Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 I Will Send Her a Generous Gift

Megan pressed her hand against her cheek and stared at Finneas with teary eyes. On the other hand, Finneas merely hung his head low and gritted his jaw.

Coming to a painful decision, he suddenly slapped himself on the cheek and forced a smile at Selena. “I hope you’re feeling better now, Selena. I’m really sorry. I was too reckless just now, and I am making it up to you by slapping myself. Are you still upset?”

She looked at his smiling face and realized that she had never fully understood Finneas.

In their long-running relationship, he had let her down countless times. Once, he forgot something and left her waiting in the snow for four hours. Another time, he made a careless mistake and wounded her hand, which required a few stitches. There were more similar incidents, but he had never once apologized to her.

To her dismay, he apologized to her without hesitation today under pressure.

However, Pierre merely smirked at Finneas. “What’s with the cash on the floor?”

Finneas lowered his gaze and saw the bills he threw at Selena scattered across the floor. He suddenly bent over and picked up the bills tirelessly, one after another.

Upon witnessing the scene, even Megan herself felt humiliated and wished to leave Finneas in the store. This was the first time she had witnessed him in a position of inferiority.

On the other hand, Pierre put his arm around Selena’s shoulders and watched the drama unfold.

Finneas finished picking up the bills, straightened his back, and handed the money to Selena. “Selena, didn’t you say that these are not enough? How much do you want? I will prepare the amount later.”

Gazing into his ‘sincere’ eyes, she was momentarily speechless. Pierre unexpectedly accepted the stack of bills and said, “Alright.”

Finneas instantly beamed at him, thinking that everything was settled. “In this case—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Pierre slapped the bills back onto his face. “She will get any amount of money she needs from me. She doesn’t need your money.”

The bills hit Finneas on the face, but he bit his lip and smiled widely.

“President Lake, you’re quite resilient. I’m in awe of you. So, alright, we shall consider this issue settled,” Pierre remarked.

After hearing that, Finneas finally let out a huge sigh of relief. His endurance and efforts had not gone to waste. He commented, “We got to know each other better through this misunderstanding. Next time, I shall be the host and treat you to dinner.”

Pierre snickered softly. “That’s unnecessary. By the way, President Lake, you’re getting married soon, aren’t you?”

“Oh, yes! Yes! I totally forgot about this important event.” Finneas hurriedly took out an invitation card from his pocket, which he had prepared early on in case he ran into the president of JNS Corporation. However, he did not know the president’s identity, and therefore, the card was addressed to a generic title.

“Our wedding is set for next month. So do join us on the date!” Finneas politely handed Pierre the invitation with both hands, which Pierre accepted, much to Finneas’s relief.

As long as he attends my wedding, we will have ample opportunities to work together in the future.

A staff of Forever Gown showed up on the first floor with Megan’s tailored wedding gown. “Miss Yard, your gown is ready. Do you need help to bring it into the car?”

“Sure.” Once again, Megan reverted to her arrogant attitude.

The staff lifted the gown into the car. After that, Finneas left with Megan.
