A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 28 Rejected Again

“Finnegan, I heard that you just bought a full-spec Porsche 718. Hurry up and cancel it. That’s your family’s relocation fund.”

After waiting for over ten minutes, Lindsey finally arrived. She immediately urged Finnegan to cancel the booking right away.

“Lindsey, we haven’t received the relocation funds yet. That’s my own money,” Finnegan said with a smile.

Surprised, Lindsey asked, “Your money? Didn’t Rhia say you’re dirt poor and ask me not to look down on you?”

Rhia is such a blabbermouth. Finnegan replied, “I have some savings from treating people these few years. Rhia’s birthday is in a few days’ time. So, I bought a car as a present for her. I really didn’t use the relocation fund.”

Lindsey heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that Finnegan seemed like he was being truthful. “It would have been enough if you bought her a low-spec Porsche 718. Why did you have to buy the top-spec model? Why don’t I return it for you and refund you the difference?”

“Thank you, Ms. Lindsey. As long as Rhia likes it, the price doesn’t matter,” Finnegan said determinedly.

“Well, she is so lucky to have a brother like you. Lindsey decided against commenting further. However, Lindsey then thought about how Finnegan addressed her and said, “It’s fine that Rhia calls me Ms. Lindsey, but you can’t call me that!”

“Why not? You’re older than me anyway.”

“No way. You can call me Linnie or just Lindsey.”

Finnegan smiled and said, “All right, Lindsey it is. People are going to misunderstand if I call you Linnie.”

Lindsey furrowed her brows and asked, “What misunderstanding are you afraid of? Am I ugly?”

Sensing the situation had gotten out of hand, Finnegan hurriedly said, “Let’s treat you first.”

Lindsey shot a glare at Finnegan and closed the drapes.
