Chapter 34 You Are A Jerk

Casper’s father died young, leaving his wife, Jenna Dickson, to raise Casper and his elder sister, Josephine, alone.

Back then, Desmond, who still worked as a teacher, supported their family, including giving Casper and Josephine tuition. As a result, both their families grew very close. Even when the Larkin family got into trouble, their relationship wasn’t affected at all.

During the years Finnegan was absent, the adult Casper helped the Larkin family on many

occasions.

It was a fact that Finnegan was extremely grateful for. “Mdm. Dickson, Casper, thank you for taking care of my family all these years. Going forward, feel free to let me know if you need anything. I’ll not hesitate to help!”

Casper patted Finnegan on the shoulder. “There’s no need for such talk. Haven’t our families. been close all these years?”

Jenna replied with a smile. “Exactly. You’re being a stranger by saying such things. Besides, ever since you were a child, you always talked about marrying Josephine when you grow up. We might very well become one family in the future.”

Despite the casual comment, Casper took it seriously and slapped his own thigh in delight. “That would be wonderful! Finnegan and Josephine grew up together, while both our families know each other like the back of our hands. I have no objections whatsoever to Finnegan becoming my brother-in-law. Furthermore, if they were to be married, it will be even easier to care for the elderly of both families!”

Desmond and his wife, who were worried about the Chomsky family seeking revenge on Finnegan, were elated by the idea.

Considering how close the two families were, Finnegan and Josephine’s marriage would be at match made in heaven.

Surprised at how far the conversation had digressed, Finnegan cleared his throat to change the topic. “By the way, Casper, what are you doing now? Why don’t I see Josephine around?”

“My grades weren’t good, so I started work after high school and am currently in the electrical appliances industry.” Casper was clueless about Finnegan’s attempt at changing the topic. “Josephine took half a day off to move her luggage to her rental apartment. After which, she’ll be heading back to work for the afternoon. If you want to see her, I can make arrangements for you. By the way, she’s working at Firebird Group now. We still haven’t thanked you for that.”
