Chapter 70 Ten Years After Cindy changed her clothes, Bernice dragged her and Finnegan to Kathleen Mall.
Finnegar asked, âAre we going to buy your grandpa a birthday gift?â
Kathleen Mall was a gift from Gilbert to Kathleen for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. He even invested ten billion in the land. It was one of the largest malls in Jadeborough.
As long as one had money, one could buy every luxurious good under the sun there.
Bernice answered, âIâm helping you buy a present for Grandpa and getting a new set of clothes for you.â
Even though Finnegan had said he would prepare a perfect present, Bernice couldnât help but worry when she saw that he was empty-handed. His clothes were also too ordinary for a birthday banquet.
A look of contempt crossed Cindyâs face.
Finnegan feigned ignorance and chuckled. âIâve already prepared your grandpaâs birthday present, so you donât have to worry. As for my clothes, I think itâs fine as long as theyâre comfortable to wear.â
Bernice pouted. âFinnegan!â
Finnegan cleared his throat and reached for her hand. âAll right, Iâll listen to you and buy myself new attire, but you really donât have to buy another present because Iâve already prepared it.â
âNow, thatâs more like it. Letâs go!â
Bernice clung to Finneganâs arm unabashedly, not minding Cindy, who was walking beside her.
She had told her best friend, Cindy, about a lot of things, so she wasnât scared to be affectionate with Finnegan in front of her.
However, watching the two interact, Cindy had a different thought. It looks like Iâll have to come up with a plan to tip Bernie off about Finnegan being a womanizer.
The minute the trio entered the mall, Bernice instantly dragged Finnegan to the menâs clothing section.
All of them were branded menâs clothing. Any one of them was worth tens of thousands.
Chapter 70 Ten Years Bernice chose a set of black attire for him. Try this on, Finnegan.â
Finnegan took the attire and went to the changing room, lest Bernice feel unhappy.
After watching Finnegan enter the changing room, Bernice turned to Cindy and asked, âCin, what do you think about Finnegan?â
Cindyâs first instinct was to say Finnegan was a terrible choice, but she knew she couldnât say it outright, so she expressed her disagreement in a roundabout way. âHis looks are good. Itâs the type that younger girls will like. As for his character, that isnât something I can discern just by meeting him once. Iâll need to get to know him for a bit longer. However, I still think what youâre feeling for him isnât love between men and women. It feels more like gratitude. You have to think twice, Bernie!â
Bernice nodded. âCin, it may look like gratitude from your perspective, but Iâm sure my feelings for him arenât just purely gratitude. Iâm also used to him.â
Iâve visited Desmond and Quiana frequently and talked a lot with Rhiannon for five years, so Iâve heard plenty of stories about Finnegan. As time goes on, Iâve gotten used to Finnegan as someone who lives constantly in my mind and heart. When he returned and rescued me, my feelings for him turned to that of love. After meeting and talking to him a few times, Iâm all the more certain about my feelings.
However, Cindy couldnât understand her mindset. She continued to advise, âBernie, youâre the prettiest among the Four Beauties of Jadeborough. I canât even keep count of the number of people pursuing you. One of them-â
âCin, I understand what youâre trying to say, but if I donât feel anything for that pointless even if heâs one of the scions of Loangâs Five Great Families.â
person, itâs Knowing Bernice well, Cindy tactfully stopped talking and decided to switch her target to Finnegan by persuading him to leave Bernice.
âHeâs so handsome!â
âAs expected, clothes make the man. He looks like those male leads in dramas.â
âThose feminine and childlike male celebrities are no match for this handsome man right here. Heâs masculine and good-looking. Heâs completely crushed them.â
âIâll be willing to shorten my lifespan by ten years if heâs my boyfriend.â
After a while, the retail assistants suddenly exclaimed and started commenting like fan girls.
Bernice looked over her shoulder to see Finnegan walking out. D*mn, heâs handsome!
Cindy cast an indifferent glance in his direction and was shocked at the sight.
Chapter 20 Ten Years Finneganâs looks were slightly above average before, the current him had changed completely. He looked like a prince with a regal air with every move he made.
It was as if he was born to be a prince.
How could a set of clothing change the way a person carried themselves so much?
While Cindy was still surprised, Finnegan had walked up to Bernice. âIs this okay. Darling?â
His question snapped Bernice out of her daze. With sparkling eyes, she said, âI didnât realize you had such a handsome side.â Her cheeks blushed as she recalled what Finnegan had called her. âMeanie, weâre in public. Donât call me that,â she chided shyly.
Taking in her shy look, Finnegan suppressed the urge to pinch her adorable cheeks. âHow do I look?â
Bernice nodded. âNot bad. Just keep this on. Excuse me, weâre taking this!â
Cindy had a conflicted expression after she returned to her senses. Finneganâs change and his closeness with Bernice made her uncomfortable.
When the retail assistant approached, Cindy muttered, âYouâre really something. Finnegan, to ask a woman to buy you clothes as a man.â
âWhat are you talking about, Cin?â
Bernice frowned, finally sensing Cindyâs hostility toward Finnegan.
Unconcerned if it brought shame to Finnegan. Cindy continued, âDid I say anything wrong? Weâre attending your grandpaâs birthday banquet, yet he needs you to buy him clothes. Heâs your boyfriend.
Are you planning to treat him like your sugar baby?â
Her remark was an insult to a man.
It was about the same for Finnegan.
He stopped Bernice from standing up for him and narrowed his eyes at Cindy.
Taking out a purple-gold card, he handed it to the retail assistant. âSheâs right, Bernie. You shouldnât be spending money on me today. Iâll pay for my own clothes.â
Berniceâs frown deepened. She glanced at Cindy confusedly and did not stop Finnegan from paying.
She knew Finnegan had money.
Cindy smirked.
