"Fiona, Aunt Julie's been caught up in a whirlwind with some reality show lately, so she might not have much time to spend with you," Cecelia said with a chuckle. "Oh, and speaking of the show, there's this super handsome guy who's just joined us. He's a new star and all the rage. Even I felt a little flutter seeing him! Want me to snag his autograph for you? You could totally flaunt it to your friends."
Henrik couldn't take it anymore, his expression turning stern as he uttered her name slowly: "Fi-o-na Rey-nolds."
Cecelia suddenly realized Henrik was still in the room. "Oh, just kidding, sweetheart! You've got to take good care of Fiona, make sure she doesn't feel left out. Oh, someone's at the door, gotta run!"
And with that, Cecelia quickly ended the call.
Henrik stared at his phone, caught between frustration and resignation. That woman...
"Uncle, how about I book you a flight for early tomorrow?" Fiona suggested, already scrolling through her phone for flights. Henrik felt a bit downcast, with his wife barely acknowledging him and his niece seemingly eager for him to leave. "Ungrateful kid, can't wait to see me go, can you?"
"I'm doing this for your and Aunt Julie's relationship, making the noble sacrifice of letting you go!" Fiona declared, feigning seriousness.
Henrik could only shake his head, dropping Fiona off at her apartment and handing her a card. "There's fifty million on this card. Use it as you need, and I'll keep it topped up. If you ever run short, just let me know."
"Thank you, Uncle!" Fiona said, accepting the card and giving Henrik a huge hug.
No need to thank me. After all, it was Connor's card.
