"I think so too," Finn said obediently.
Jay said, "I’m here today to ask you for a favor."
Finn panicked and uttered, "Foster Father, my life is yours and your wish is my command. I owe you more than one favor."
Jay said, "This may come across as a little rude. However, I have to ask you for this favor, for Angeline and Baby Zetty."
Finn knelt beside Jay and said, "When you rescued me from the orphanage, you were still so young. To take care of us, you became a dad and took care of us as if w e were your own. I owe you everything that I have today. Please, anything that I can do to help, just tell m e."
Jay pulled Finn up and said, "I hope that you and Tammy will cancel the wedding."
Finn was stunned, but then he smiled. "You're a considerate man. You’re asking me for this favor to minimize the hurt done to Baby Zetty."
Jay said, "This matter is not for you to decide alone. I hope that you can explain the situation to Tammy. The Ares family is willing to compensate her. Of course, I also believe that Baby Zetty will surely move o
n from her broken heart one day. I promise a grand wedding for both of you then."
Finn said, "Foster Father, don't worry. I'll explain this t o Tammy."
Jay stood up and said goodbye. "I'm sorry."
Finn said, "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to reduce the harm done to Baby Zetty..."
Jay stared into Finn's eyes. He noticed that every time Finn mentioned Baby Zetty, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
It was obvious that Finn liked Baby Zetty.
The problem was that Finn could not tell whether his affection for Baby Zetty was a familial one or if it was love.
In the evening, Tammy returned to the villa.
