Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo

Chapter 2069 Trust

Danrique’s words were mean, and his tone was filled with disappointment, but Francesca could see the worry in his eyes. It melted her heart instantly.

She couldn’t hold herself together any longer, so she nestled her head on his chest weakly. “Everything is okay now. I’m here.”

Danrique’s heart softened. He couldn’t bring himself to reprimand her anymore, so all he did was stroke her head gently. It was as though he was telling her that he could and would hold the weight of the entire world up to keep her safe.

Francesca immediately showed her vulnerable side. The strong front she had been putting up fell apart at that exact moment. That was when she suddenly thought of something important. “Those bombs, and Anthony, and the kids…”

“Don’t worry. I will make sure everything is okay,” promised Danrique as he marched away with Francesca in his arms. He didn’t even turn back when he instructed, “Get everything settled. I want everyone, except Chrono, to be fine.”

“Understood.” Anthony and the other injured employees were sent to the hospital in time. Gordon was a bomb disposal expert, so all the hidden bombs in the orphanage were removed quickly.

The kids were all transferred to another orphanage while Sloan and the others went with the cops to deal with the aftermath. Everyone got busy, and in a way, everything had finally come to an end.

Heavy rain fell that day, and it lasted until the next morning.

Francesca woke up from her nightmare. When she opened her eyes and saw Danrique’s tender smile, she asked, “How is Anthony? And how are the kids? Is everybody okay?”

Dissatisfaction glowed in his eyes, but he didn’t get mad. Instead, he gave her an honest answer. “A few kids were hurt, but it was nothing serious. That
