A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 291 Suffer A Double Loss

All along, Finnegan knew something was amiss.

That was why, after arriving at the Zimmerman residence, Finnegan was constantly on guard around Millicent and her group. Therefore, when they offered him a toast, he deliberately agreed, using it as an excuse to drink more/

Finnegan reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.

The sudden brightness made Queenie blush deeply, and she quickly shielded herself with one hand.

A playful smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Since you already know, why aren’t you hurrying down? You should be aware that even if you sit on me now, it’s pointless. I won’t mistake my drunkenness for having slept with you!”

Instead, it would result in the needless sacrifice of her body.
