Maura Shawn clenched her teeth, eyes turning red. She knew her mother was right. Indeed, Finn Chen had no future, and rationally, she should have left Finn long ago.
But every time she thought of Finn’s doting eyes, Maura’s heart couldn’t be tough.
Sure, that man was not promising, but he would cook porridge for her because of her casual word to complain about her stomachache. He had been such kind to her for three years, without exception.
That man was not capable, but he would send or pick her up every day, no matter if it was windy or rainy. He had been such considerate to her for three years, without exception.
In three years, this man had done too much for her.
Unconsciously, tears dropped from her eyes.
“Maura, have you...have you fallen in love with Finn?” Leah was shocked by the tears. Was that her graceful girl, with a pride of the peacock?
Maura didn’t speak but was in tears.
She didn’t know what to do.
Looking at Maura crying, Leah felt complicated. She never expected this. She had been strongly opposed to Maura and Finn’s marriage, but Grant Shawn was stubborn.
Leah knew her daughter well, who kept more self-pride than younger Leah. Leah had been confident enough in Maura not to love such a good-for-nothing as Finn. As long as to wait for two or three years, Maura would have known Finn’s nature, and then leave Finn without others’ persuasion.
But now, Leah had a heave slap in her face.
Her daughter didn’t leave the coward but seemed to fall in love with him!
“Maura, I know Finn’s kind to you, but you should understand that since you two decide to live together for all your life, except being considerate, there are many matters needing consideration. With your conditions, you are bound to be treated well by a gentleman from a powerful family.”
“Mom, stop talking. I trust Finn.” Leah was going to persuade but was interrupted.
Maura had made up her mind. No matter how useless that man was, she would never leave. This was her destiny!
“No, Maura, you’ll regret it...” Leah sighed. She knew from Maura’s expression that it was useless to say more.
Regret? No, no! I’ll never make you regret it!
Outside the door, Finn clenched his fist.
I trust Finn.
He had been waiting for this word for three years!
Maura, thank you. Even if the world made you regret, I, Finn, would never make you regret!
Finn turned around and then strode away. From now on, he had another task, to make Maura the happiest woman in the world!
He wanted to show Leah that a coward could also give his beloved woman happiness!
“Young master, do you have time now?” As soon as Finn left the hospital, he received a call from Jones Chen.
