Chapter 644 He Doesn’t Care About Those

Elspeth knew that this matter was not so simple. Merely apprehending Jorman wouldn't be enough.

But for now, she couldn't find any leverage against Alphascape Group.

Yena was a very meticulous person. Even the phone number she used to communicate with Jorman

was from overseas, which made it difficult to trace.

However, it wasn't entirely impossible.

...

In the evening, Frank had already prepared the meal and went upstairs to invite Raquella for dinner,

only to find her peacefully sleeping in bed.

These past few days of taking care of Mariana had taken a toll on her.

After seeing her so exhausted, he didn't have the heart to wake her up and simply tucked her in.

Perhaps his movements were a bit too drastic, Raquella, who was sound asleep, suddenly woke up.

She froze after seeing him crouching beside her with an indulgent smile on his face.

"When did you come in?"

Frank suddenly realized that he had barged into someone else's room without permission and felt a bit

embarrassed as he scratched his head.

"I came to tell you that dinner's ready, but you didn't respond. I thought something happened to you, so

I came in to check. Turns out you were just too tired and fell asleep. If you want to continue sleeping, I

won't disturb you. I can reheat the food for you when you want to eat."

A wave of warmth filled Raquella's heart.

"It's okay. I'll get up now and eat."

She uncovered the blanket and was about to put on her slippers when suddenly she felt dizzy, and her

vision blurred.

He clearly noticed her discomfort and his tone carried a hint of anxiety. "What's wrong? Are you feeling

unwell?"

"It's nothing. Maybe I just haven't been getting enough rest lately, so I feel a bit dizzy."

After resting for a while and feeling better, Raquella stood up.

"Let's go."

However, Frank remained standing still. When she turned back and looked at him in confusion, he

suddenly turned around and scooped her up in his arms.

"Frank, what are you doing?"

She was startled, but due to inertia, her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck.

"Hold on tight. I'll take you to have dinner."

He secretly flashed a smile, though no one noticed that his ears had already turned crimson.

Just like that, Raquella was carried out to have dinner by him. Under the sparkling gaze of his starry

eyes, she gave high praise to the meal he had prepared.

"It's delicious."

His eyes instantly shone even brighter.

"I'll cook for you every day from now on then."

Her expression turned somewhat strange, and she awkwardly smiled.

Couldn't he see that she was speaking without a clear conscience?

The fish was a bit too salty; the rice was a bit hard; the pork ribs, which were supposed to be sweet,

tasted spicy, and she couldn't tolerate any spiciness…

However, looking at his expectant expression, Raquella couldn't bring herself to criticize him.

Moreover, she had been busy taking care of her aunt these days, and many things at home were taken

care of by Frank. She was grateful to him beyond words.

So, she nodded firmly.

"Okay. Thank you."

However, he suddenly acted like a rogue.

"Well, since you've eaten my food, you have to be my girlfriend."

Raquella choked on her food.

"Why?"

Her face turned red from choking on the food, and after coughing hard, she finally asked this question.

"There's no reason for it. It just popped into my mind all of a sudden." Frank propped his chin with one

hand as he looked at her intently. "It's also something I've been planning for a long time."

She didn't know how to respond for a while. After struggling for a long time, she managed to come up

with a sentence.

"I'll take it as a joke."

His face immediately dropped.

"Why would you take it as a joke? I'm not joking."

Raquella felt a bit awkward. "Because I've never considered this before. I've never thought about

dating. I also didn't expect you to like me."

Frank placed both hands on the table while looking somewhat puzzled. "Why? Isn't it obvious that I like

you?"

"Is it?"

She had always been a bit dense and slow when it came to matters of relationships.

Upon hearing his words, she was not surprised, but rather confused.

"When did you start liking me?"

Frank gritted his teeth in frustration. "I've been treating you so well. I followed you home, stayed here,

and helped you with so many things. If I didn't like you, could I have lost my mind?"

She looked at him and gave a straightforward answer. "I thought you've always been out of your

mind…"

He almost couldn't catch his breath.

How is this woman so dense?!

"All right. Now that you know I like you, can you agree to go out with me?"

Frank's gaze was filled with fervor, almost as if he could burn a hole in her heart.

"I don't know. I haven't considered the idea of dating before."

Raquella sounded somewhat helpless, but she slowly expressed her thoughts.

"For me, my life has always revolved around studying, working, and taking care of my aunt."

"I've never thought about being in a relationship or having any intimate involvement with the opposite

sex."

"Your sudden intrusion into my life did catch me off guard."

"I've had men pursue me before, but I never took them seriously because I always felt that I wasn't

compatible with any of them."

He looked at her and followed up with a tight response. "I think we are very compatible."

Raquella shook her head. "Although those men weren't particularly outstanding, they still had decent

qualities. The fundamental reason why I didn't want to be with them was that I felt I wasn't worthy of

them."

Frank frowned. "Why?"

"I don't know." She rubbed her temples. "If you truly like me, you should consider it carefully."

Frank pressed his hands on her shoulders and asked, "What about me? What do you think about me?"

"You… are someone I've never considered."

He suddenly felt a hint of frustration. "So, you think I'm even worse than those men?"

That was the image she had of him in her heart.

Raquella was surprised. "Why would you think that? I've never belittled you."

"Not only that, but I also think you're outstanding. I simply can't measure up to you."

He looked at her and realized she wasn't saying it insincerely. Feeling helpless, he asked, "What do

you think makes you unworthy of me then?"

She felt a bit embarrassed to answer such a question. With her head down, she recounted quietly, "I

feel inadequate in all aspects. I think you deserve someone better, so I don't understand why you like

me."

"Raquella."

Raquella looked up. This seemed to be the first time he called her name with such emphasis.

"Do you really think I care about those things?"

She didn't know how to respond and could only helplessly say, "How about we forget about it for now?

Let's not talk about this."
