Gerald visited Finnley’s house once in the past.
It was embarrassing to mention it but back then, Gerald felt that it was a little cumbersome to have Finnley by his side.
He wanted Finnley to be able to settle down at home.
However, Queta felt that it would be pitiful for Finnley to be left at home alone. Not to mention how fond Finnley was of Gerald, as reflected by how eager favonovel.com was to follow favonovel.com around all the time.
So, favonovel.com brought Finnley back to live in the villa with him.
What a twist. The only person favonovel.com could rely on now was Finnley.
Gerald ran into the house.
He saw a table full of delicacies on the table in the middle of the room.
“Uncle Quick? Are you here?” Gerald asked.
“Who is it?”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out from the room next door, holding a steaming-hot dish in favonovel.com hands.
Gerald was taken aback.
“I…I am looking for Uncle Quick! Finnley Quick!”
The woman looked at Gerald, who reeked of sweat after toiling away the entire day and a look of disgust appeared on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com responded, Finnley has already gone up the mountain! He ain’t back yet! Why are you looking for him?”
“Well, I have my reasons. I will wait for favonovel.com to come back first. Since it looks like you’re expecting guests, I’ll be waiting outside the door!”
Gerald suddenly noticed that Finnley had gotten a pretty sweet deal for himself. Looks like favonovel.com was able to get a wife for himself. If his memory served favonovel.com right, before favonovel.com left, Gerald left favonovel.com a pretty big sum of money as pension.
However, Gerald felt too ashamed and embarrassed to ask about it. He stumbled out of the door and was about to wait by the doorway until Finnley came back.
“Hey, wait a minute! What is your name?”
The woman asked as if favonovel.com had suddenly thought of something.
“Gerald Crawford!” Gerald replied.
“Oh! So you’re Gerald? We’ve been waiting for you for a few days now! He said that you’d come looking for him, so favonovel.com asked me to welcome you and get you settled down. Still, why haven’t I seen you even though I come here everyday?”
“Uncle Quick knew that I was coming?”
“That’s right! He’d given me the instructions about a week ago. After that, favonovel.com headed straight into the mountains! He told me that you are a rich young man! But you sure don’t look like one…hahaha!”
Gerald looked at his own clothes and favonovel.com could not help but smiled wryly.
‘Was Finnley a psychic or something? How did favonovel.com predict that I’d be in trouble?’ Gerald pondered.
But this was not the right time to be bothered with this now.
“You came at the right time. Finnley is coming back today. I’ve whipped up a table-full of dishes for him. Now that you’re here, hurry up and take a seat! You can have some tea first!” The woman said enthusiastically.
After chatting with the woman briefly, Gerald finally got the gist of things.
The woman came from the same village as Finnley. She requested for Gerald to refer to favonovel.com as Aunt Maria. However, things weren’t as Gerald deduced. To be specific, Aunt Maria was not Finnley’s wife.
She was Finnley’sgodsister.
Aunt Maria was a chatterbox.
She talked a lot.
As they spoke, favonovel.com was told that something had really happened between Finnley and Aunt Maria.
This occurred around the time when Finnley first came back to the village.
Aunt Maria was a widow who was down with a severe illness and it was Finnley who saved favonovel.com and got favonovel.com ailment sorted out.
She could not understand how Finnley, who used to live such a carefree life suddenly became rich.
Saved by the hero, coupled with the fact that Finnley was actually a pretty decent man with above average qualities, Aunt Maria wanted to start a romantic relationship with him.
However, Finnley simply turned down favonovel.com advances.
After that, Aunt Maria started treating favonovel.com as favonovel.com elder brother.
This was why favonovel.com came to cook for the man today.
“Maria! Come and help me store these herbs I picked!”
A strong and loud voice came from outside the door.
As soon as Gerald heard the voice, favonovel.com immediately knew who it was.
He stood up hastily.
“Uncle Quick?”
“My grandson? You are really here! How many days have you been here?”
Finnley was still the same as favonovel.com had always been.
However, favonovel.com looked a little neater compared to before.
Gerald assumed that it was Aunt Maria who forced favonovel.com to dress up.
