A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 193 Consider This Meal As An Engagement

In the evening. Finnegan, along with his entire family and Bernice, arrived at the Zimmerman residence’s garden.

Patrick and Jennifer were already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Desmond and Quiana, the couple greeted them warmly, “We’ve known each other for several years now, but this is our first time having a meal together. Please, come in!”

Originally, Desmond and Quiana were a bit nervous.

However, seeing Patrick’s and Jennifer’s attitude, the two of them feel much more relaxed. “Please, no need to be so formal.”

Patrick said with a smile, “That’s right, we’re almost in-laws now. There’s really no need for formalities. Let’s go.

Jennifer, however, was a bit behind.

She said to Finnegan, “Finnegan, you go ahead with your parents. I need to discuss something with

Bernie.”

Nodding, Finnegan beckoned Rhiannon to follow him inside.

Bernice asked, “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Jennifer sighed lightly, “Your grandmother somehow found out that we’re having dinner with Finnegan’s parents tonight to discuss the engagement. She called a short while ago, very angry, saying that you can’t get engaged to Finnegan, that he’s not worthy of you. She also said that since your agreement with your grandfather didn’t work out, you shouldn’t even think about going through with this. Your father and I are somewhat at a loss. We want to know your perspective. Is tonight just a casual discussion, or are we finalizing things?”

Bernice furrowed her brows. “Didn’t you and my dad tell my grandparents about Finnegan? Finnegan is competent.”

Jennifer replied, “We’ve relayed everything you told us. For instance, the Miles family lent Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa to Finnegan’s family for temporary residence. We also mentioned the connections between Finnegan, the Haimowitz family, and even the Langdon family. However, your grandmother won’t listen. She says they are merely his acquaintances and that Finnegan himself is still not up to par!”

As Bernice thought about her grandmother, of course she was aware her grandmother preferred Liam.

Thus, she said, “Mom, you should tell Grandma and Grandpa that Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa wasn’t lent to Finnegan’s family. It was given to Finnegan by the Miles family. Finnegan only said it was borrowed because he was worried about his parents overthinking! Moreover, Finnegan’s relationships with the Haimowitz, Langdon, and Wahlstrom families are not just superficial. Even if they were merely acquaintances, doesn’t that still prove Finnegan’s capabilities? If not, then why, out of tens of millions of people in Jadeborough, can only Finnegan make these families owe him a favor?”

Jennifer’s eyes widened. “What? Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa wasn’t lent out but was given to Finnegan by the Miles family?”
