Chapter 183: Francesca Jones Unwinds
“Francesca Jones, there you are.” Blanche Capra spoke naturally, trying to smile and look very pleased with herself.
Mrs. Casey turned to look at the visitor, and there was mockery on her face, looking at York Charlie with indignation and complaint. York Charlie, too, frowned at the sight of Francesca Jones’s sudden appearance, and did not look very well.
What’s he doing here at a time like this?
Francesca Jones smiled when he saw Blanche Capra calling out to him, he smiled back, “I just got here and just … saw so many of you all there.” He asks Blanche Capra, “How’s it going? Are you still not feeling well?”
Blanche Capra shakes her head, “Much better.” She smiles, “It’s a good thing you’re here, otherwise I’d be too depressed here for people to handle.” She doesn’t even look at York Charlie.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Mrs. Casey snorted softly when she saw her merrily talking to another man, “Look at her, York! In front of all of us, she’s so unsettled, she’s so unsettled, she’s so unsettled, she’s so unsettled, she’s so unsettled, she’s so unsettled, it just blows my mind!”
York Charlie stopped her, “Mum! Have you said enough?!”
Francesca Jones heard Mrs. Casey talking like that, even though she was York Charlie’s mother, his temper rose, not to mention that York Charlie himself didn’t like her much, Francesca Jones said in a deep voice, “Auntie, you’d better cut it out, just now I heard you cracking at the door. doorway just now, I heard you crackling a whole lot of vicious words, also do not build up a little bit of morality, ch-ch-ch-ch-changing …”
York Charlie turned to look angrily at Francesca Jones, “Francesca Jones, mind your own business!”
Mrs. Casey had been furious with the brat in front of her, and heard York Charlie defending her, her heart was soothed, and she was about to say a few words in favour of York Charlie, when she heard Blanche Capra say, “Francesca Jones heard someone swearing at me, and he said, “What’s the matter with that? What’s wrong with being nosy?”
Though she spoke, she still didn’t look at York Charlie, “You Young Master Charlie, President Charlie better mind your own business at your house, I won’t keep you much longer.”
Mrs. Casey’s eyes rounded in shock when she heard her say that about York Charlie. Her own son was actually being treated with disdain, she felt a sense of shame and was just about to open her mouth to curse when she was interrupted again.
Only York Charlie’s cold voice was heard, no anger, no sharpness, but colder than that temper he had thrown earlier, ”You don’t need to rush me. I only ask you, have you really thought it through? Want me to die? To cut me off?”
He questioned her, he stared at her, but she didn’t dare look at him at all.
Blanche Capra secretly squeezed her palms, not knowing what to do. All she could do at this point was look at Francesca Jones without knowing what use she was making of such a gaze.
Unexpectedly, Francesca Jones sensed her dilemma and opened her mouth to say to York Charlie, “She has already made it clear, what else do you want her to think about? York Charlie, your mother always said that others did not have self-knowledge, please have some self-knowledge yourself.”
As soon as Francesca Jones’ words left her mouth, Blanche Capra, however, had the strong urge to turn back to York Charlie.
She couldn’t help but wonder what he would think when he heard those words.
Before York Charlie could do anything in response, Mrs. Casey couldn’t listen any longer, and she glared angrily at the two of them, Blanche Capra and Francesca Jones, “How dare you guys really speak? Saying that York has no self-awareness,” she laughed in exasperation, “If you have the guts to stop pestering my York, if you have the guts to run far away and not be allowed to come any closer. Blanche Capra, do you have the guts to do that?!”
York Charlie seemed to fall silent and stood behind her without a word.
Blanche Capra heard Mrs. Casey speak so word for word, and at last she asked her if she had the guts? To stop pestering him, to stop appearing before his eyes, to stop coming near him … Blanche Capra felt her heart ache at the thought.
No, she couldn’t do it.
But, but she was now in a predicament where she had to force herself to speak against her will. He was desperate for her to marry him, but she still felt that they were far from that, that too much had gone wrong between them, and she still couldn’t face him with complete indifference.
Not to mention, she was still in the throes of losing her child.
She wanted him to know that no one could sway her decisions, no one could dictate her choices. Not even him.
Blanche Capra was silent for such a moment, then smiled again, the smile was cold, “Well, we’ll see.”
She threw out the words without regard for the consequences, and the next moment she saw York Charlie’s swept figure, then became the back of a departing figure, disappearing from her sight.
That doorframe, empty.
Suddenly she could smile no more.
Mrs. Casey saw York Charlie leave, a face of indignation, but also some York Charlie and Blanche Capra fall out of gloating, happy to see, she glared at Blanche Capra, “Yo, just now was not quite arrogant? Now that our York is gone, why are you such a dead weight?”
Francesca Jones saw her leaving and was still busy taunting Blanche Capra, her heart ached for Blanche Capra and at the same time, she felt bitter for herself when she saw that her face had gone a few shades of white, he said angrily to Mrs. Casey, “Enough is enough? Don’t think that just because you’re York Charlie’s mum I won’t dare touch you! Try cursing again!?”
Mrs. Casey knew that men at that age were fearless, and there was no need for her to get into trouble, so she held back her anger and left. Besides, she had to go after York Charlie.
And while she was at it, let him die that death to Blanche Capra!
It’s only after Mrs. Casey leaves that Blanche Capra moves her lips and turns to Francesca Jones with a pale face, “Thank you, Francesca Jones.”
Francesca Jones laughs, “You’re welcome, from now on, ah, if she scolds you, you scold her back! There’s nothing to put up with!” He looks on in pain.
Blanche Capra shakes her head, “No, I’m thanking you for coming to see me, for showing up on time, for saving me.”
She said three “thank you” words in a row, but the face looks grey and withered, as if no life, Francesca Jones heart panic, his hand suddenly over her hand, “Blanche, are you really all right? You … you mustn’t be imagining things, get better quickly.”
Blanche Capra drew back her hand and smiled reluctantly.
“Don’t smile if you can’t.” Francesca Jones said softly.
Blanche Capra shook her head, “Don’t you worry about me, I … have my measure.”
The more Francesca Jones looked at her, the more he felt that she was heartbreakingly strong, and he couldn’t help but say, “Blanche, from now on, from now on I’ll take care of you, okay? I’ll always be there for you and I won’t leave.”
Blanche Capra didn’t expect such a true confession from him at this moment, she froze for a moment, then shook her head and said very seriously, “Francesca Jones, I’ve hinted to you many times, I don’t need your company.” She sighed, “You might as well go, I want to rest.”
Francesca Jones didn’t lose much ground when he heard her answer, it was the answer he expected. However, he couldn’t help but feel sad, and although reluctant, he complied with her wishes and left her alone to get some rest.
Francesca Jones then left the ward.
He walked outside with a somewhat heavy heart, recalling the scene he had seen of the confrontation between York Charlie, Mrs. Casey and Blanche Capra, and for the first time he felt that the matter was not as simple as he had originally thought.
York Charlie and Blanche Capra’s relationship didn’t seem to be as simple as he thought it was either.
He sighed heavily.
