Chapter 205 A Good Boy
He initially thought that Bruce had come to his senses and would no longer insist on the three-month
agreement with Bernice.
Finnegan was somewhat surprised that he still had to abide by it.
Bernice explained, “Grandpa thinks you’re good, but the agreement was made in front of all the
Zimmerman family members. My grandma, however, has never had a positive opinion of you and is
adamant about the agreement. To silence her, my grandpa said the agreement must continue.”
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan asked, “Did your grandpa say what would happen if you couldn’t fulfill
it?”
Bernice replied, “He didn’t mention that. But considering he called to tell me this, I think he won’t insist
when the time comes. At most, my grandma and the like will cause a fuss.”
He won’t insist?
Finnegan sneered inwardly, having already figured out Bruce’s thoughts.
Bruce saw his potential but couldn’t bear to give up Liam’s influential background.
He was weighing the pros and cons before making a decision.
Regardless of whom he chose in the end, it would benefit the Zimmerman family.
However, Bernice was currently happy, and Finnegan didn’t want to spoil it for her. “Darling, it seems
ou situation is heading in a positive direction.”
“I was thinking the same. So, do you miss me?” Bernice shyly asked.
“Of course, I do,” Finnegan said with a smile. “I’m even considering whether we should move out and
liv together.”
Bernice scolded, “You naughty thing. I won’t say more. We’ll talk when I have time.”
After that, Bernice ended the call.
Finnegan nonchalantly put down his phone. “Old Mr. Zimmerman’s vision is still lacking. He’s too
cunning. It seems I’ll have to get married after things stabilize, or at least register our marriage. It’s just
He recalled Millicent.
Finnegan rubbed his chin. “That old lady should be Old Mr. Zimmerman’s second wife. How come
Bernice and her dad don’t seem to know about it? Bishop is a man destined to only have a daughter.
Where did his son, Timothy, come from? It seems I need to help my wife eliminate these complicatio
some point!”
t was almost evening.
Not long after Zephyr gave Finnegan a call, he drove his Bentley, with a license plate bearing five sixe
Jerome Medical Clinic. Felix had already reserved a place for their gathering.

Thinking about Jerome’s earlier request, Finnegan called out, “Yuliana, come with me to a party.
She looked a bit panicked. “I’d rather not. I’ll sweep the floor and read my books.”
She hadn’t had normal contact with people for two years, and now she was reluctant to interact with
strangers other than those she knew well.
Finnegan walked over and forcibly took Yuliana into the car. “The construction crew will take care of the
waste. Tonight, I’ll introduce you to some friends.”
“Finnegan. I really can’t do it.”
“Can we not argue about this? Just listen to me tonight!
As Zephyr observed Finnegan forcing Yuliana into the car, he couldn’t help but admire the former.
No wonder Grandpa wants to gift Wynter to him. He’s amazing!
He also hurriedly got into the car and stepped on the gas.
Yuliana blushed and asked, “If I go with you, can you let go of me?”
Seemingly afraid she would run away, Finnegan tightly held her hand, their fingers interlaced.
Finnegan smiled and released her hand. “That’s better.””
Yuliana blushed even more, “I’m not a child. Don’t talk to me like that.”
“Okay. Be obedient, and I won’t say anything.”
After more than half an hour, Zephyr drove the car to a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city.
Finnegan glanced outside and was surprised. “How did we end up
here?”
They were at Bennett Farmhouse.
He had visited this place with Stephen and the like previously. This place was owned by Nancy’s family,
and she was Rhiannon’s classmate.
Finnegan still remembered that somewhat strange Bennett Sanchez.
Only fourteen years older than Nancy, he falsified his age and identity to play the role of her father.
Zephyr thought that Finnegan might find this place a bit low-end and quickly explained, “Don’t judge t
place by its appearance, Dr. Larkin. Don’t judge it by its appearance. The taste here is exceptional.
Reservations are needed even on regular days and holidays, while status doesn’t work.”
Stephen had mentioned this before.
Finnegan was too lazy to explain that he had been here. “It’s quite nice. The serene surrounding is perf
for gatherings and chats.”
“Okay. Dr. Larkin, you can get out now. ‘m leaving.”

Finnegan asked, “Aren’t you coming with us?”
Scratching his head in embarrassinent. Zephyr said, “You guys are too serious, and I feel out of place.
If you need a ride, just find me. They should be arriving soon. Just head in!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Hearing this, Finnegan didn’t insist. He knew that Zephyr preferred lively and bustling settings.
“Okay, go ahead.”
With Yuliana, Finnegan got out of the car and headed inside.
Noticing that Yuliana was a bit nervous, Finnegan said. Although Mr. Miles and Mr. Haimowitz come
from extraordinary backgrounds, they don’t have any bad habits and are quite easy to get along with.
Besides, I’m here, so you have nothing to fear! Besides, you can’t possibly spend your entire life in the
clinic, right? You’ll have to go out at some point, won’t you?”
Unexpectedly, Yuliana blurted out, “As long as you don’t kick me out, I’ll stay at Jerome Medical Clinic
forever.”
Finnegan gave a wry smile and naturally took Yuliana’s hand. “Don’t talk nonsense,” he said. “I’m going
to introduce you to someone. She’s my sister’s classmate and has a really nice personality.”
As Finnegan was about to take Yuliana to greet Nancy, a car horn suddenly sounded behind them,
approaching them swiftly.
Finnegan pulled Yuliana to the side of the road as a BMW whizzed past them without showing any
signs slowing down.
The car had only traveled about ten meters before it came to a stop. Out stepped a woman, heavily
mad up and flamboyantly dressed, along with a young man in casual attire.
Finnegan raised an eyebrow. “Need an apology?”
However, Yuliana suddenly gripped his hand tightly, her nails digging into his flesh.
Feeling the pain, Finnegan asked, “What’s wrong, Yuliana?”
Yuliana bit her lip, eyes filled with resentment. “My parents were killed by them!”
The man was Jared Webb, her first love with whom she had been in a relationship for three years. The
woman was Sallie Lanier, her best friend in college.
Yet, the two were secretly dating, and she caught them red-handed.
She collapsed on the spot.
To console her, her parents took her to the tribal village for a vacation, leading to the subsequent trag
So, her parents’ death and her two years of madness were indirectly caused by the affair between Jare
Sallie.
If not for their betrayal, there would not be any trip to the tribal village.
Finnegan furrowed his brows. He had no idea Yuliana suffered a double blow from her most trusted

boyfriend and best friend before the incident.
“Oh, isn’t this the lofty campus belle Yuliana?”
Jared and Sallie had also approached by now. Recognizing Yuliana, Sallie sneered, “I heard your
parents died after Jared dumped you, and you went crazy. Why do you look fine now?”
The usually gentle and elegant Yuliana suddenly became agitated. She howled, “Get lost! I don’t want
to see you two shameless creatures!”
Seeing Yuliana angry, Sallie seemed even more pleased
Clinging to Jared’s arm, she mocked, “Why are you so angry? Didn’t Jared pick me because you were
pretending to be all high and mighty? Who can you blame?”.
