A Healer’s Journey

After having lunch at Mandy’s, Finnegan leisurely strolled back to Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa. I wonder how my wife is feeling.

Upon learning from the housekeeper that Bernice was at the beach, he went straight to the beach. There, he saw Bernice lounging on a beach chair with sunglasses on, enjoying the sea breeze.

Bernice took off her sunglasses and stretched out her hands.

“You seem so peaceful and relaxed. A good sleep really did wonders for you.” Finnegan walked over and laid down next to her, unabashedly wrapping, his arms around her.

Bernice rolled her eyes. “Trying to take advantage again?”

Chuckling, Finnegan said. “You’re my fiancée. This can only be considered an intimate act to strengthen our bond as a couple, not taking advantage.”

“You’re such a smooth talker.” Bernice hummed but honestly rested her head on Finnegan’s shoulder. “But what do you think about me moving in with you? I called my mom this morning and told her I’ve been staying at your place these past few days. She even said it’s okay if I don’t go back.”

She paused for a moment, her hand pinching Finnegan’s waist. “She even said it would be best if we had a child together. So, have you been talking behind my back with my mom?”

Finnegan winced in pain. “Are you trying to murder your own husband?”

“Screw you. What are you talking about?” Bernice quickly glanced around, and seeing no one, her cheeks flushed red as she pinched Finnegan once again.

With a grin, Finnegan knew that Bernice’s mood had improved.

He then held her a little tighter and said, “I didn’t actually say anything to your mom. She must be longing to hold her grandchild. So, you should move in with us. We can’t let our parents down!”

Bernice huffed. “Dream on! Don’t even think about it before we’re married.”

“Darling, but that’s not what you said at the beginning.”

“What did I say then?”

With a feigned pitiful expression, Finnegan said, “You initially mentioned that we should at least get engaged, didn’t you? Now that we are engaged, why has it suddenly turned into marriage?”

Bernice indeed remembered saying those words herself.
