A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 142 Thoughtful Of Him

Given Mandy’s status and position, she would never casually visit a neighbor like an ordinary person, much less get acquainted with a common housewife like Quiana.

Yet, she had done just that.

Naturally, Finnegan wanted to understand if Mandy harbored any ulterior motives.

Mandy’s eyes darted nervously as she didn’t dare to meet Finnegan’s gaze.

Her goal was simple. Following Howard’s instruction, she needed to do everything in her power to become Finnegan’s significant other.

However, as she couldn’t find any opportunity to interact with Finnegan, she had no choice but to touch with him indirectly through Quiana.

Finnegan narrowed his eyes. “If you can’t explain yourself, I’d prefer if you don’t show up in front of me or my parents in the future, Ms. Langdon.”

“I’ll tell you!” Afraid of offending him, Mandy quickly came up with an excuse. “It’s my grandpa’s idea.”

Finnegan asked, “Your grandpa?”

But because I’m afraid of disturbing you, I can only come to chat with Mrs. Larkin occasionally.”

After finishing uttering the response in one go, Mandy grew anxious, fearing Finnegan might realize she wasn’t being entirely truthful.

Finnegan sensed she was holding back information.

Nevertheless, knowing she bore.no ill will, he didn’t press further.

Finnegan looked into the distance.

“I noticed there are always people patrolling around Dragon Bay’s No. 1 Villa. Did you make the arrangement?”

Mandy replied, “Grandpa was worried someone might target your family, so he had me assigned our men to protect all of you secretly.”
