rising from the ashes Chapter 378

rising from the ashes 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 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 .
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 uncomfortable .
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 .

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 flat 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 rising from the ashes 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 , glancing at Andrew before looking away , her face showing a mix of embarrassment and unease .
