Chapter 378 Francesca smiled and joked, Smart people tend to like sugar, and youre exceptionally brilliant, so you have an even bigger sweet tooth than I do.


    You seem distracted


    Has something happened? Andrew 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.


    Andrew nodded silently, feeling it was not his ce toment 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.


    Andrew 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.


    Youre right.


    Ive noticed it too.


    Especially after you cured my condition, his attitude toward me became increasingly ufortable.


    Last time, he even snuck into my room with bad intentions


    If you hadnt returned unexpectedly, I dont even know what I could do to save myself! Do you have any feelings for Simon ? Andrew 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 Andrew analyzed.


    But clearly, while you dont 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.


    Youre exactly right, Andrew


    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 t out refused when that didnt work.


    And after being rejected, Simon got angry and upset, leading to the argument with your grandfather? Andrew 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.


    1/2 Chapter 378 Let me guess he didnt take it well? Andrew 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, ncing at Andrew before looking away, her face showing a mix of embarrassment and unease.
