A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 144

As Mandy snuggled in Finnegan’s embrace, she blushed under the dim lighting. “I was wrong, Finnegan!”

She didn’t expect him to be that mischievous.

Although he didn’t ruin her plan, he did take revenge on her on the spot.

Regret started flooding Mandy’s heart.

“Does it matter if you repent now?” Finnegan sniffed the fragrance of her hair. “I’ve already offended Vilmar. I can tell from his eyes that he’ll kill me if he’s given the opportunity!”

“You can’t blame it all on me.” A bitter stnile curved her lips.

While she did make Finnegan her shield through her scheme, he was the one who provoked Vilmar on his.

Own.

“It’s because they didn’t treat me nicely.” Finnegan pursed his lips. “You’re to blame, too. If you hadn’t tricked me, I wouldn’t have encountered this group of idiots and started arguing with them.”

Before Mandy could explain herself, Matthias and the others approached the two. “Finnegan, right? It’s no fun if you cling to Ms. Langdon. How about you play some games and have some drinks with us men?”

Mandy grew apprehensive and leaned closer to Finnegan.

It was because she didn’t want others to see Finnegan’s hand behind her.

Vilmar was further enraged upon witnessing Mandy being so close to Finnegan.

He even clenched his fists.

Finnegan cleared his throat and released Mandy. “Games and drinks, eh?”

“That’s right. Dare you accept the challenge?” Matthias smirked.

Mandy finally felt a little better. “Finnegan can’t hold his liquor well. You should drink among yourselves, Matthias.”

Using that opening, Ariendel pulled Mandy closer to her. “Why not let Finnegan drink a little with them, Mandy? After all, he’s with you now, so he should familiarize himself with your circle of friends.”

Mandy frowned. “Ariendel!”
