked.
Francescas expression showed disgust as she continued, Thats exactly what happened.
I told Simon directly that I didnt have feelings for him and asked him to stop pursuing me.
I said we could continue being like siblings and pretend none of this happened.
Let me guess he didnt take it well? Kingsley smiled knowingly.
Francesca nodded, her fair, delicate face flushing with anger.
He said I could only ever be his woman and wouldnt give up until he had me.
And then he mentioned you… She suddenly stopped, glancing at Kingsley before looking away, her face showing a mix of embarrassment and unease.
Kingsley replied calmly, Simon has always had issues with me, so I’m not surprised he brought me up.
Im guessing he complained about me to Cedric and you? He didnt complain because I wouldnt let him speak ill of you, Francesca answered awkwardly.
He just asked if you were the reason I wouldnt be with himf, and what our relationship was like. Kingsley found himself momentarily at a loss for words.
Looking at Francescas innocent face, he smiled and asked, So what do you think about all this? Francesca stammered, caught off guard by his directness.
W What do you mean? I’m asking what you think about the situation
We could use this to help solve your problem with Simon, Kingsley clarified with a gentle laugh. Francesca turned away, pretending to look at the riverside scenery to hide her flustered expression. Her heart was racing as she tried to calm her breathing.
Kingsley explained carefully, You misunderstand.
Im not asking if you have feelings for me.
In fact, I have an idea that might help stop Simon from pursuing you.
Francescas eyes lit up with curiosity
Tell me ! If it can help me deal with Simon, I’d be so grateful
Kingsley hesitated before continuing, Hear me out completely before deciding.
Its just a temporary solution.
Francesca nodded eagerly, saying, Go on! You’re much smarter than me; surely you great idea.
have a Kingsley replied, You can tell Simon that you and I are seeing each other, and that Mr. Aicker approves.
He might be angry at first, but having no hope might help him move on.
Francesca pretended to glare at Kingsley.
Why do I feel like you’re taking advantage of this situation? Kingsley quickly backtracked.
If you feel that way, just forget I suggested it! 1 Then, Francesca broke into a smile.
No, I think its a good plan.
Simon is 33 now its time for him to find someone else.
Once he gets over me, Grandpa can belp him find a suitable match, and everything will work out. Kingsley smiled back.
Im glad I could help ! Francesca looked at him with a gentle gaze.
Kingsley, thank you.
You really are kind.
I was feeling down earlier, but talking with you has brightened my mood.
Kingsley joked lightly, My help usually comes with a price, you know.
To his surprise, Francesca puffed out her chest, her tone both bold and playful.
Fine! Go ahead and name your price and I’ll see to it that you’re compensated.
I’ll even let Lauren know I’m giving it to you willingly.
I promise not to complain or cause any trouble, and I’ll even pur it in writing and sign it! Kingsley nearly spat out his coffee
He could not help but think to himself: It was not the innocent looking ones with killer curves you should fear it was the ones who played coy and knew exactly what they were doing
The evening breeze swept across the riverside, bringing with it a refreshing mist from the water.
Kingsley checked the time it was already 8.30 p.m.
He wondered if Natasha and Dylan had made their move yet, though he knew he would hear about it in the morning.
Just then, a group of people sat down nearby, their laughter carrying across the space.
Aspen, you’re absolutely brilliant! I can’t believe you managed to strike a deal with Atlas Giordano, the king of the Northern District ! Yes, yes! Aspen, you’re truly worthy of being from the main Snees family branch.
Even here in Jayrodale, you’re already dealing with all the major players as equals.
Im truly impressed! The fawning voices sounded familiar to Kingsley.
Glancing over, he recognized Leroy and Irene.
At their table sat the two beauties, Hannah.
Aspen and Aspen replied with practiced modesty, Please, Leroy, Aunt Irene, you’re too kind.
Atlas is just a street thug anyone with enough money can work with him.
Though I’m new to Jayrodale, with Hannahs help and the Snees family influence, most people are willing to work with me, Kingsley almost laughed.
While Aspens words seemed humble, they dripped with the arrogance of a Snees family heiress. Only social climbers like Leroy and Irene would grovel so shamelessly.
Aspen, dear, Hannah mentioned you invested ten million in your partnership with Atlas ? Irene probed. Aspen nodded.
