"But why do I feel there no affection between Finnley and her?" Jennifer sat down beside her. "Do you think there might be some kind of misunderstanding?”
Mya believed what Finnley had said, but she was too young to understand it.
"Mya, this is an era of freedom of marriage," Jennifer held her shoulder, "Parents can't control the life of their child. If you like each other, you should work for a future together.”
This reminded Mya of Jennifer and Ivan. There had been Catherine and Aubree between them but they went through all the hardships together anyway.
Downstairs, in the cafe near the Marsh Group.
Since it was still working hours, there were not many customers.
Linda and Eloise sat across the table, and Linda guessed who Eloise was, "Are you Finnley's fiancée?”
"How do you know?" Eloise looked into her eyes.
"Finnley has mentioned you," Linda said with a smile. “I’ve finally got to meet you in person.”
"Finnley has mentioned me to you?" Eloise was surprised and delighted. "What did he say?”
Linda seemed to be having everything under control. She gently stirred her coffee with a silver spoon. "He said his fiancée was young and beautiful.”
Eloise didn't believe her. "What is with the Mya girl?”
"Everyone knows that Mya has been coveting Finnley and that she has been staying at his place," Linda complained, "She is the daughter of the mayor and Finnley dares not offend her father. He couldn’t drive her out and as time went by, he doesn’t seem to hate her as much as before. They come and get off work together and have meals together. You know men, their hearts melt easily.”
Eloise listened to her words and was unhappy.
She was sure that Finnley didn't like her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disappeared for half a year.
But this Mya girl was really annoying.
