Chapter 196 Unexpectedly Still Alive

Finnegan changed his itinerary and took a taxi back to Dragon Bay first.

That day was Soren’s eightieth birthday, and the birthday gift he prepared for Soren was still at home.

Meanwhile, as long as Desmond didn’t run, he was basically back to normal.

He should also ask William to arrange for him to revamp the education system.

Otherwise, with nothing to do every day. Desmond tended to be in a negative mood.

“Finny, why didn’t you come back last night? Did you see Lindsey?” As soon as Finnegan stepped through the door, he was pulled aside by Quiana, who looked at him with a suspicious and worried gaze.

Upon hearing that, Finnegan knew what she was thinking and said, “Yes, I did see her. Mom, rest assured, I only sent her home. I didn’t do anything else.”

Upon hearing that, Quiana nodded and said, “As long as you understand. Bernie cherishes you and her parents approve of you. You must not let down their trust in you.”

“Mom, don’t worry. I’m just going upstairs to grab a few things. Dad, you change your clothes. I’ll take you somewhere special later. I have a surprise for you.”

Desmond asked. “What’s the surprise?”

Finnegan teased playfully, “You’ll find out when the time comes.”

After Finnegan went upstairs, Desmond muttered, “What’s with all the secrecy? What is he

up to?”

“It doesn’t matter as long as he’s safe and sound.”

Desmond nodded. “That’s true. However, even if Finny doesn’t stir things up himself, I’m afraid those girls won’t let him off the hook!”

Upon hearing that, Quiana couldn’t help but be taken aback and sneakily glanced upstairs. “What do you mean?”

Desmond pulled Quiana aside. “Didn’t you notice something off about the way Ms. Langdon and Ms. Wahlstrom, who came a few days ago, look at Finny? Also, a few days ago, when I asked Rhia how her work was going, she said it was good but that Ms. Haimowitz often asks her about Finny. Based on my judgment, these women seem to have a thing for Finny. Even if Finny avoids Lindsey, can he avoid the

others?”

Quiana frowned. “How could that be? Each of Ms. Wahlstrom’s family members is more formidable than Bernie’s family. How could they possibly take a liking to Finny?”

Desmond said, “Think about it more carefully.”
