A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 213 Narrow Minded

“Finny!” Suddenly, Desmond slapped the table, his face grim.

Quiana also showed her displeasure. “I know you want us to live here and enjoy ourselves. But we must be honest. What’s yours is yours, and you shouldn’t make false claims about what’s not. If word of this gets out, aren’t you afraid of becoming a laughingstock?”

Finnegan didn’t expect such a strong reaction from his parents.

A wry twitch tugged at the corner of Finnegan’s mouth, leaving him in a state of bemused disbelief.

He thought that after that period of time, his parents’ ability to accept things would have improved significantly.

However, at that moment, it seemed that his parents still couldn’t accept that he was the owner of Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa.

In order to get his parents to stay, he didn’t go along with their wishes this time. “Mom, Dad, this Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa really is mine. Mr. Miles gave it to me as a thank you for saving him—”

“Enough!” Desmond interrupted him, “If you continue to be so vain, I won’t acknowledge you as my son. Moreover, Bernice is still here. Can you not show off so much in front of her?”

Finnegan was momentarily speechless. What I’m saying is the truth!

Seeing him struggle to explain, Bernice couldn’t help but find it amusing.

A hand quietly reached under the table to hold his.

Bernice then said softly, “Mr. Larkin, Mrs. Larkin, Finnegan didn’t deceive you, nor was he acting out of vanity. This Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa really was a gift from Mr. Miles.”

Suddenly, Quiana became anxious. Pointing at Finnegan, she cursed, “You scoundrel! Did you deceive Bernie?”

Bernice quickly explained, “Mrs. Larkin, Finnegan didn’t lie to me. Please listen to what I have to say.”

Afterward, Bernice shared everything she knew and some things Finnegan had told her, in detail, with Desmond and Quiana.

In the end, it seemed they still found it somewhat hard to accept.
