Chapter 46 Not Good Enough For Bernie
After being dragged into a restaurant for a meal by Bernice with Finnegan, Bruce was now standing outside the restaurant. “Bernie, why don’t you go and bring the car around?”
She knew her grandfather was surely planning on saying something to Finnegan. Nonetheless, there was nothing she could do apart from secretly shooting a glance at Finnegan before walking away.
Bruce watched her leave before saying, “Finnegan, thank you for saving Bernie from that monster Killian’s clutches five years ago. Also, thank you for helping her to regain consciousness after your return. You truly are her savior.”
Although it sounded as though he was expressing his gratitude, Finnegan detected an undercurrent of some other emotion. “Feel free to speak your mind, Old Mr. Zimmerman.”
Bruce gave him an admiring glance. “I can see you’re a smart man. In that case, I won’t beat around the bush. Bernie’s grandmother and I have already found a good match for her and will arrange for them to meet in a few days. However, Bernie’s feelings toward you seem to go beyond gratitude.

However, Finnegan merely glanced at the check and asked calmly, “So what sort of person de you deem is good enough for her?”
“Firstly, he has to come from the right family. He also has to be capable of protecting her and benefitting our family’s standing. But you’re…” Here, Bruce paused. There was a touch of contempt in his words.
Smiling, Finnegan responded, “My interpretation of that is you don’t care much about your granddaughter’s happiness. You’re only using her marriage to reap benefits for your family.”
Bruce’s brows drew together sharply, and he looked as though he wanted to say something. After some thought, however, he decided there was no need to explain anything to the younger man. “That has nothing to do with you. All you need to do is take the check.”
Nonetheless, he was too late. Finnegan had already developed feelings for Bernice. Even if that were not the case, Finnegan would not have accepted that check either.
