Chapter 626

Andrew wondered if Francesca still remembered that he had helped her with his hands. He felt a little guilty; he had been in the wrong yesterday.

Francesca blushed, hesitating as she said, “Actually, I… I remembered most of it. My body was out of control at the time, but my mind was very clear.”

Andrew cautiously asked, “Do you remember how I saved you in the end?”

He hoped that Francesca did not remember that part. If she did, he would be embarrassed beyond measure.

Francesca bit her lip, clearly embarrassed. After a long pause, she murmured, “I remember everything in bits and pieces. It’s all kind of fragmented, but the moment when you saved me… I remember that the clearest.”

Andrew gave a dry laugh, realizing he was at a loss for words. The one thing he had hoped she would not remember was the part she recalled the most vividly.

‘It’s as if it was all fate,’ he thought.

“Andrew, don’t feel guilty. I know you were only trying to save me, even if you had to resort to that method. So, don’t worry, I’m not upset with you. In fact, I’m really… really grateful.”

Francesca’s innocent face flushed with shyness as she softly spoke. After she finished, her ears turned bright red.

Andrew rubbed his nose awkwardly and said, “Fran, we’re friends. There’s no need to thank me. As long as you’re okay, and you’re not mad at me for what happened, that’s all that matters.”

Francesca quickly shook her head and replied, “I’ve never been mad at you. Actually, Andrew, I’m truly grateful to you for letting me experience what it really feels like to be a woman for the first time.”

“I never imagined that becoming a real woman could feel… this good!” Her voice trailed off, barely above a whisper.

Andrew heard every word and was stunned. “You gave me your first time? Fran, what do you mean by that?”

Francesca gave a soft smile, gazing at Andrew with deep affection. She pressed her lips together and said, "Andrew, that was my first time yesterday. I gave it to you, and I’m happy about it. I don’t regret it at all.

“Even though I know you belong to Lauren and not to me, at least I can say I was once yours. That’s enough for me.”

Then, she added with a slight pause, “Don’t worry, I’ve been at the hospital recently, testing with pregnancy strips every day. I guarantee… there’s no baby, so you don’t have to worry about that!”

Seeing her bashful, delicate demeanor, Andrew’s mind buzzed. He could not believe what he was hearing. “Fran, you… you think we… did that?”

Francesca gave him a playful glare, turning her head away and feigning anger. “There’s no one else here. Are you saying you did it, but you won’t admit it?”

Andrew panicked and fumbled for words. “No, I…”

He had never expected Francesca to think they had actually gone that far the night before. However, Andrew had only used his fingers.

A cold shiver ran down his spine, and it only took a second for him to realize that Francesca had probably gotten things mixed up. She had been in an excited, disoriented state, unable to tell what had really happened.

“Fran, you misunderstood. Actually, I-” Andrew quickly tried to explain. This was something that absolutely needed to be cleared up.
