Chapter 155 I Already Have A Girlfriend
“Do you have feelings for me?” Josephine suddenly asked, her arm tightening around Finnegan.
Finnegan’s l*ps twitched. “Josephine, we–”
“Don’t say we’re like siblings. I just want to know if you have any romantic feelings for me,” Josephine
interrupted swiftly, as if she already knew what Finnegan was going to say.
Finnegan tried to change the subject, but when he felt Josephine’s hand gripping his tightly, he knew
he couldn’t deceive her.
“Josephine, you pulled me aside earlier this evening because you wanted to ask this question, didn’t
you?” Finnegan asked, recalling her hesitation earlier.
Josephine replied, “Yes, I wanted to ask you this at that time. Because… because…”
She hesitated, too embarrassed to say it outright.
Finnegan spoke softly. “How about we stop talking for now?”
This sudden turn of events left Finnegan momentarily confused. He feared that if the conversation
continued, he would make a mistake.
Josephine, seemingly afraid that Finnegan might run away, tightened her grip on his hand. “Let me
speak! It’s because I like you. I’ve liked you since we were kids, so I want to know, do you like me
too?”
Josephine said all of this in one breath, as if she had exhausted all her energy, and then hurriedly
buried her head in Finnegan’s chest.
In truth, she didn’t have the courage to speak up at first.
However, tonight’s encounter had left her with much to ponder, especially the presence of other women
around Finnegan. There was Alisha, who was charming to the bone, and Bernice, who was as ethereal
as a fairy. Considering Finnegan’s current achievements, who knew how many more women would
flock to him?
Thus, she feared that if she didn’t express her feelings now, she might never get another chance.
A complex range of emotions surged through Finnegan. “You like me? But weren’t you in a relationship
before?”
“I never slept with him. At most, we’ve only held hands. I’m still pure!” Josephine hurriedly explained,
thinking that Finnegan might mind her previous relationship. “And I really do like you. I didn’t lie to you.
I only started dating that jerk because I thought you wouldn’t come back. He was also good to me, and
my mom was urging me to find a boyfriend.”
Having grown up with Josephine since childhood, Finnegan naturally knew that she wasn’t lying.
Though seemingly carefree, she was a person of integrity.
Josephine, that’s not what I meant. I- Finnegan was about to say that he already had a girlfriend, but
Josephine turned around and k*ssed him before he could finish. “If you don’t believe me, I can show
you
Anyway, my mom just said on the phone that she doesn’t mind if we live together before marriage.”
Their l*ps met, and Finnegan quickly reacted, pushing Josephine away.
Caught off guard, Josephine tumbled off the bed.
“Finnegan?”
She finally mustered up the courage to confess her feelings, even taking the initiative.
However, Finnegan’s resistance left Josephine feeling bewildered and aggrieved.
Taking a deep breath to calm his raging emotions, Finnegan switched on the bedside lamp.
He turned to Josephine, who was only dressed in her undergarments, her eyes red. “Josephine, I
already have a girlfriend, and her name is Bernice. So I’m sorry, I will always only see you as my
sister!”
Josephine’s delicate b*dy trembled, tears bursting from her eyes. “You’re dating Ms. Zimmerman?”
“That’s right!”
Finnegan didn’t want to ruin their years of friendship, so he decided not to hide anything anymore. He
told Josephine everything about his relationship with Bernice.
In the end, he apologized once again. “I’m sorry!”
He picked up his phone and sl*pped it into his pocket. “You should rest now. I just remembered I have
something to take care of.”
Watching Finnegan leave, Josephine did not stop him.
Only when she heard the sound of the outside door closing did she collapse on the floor and begin to
cry. “Why?”
She had believed that as long as she confessed her feelings and took the initiative, she would naturally
end up with Finnegan, the most suitable person for her.
Unfortunately, the reality now was that Finnegan already had a girlfriend.
Not only that, but the person in question was Bernice, who was considered the most beautiful among
the Four Beauties of Jadeborough. She was also the CEO of Firebird Group.
“Is it just because she’s better than me and comes from a better background?”
Naturally, Finnegan had no idea how distressed Josephine was at this moment.
Stepping out of the hotel, he hailed a taxi. “Take me to 17th Lane, Willowbank Road”
It would take him an hour to get back to Dragon Bay, where he planned to spend the night at the
Wahlstrom family’s small courtyard.
As the taxi pulled away, he couldn’t help but look back. “Josephine wouldn’t tell my parents, would
she?”
Desmond and his wife were to find out, Finnegan didn’t even need to think to know what the outcome
would be.
But it’s not a good time to call and remind Josephine now.” Finnegan sighed, patting his head. “Well, it’s
about time I told my parents about my relationship with Bernie anyway.”
Twenty minutes later, Finnegan stepped into the small courtyard of the Wahlstrom family.
“Hey! Weren’t you going to comfort your childhood sweetheart?” Alisha teased, instructing a few of the
Wahlstrom family’s elite members. Seeing Finnegan suddenly arrive, she waved her hand to dismiss
them.
Finnegan couldn’t be bothered with Alisha’s teasing. “Where’s Doom Star?”
It was clear he appeared frustrated and helpless.
Alisha pouted at how he ignored her teasing. “He’s been in his room the whole time, never once
stepping out. I’ve had to arrange for his meals to be delivered. He’s quite the oddball.”
Upon hearing this, Finnegan walked straight over and knocked on the door of Doom Star’s room.
“It’s me. May I come in?”
Yet, there was no response whatsoever within the room.
Assuming that Doom Star desired some solitude, Finnegan could only shrug and turn away.
“Please come in.”
As Finnegan turned around, the emotionless voice of Doom Star echoed from inside the room.
Finnegan turned and pushed open the door to enter.
The lights inside were off, so he had to rely on the faint light from outside to see Doom Star sitting on
the floor.
Finnegan casually switched on the lights in the room. “How is your recovery progressing?”
“I am at eighty percent.”
Doom Star maintained an expressionless face, not even bothering to open his eyes.
Knowing his temperament, Finnegan sed his physical condition and stated, “You are recovering faster
than
I expected. You should be at ninety percent by tomorrow and fully recovered within three days.”
Doom Star acknowledged his words with a grunt.
This only made Finnegan, who was already bored and eager to chat, even more bored.
With a wry smile, he said, “I won’t disturb you any longer. If you need anything, just call for someone
ourside.
Doom Star did not respond.
With a quiet sig. Finnegan closed the door and left the room.
Alisha laughed and remarked, “It seems you hold a special place in Doom Star’s eyes, as he is at least
willing to speak with you. But I wonder where this guy came from. He is as cold as ice!”
“Does he treat me differently?”
“Don’t you know?” Alisha gave Finnegan a knowing look. “I have tried to strike up a conversation with
him at least fifteen times in the past few days, but he has not responded to me at all. Yet just now, he
responded to you three times.”
Finnegan chuckled. “So I am indeed a bit special.”
However, Finnegan did not really mind.
Stretching his b*dy, he prepared to retire for the night.
“Darling, do you want me to join you in bed?”
With a deliberate playfulness in her voice, Alisha threw out a sentence that would surely ignite desire in
any ordinary man.
But Finnegan had already grown accustomed to Alisha’s quirks. “I am afraid you might drain me
completely. Besides, there is something else I need you to do. Arrange for someone to monitor the This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
hospital where Vilmar and the others are staying. Inform me of the results tomorrow morning, as well
as the attitudes of all parties involved.”
Alisha asked in surprise, “What results?”
However, Finnegan had already entered his room, leaving Alisha infuriated. She huffed in annoyance,
“Sooner or later, I will make you beg me not to come!”
