Chapter 205 A Good Boy He initially thought that Bruce had come to his senses and would no longer insist on the three-month agreement with Bernice.
Finnegan was somewhat surprised that he still had to abide by it.
Bernice explained, âGrandpa thinks youâre good, but the agreement was made in front of all the Zimmerman family members. My grandma, however, has never had a positive opinion of you and is adamant about the agreement. To silence her, my grandpa said the agreement must continue.â
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan asked, âDid your grandpa say what would happen if you couldnât fulfill it?â
Bernice replied, âHe didnât mention that. But considering he called to tell me this, I think he wonât insist when the time comes. At most, my grandma and the like will cause a fuss.â
He wonât insist?
Finnegan sneered inwardly, having already figured out Bruceâs thoughts.
Bruce saw his potential but couldnât bear to give up Liamâs influential background.
He was weighing the pros and cons before making a decision.
Regardless of whom he chose in the end, it would benefit the Zimmerman family.
However, Bernice was currently happy, and Finnegan didnât want to spoil it for her. âDarling, it seems ou situation is heading in a positive direction.â
âI was thinking the same. So, do you miss me?â Bernice shyly asked.
âOf course, I do,â Finnegan said with a smile. âIâm even considering whether we should move out and liv together.â
Bernice scolded, âYou naughty thing. I wonât say more. Weâll talk when I have time.â
After that, Bernice ended the call.
Finnegan nonchalantly put down his phone. âOld Mr. Zimmermanâs vision is still lacking. Heâs too cunning. It seems Iâll have to get married after things stabilize, or at least register our marriage. Itâs just He recalled Millicent.
Finnegan rubbed his chin. âThat old lady should be Old Mr. Zimmermanâs second wife. How come Bernice and her dad donât seem to know about it? Bishop is a man destined to only have a daughter.
Where did his son, Timothy, come from? It seems I need to help my wife eliminate these complicatio some point!â
t was almost evening.
Not long after Zephyr gave Finnegan a call, he drove his Bentley, with a license plate bearing five sixe Jerome Medical Clinic. Felix had already reserved a place for their gathering.

Thinking about Jeromeâs earlier request, Finnegan called out, âYuliana, come with me to a party.
She looked a bit panicked. âIâd rather not. Iâll sweep the floor and read my books.â
She hadnât had normal contact with people for two years, and now she was reluctant to interact with strangers other than those she knew well.
Finnegan walked over and forcibly took Yuliana into the car. âThe construction crew will take care of the waste. Tonight, Iâll introduce you to some friends.â
âFinnegan. I really canât do it.â
âCan we not argue about this? Just listen to me tonight!
As Zephyr observed Finnegan forcing Yuliana into the car, he couldnât help but admire the former.
No wonder Grandpa wants to gift Wynter to him. Heâs amazing!
He also hurriedly got into the car and stepped on the gas.
Yuliana blushed and asked, âIf I go with you, can you let go of me?â
Seemingly afraid she would run away, Finnegan tightly held her hand, their fingers interlaced.
Finnegan smiled and released her hand. âThatâs better.ââ
Yuliana blushed even more, âIâm not a child. Donât talk to me like that.â
âOkay. Be obedient, and I wonât say anything.â
After more than half an hour, Zephyr drove the car to a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city.
Finnegan glanced outside and was surprised. âHow did we end up here?â
They were at Bennett Farmhouse.
He had visited this place with Stephen and the like previously. This place was owned by Nancyâs family, and she was Rhiannonâs classmate.
Finnegan still remembered that somewhat strange Bennett Sanchez.
Only fourteen years older than Nancy, he falsified his age and identity to play the role of her father.
Zephyr thought that Finnegan might find this place a bit low-end and quickly explained, âDonât judge t place by its appearance, Dr. Larkin. Donât judge it by its appearance. The taste here is exceptional.
Reservations are needed even on regular days and holidays, while status doesnât work.â
Stephen had mentioned this before.
Finnegan was too lazy to explain that he had been here. âItâs quite nice. The serene surrounding is perf for gatherings and chats.â
âOkay. Dr. Larkin, you can get out now. âm leaving.â

Finnegan asked, âArenât you coming with us?â
Scratching his head in embarrassinent. Zephyr said, âYou guys are too serious, and I feel out of place.
If you need a ride, just find me. They should be arriving soon. Just head in!â
Hearing this, Finnegan didnât insist. He knew that Zephyr preferred lively and bustling settings.
âOkay, go ahead.â
With Yuliana, Finnegan got out of the car and headed inside.
Noticing that Yuliana was a bit nervous, Finnegan said. Although Mr. Miles and Mr. Haimowitz come from extraordinary backgrounds, they donât have any bad habits and are quite easy to get along with.
Besides, Iâm here, so you have nothing to fear! Besides, you canât possibly spend your entire life in the clinic, right? Youâll have to go out at some point, wonât you?â
Unexpectedly, Yuliana blurted out, âAs long as you donât kick me out, Iâll stay at Jerome Medical Clinic forever.â
Finnegan gave a wry smile and naturally took Yulianaâs hand. âDonât talk nonsense,â he said. âIâm going to introduce you to someone. Sheâs my sisterâs classmate and has a really nice personality.â
As Finnegan was about to take Yuliana to greet Nancy, a car horn suddenly sounded behind them, approaching them swiftly.
Finnegan pulled Yuliana to the side of the road as a BMW whizzed past them without showing any signs slowing down.
The car had only traveled about ten meters before it came to a stop. Out stepped a woman, heavily mad up and flamboyantly dressed, along with a young man in casual attire.
Finnegan raised an eyebrow. âNeed an apology?â
However, Yuliana suddenly gripped his hand tightly, her nails digging into his flesh.
Feeling the pain, Finnegan asked, âWhatâs wrong, Yuliana?â
Yuliana bit her lip, eyes filled with resentment. âMy parents were killed by them!â
The man was Jared Webb, her first love with whom she had been in a relationship for three years. The woman was Sallie Lanier, her best friend in college.
Yet, the two were secretly dating, and she caught them red-handed.
She collapsed on the spot.
To console her, her parents took her to the tribal village for a vacation, leading to the subsequent trag So, her parentsâ death and her two years of madness were indirectly caused by the affair between Jare Sallie.
If not for their betrayal, there would not be any trip to the tribal village.
Finnegan furrowed his brows. He had no idea Yuliana suffered a double blow from her most trusted |||
boyfriend and best friend before the incident.
âOh, isnât this the lofty campus belle Yuliana?â
Jared and Sallie had also approached by now. Recognizing Yuliana, Sallie sneered, âI heard your parents died after Jared dumped you, and you went crazy. Why do you look fine now?â
The usually gentle and elegant Yuliana suddenly became agitated. She howled, âGet lost! I donât want to see you two shameless creatures!â
Seeing Yuliana angry, Sallie seemed even more pleased Clinging to Jaredâs arm, she mocked, âWhy are you so angry? Didnât Jared pick me because you were pretending to be all high and mighty? Who can you blame?â.
