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 .noveldrama

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 .

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 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 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 .
