A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 121 Not Interested

“Stop right there, Finnegan!”

After leaving the courtyard. Finnegan was about to head home.

However, just as he reached the Wright residence’s entrance, Romona caught up to him.

Seeing that, Stephen tactfully said, “See you another time, Finnegan.”

“All right.”

Once Stephen was gone, Romona stormed over to Finnegan.

Staring at Romona, who was dressed in a T-shirt and a pair of tight jeans that made her look as pretty as always, Finnegan said, “Anything I can help you with?”

“What do you think?”

Romona was biting on her lower l*p so hard she nearly broke through the skin.

She knew that she had lost, and she was ready to honor her promise.

It was then Finnegan realized what was going on. “You’re rather trustworthy, but-”

Before he could finish his sentence, his phone rang. It was a call from Bernice.

Finnegan quickly picked up the call and walked to the side. “Miss me, Darling?”

Romona gritted her teeth in resentment, thinking, How dare this jerk ignore me?

“No way! You never call me anyway,” Bernice commented with a huff, though there was no hint of anger in her voice.

Finnegan chuckled. “How can I possibly not miss you? If I’m missing you so much without calling you, then I’m scared that I’ll miss you even more if I hear your voice. Sleep will elude me, and food will taste like wax to me if I miss you so, so much.”

At the side, Romona scoffed and cursed under her breath, “What a douchebag. He only knows how to sweet talk others.”

“Why are you so charming to me every day?” Bernice whined. “Still, I believe you. Let’s have dinner together tonight. I’ve booked a table at Blue Sea Hymn.”

It had been days since he had last seen Bernice, and since he had nothing to do now, Finnegan agreed to it.

“Sure, see you later.”

After ending the call, Finnegan began to walk forward, about to hail a cab so that he did not need to summon Alisha over.

*Finnegan, are you ignoring me?” Romona yelled, realizing Finnegan was about to leave without even telling her anything.
