Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Chapter 1877 Melodrama

Danrique was at that moment sipping his coffee at the dining table. Expecting her to join him at the table at the sight of Francesca descending the stairs, he was most displeased to see her running out into the cold again.

Norah jogged in Francesca’s determined wake as she fretted. “Be careful, Ms. Cece! There’s a chilly gale today.”

Danrique was aghast at the blatant display of stubbornness.

Danrique set his mug down and strode out while pulling his coat over himself.
