Chapter 1027: My Fabulous Girl Boss

Francesca had no choice but to tell William everything.

“I don’t remember anything from seven years ago. Taking the bullet for him this time was a coincidence. It wasn’t intentional on my side. He was opinionated and fancied himself into thinking I saved him out of love. With that in mind, he kept insisting that I marry him. I tried to escape several times but failed.”

William’s expression turned solemn. “I heard he had a girlfriend who was his first love and been searching for her all these years. I even helped him ask around. I never expected that person to be you.”

“That is not important. We can’t take childhood incidents seriously.” Francesca frowned. “But I can’t trouble you with this. With his temper, you might have to bear the brunt if you continue to get involved with me.”

“Yeah. Dr. Felch, we can’t involve His Highness in this matter-”

“Shut up!” William interrupted Robin and shot a death glare at him. Once Robin got his point, William turned to Francesca and asked, “Is he still unaware of your true identity?”

“I don’t know.” Francesca shook her head. “I’m afraid once he knows about it, he’ll think I’m making a fool out of him. The matter will escalate by that point. Well, I did keep the issue under wraps back when I was in M Nation.”

“Okay.”

Francesca nodded her head and went out via the window.

Even though the wind and snow had stopped, the external wall and window ledge was still encrusted with frost, so they were slippery, causing her to almost lose her grip and footing.

It was a good thing she was agile and managed to grab onto the window ledge at the last minute. She expended all her energy on scalding the wall back to her room.

Once her feet touched the solid floor, she let out a long exhale but gasped the next minute.

A figure was sitting on the sofa in the corner, holding a glass of wine and staring pointedly at her in the dark.

There was no reproach or anger in his gaze. He was calm and looking at her with resignation and adoration as though his kitten had snuck out for a stroll.

“Have fun scalding the wall?”

His tone was calm and casual as though he was inquiring about a minor issue.
