A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 160 Because You Are Not Worthy

After giving Mandy a brief lesson, Finnegan arranged for Doom Star to settle down before heading home.

As soon as he stepped into the hallway, he sensed that something was amiss.

Desmond and Quiana sat there, not watching television, not uttering a word.

Seeing his return, Quiana pointed to the couch opposite her. “Finny, come over here!”

What’s happening?

Seeing his parents so serious was a rare sight, which suddenly made Finnegan feel a bit flustered. As these thoughts crossed his mind, he walked over and sat down, asking, “Mom, what’s wrong?” “You didn’t come home last night. Were you staying at the hotel with Josie?”

Upon hearing that, Finnegan understood. It must have been Jenna who called and spoke to Quiana.

He explained right away, “Mom, after dinner at Mdm. Dickson’s house last night, Josephine and I took a walk. Then, because it got too late-”

“No need for explanations,” interrupted Quiana directly. “Mdm. Dickson called this morning. She has no objections to your relationship with Josie, and your father and I feel the same way. Set a date and get engaged to Josie. You two have grown up together. You know each other inside out, and you’re a perfect match.”

Desmond nodded. “Josie is someone your mother and I have watched grow up. We both really like her, so let’s consider it settled.”

The corners of Finnegan’s mouth twitched.

He hadn’t said a word, yet his parents had already made all the decisions for him.

At the same time, he was somewhat confused. “Mom, Dad, didn’t Mdm. Dickson say anything else?”

Under normal circumstances, if Josephine went back this morning, she should have explained last night’s events to Jenna, including the fact that he was now dating Bernice.

It seemed that Jenna made a phone call to Desmond and Quiana, apparently discussing matters related to a wedding.

Quiana said, “Mdm, Dickson can’t wait for you to become her son-in-law. What could she possibly say?”

Clearly, Josephine didn’t say anything, and Quiana misunderstood his intentions.

It was odd that Josephine didn’t stop Jenna. Finnegan didn’t hide it anymore. “Mom, Dad, my relationship with Josephine is purely platonic. I only see her as my sister. We can’t be together. I won’t hide it from you any longer. I’ve had a girlfriend for quite some time now.”
