A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 47 Is That So Difficult To Attain

The next morning, Finnegan received a call from Bernice asking him out for breakfast.

After washing up quickly, he left the hotel under the aggrieved gaze of Alisha, who had already prepared breakfast, rushing to the agreed location.

It was an ordinary diner.

“Why did you ask me out?”

As soon as Finnegan had taken a seat, he tossed that question out with utter chagrin written on his face.

Bernice was stunned for a moment, at a loss as to the man’s sudden temper.

Mulling it over for a while, she reckoned it was because of the incident last night and hastily explained, “I know Grandpa must have said something unpleasant yesterday night since he made me leave. But his words don’t represent my stand. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to call you after that, but Grandma confiscated my phone right after I’d sent Grandpa back.”

At the sight of her anxiety, Finnegan could no longer keep up the act. His lips curved into a smile. “I’m not angry about the incident last night, silly. It’s just that I should’ve been the one to ask you out. How could you be the first to ask me out when you’re a princess?”

Following that, Bernice fell silent and blinked her eyes.

The instant she registered his meaning, she flushed bright red and chided softly, “Meanie! You’re teasing me again!”

Chortling, Finnegan poured her a glass of milk. “That’s because I like you. Besides, you’re the only person I tease. I don’t do so with other girls, not even giving them a second glance. Moreover, this isn’t teasing but sweet talking.”

Whoa! He’s truly an expert at flirting, huh?

Bernice blushed even harder. She muttered with a snort, “I’m not talking to you anymore, Meanie. All you do is pick on me.”

“That shows how much I care about you!”

Finnegan’s honeyed words had a thrill course through Bernice, but she feigned displeasure. “How glib! Don’t think I’m going to accept you just because of this. I’m exceedingly difficult to pursue.”

Grinning, Finnegan asserted, “It’s okay. You’ve already taken the first step, so I’ll finish the

Bernice never expected him to be able to tease her every other sentence, and her face flamed even hotter.
