A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 286 The Stake Is Still Not Enough

After ending the call, Finnegan didn’t ask Alisha to give him a ride. Instead, he took a taxi to Firebird Group.

When he arrived, it was still working hours, so he decided to wait downstairs.

When it was almost time to get off work, he sent a message to Bernice, saying that he had already arrived at the ground floor of Firebird Group office.

A few minutes after the message was sent. Bernice appeared where he was,

“Finnegan!”

Seeing Bernice come down so quickly, Finnegan was taken aback and walked over. “Darling, do you really miss me that much? Isn’t there still more than ten minutes before you finish work?”

Bernice’s face turned red.

She muttered,

It was clear at a glance that Bernice was lying.

However. Finnegan didn’t expose it. “In that case, are we going with your parents?”

“Tonight, it’s just you and me. My parents won’t be coming.”

Upon hearing this, Finnegan furrowed his brows. “They’re not?”

He had assumed that all members of the Zimmerman family members would be present for the dinner Bruce invited him to that night. Unexpectedly. Patrick and Jennifer decided not to attend.

It felt a bit odd to him, for they were Bernice’s parents after all.

Bernice said, “Grandma called to say that the purpose of tonight’s dinner is to apologize to you, so it would be awkward if my parents went to Uncle Bishop’s house. Plus, my dad has a social engagement tonight. and my mom has plans to go shopping with someone, so it’s just you and me going.”

“Are you worried about causing embarrassment for your uncle’s family?”

With a nod, Bernice said, “Uncle Bishop’s family has always harbored ill intentions toward us. Aunt Sapphire even repeatedly picked fights with my mom Now that they want to apologize to you, perhaps. they don’t want my parents to be present!”
