A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 155 I Already Have A Girlfriend

“Do you have feelings for me?” Josephine suddenly asked, her arm tightening around Finnegan.

Finnegan’s l*ps twitched. “Josephine, we–”

“Don’t say we’re like siblings. I just want to know if you have any romantic feelings for me,” Josephine interrupted swiftly, as if she already knew what Finnegan was going to say.

Finnegan tried to change the subject, but when he felt Josephine’s hand gripping his tightly, he knew he couldn’t deceive her.

“Josephine, you pulled me aside earlier this evening because you wanted to ask this question, didn’t you?” Finnegan asked, recalling her hesitation earlier.

Josephine replied, “Yes, I wanted to ask you this at that time. Because… because…”

She hesitated, too embarrassed to say it outright.

Finnegan spoke softly. “How about we stop talking for now?”

This sudden turn of events left Finnegan momentarily confused. He feared that if the conversation continued, he would make a mistake.

Josephine, seemingly afraid that Finnegan might run away, tightened her grip on his hand. “Let me speak! It’s because I like you. I’ve liked you since we were kids, so I want to know, do you like me too?”

Josephine said all of this in one breath, as if she had exhausted all her energy, and then hurriedly buried her head in Finnegan’s chest.

In truth, she didn’t have the courage to speak up at first.

However, tonight’s encounter had left her with much to ponder, especially the presence of other women around Finnegan. There was Alisha, who was charming to the bone, and Bernice, who was as ethereal as a fairy. Considering Finnegan’s current achievements, who knew how many more women would flock to him?

Thus, she feared that if she didn’t express her feelings now, she might never get another chance.

A complex range of emotions surged through Finnegan. “You like me? But weren’t you in a relationship before?”

“I never slept with him. At most, we’ve only held hands. I’m still pure!” Josephine hurriedly explained, thinking that Finnegan might mind her previous relationship. “And I really do like you. I didn’t lie to you. I only started dating that jerk because I thought you wouldn’t come back. He was also good to me, and my mom was urging me to find a boyfriend.”

Having grown up with Josephine since childhood, Finnegan naturally knew that she wasn’t lying.

Though seemingly carefree, she was a person of integrity.

Josephine, that’s not what I meant. I- Finnegan was about to say that he already had a girlfriend, but Josephine turned around and k*ssed him before he could finish. “If you don’t believe me, I can show you
