Chapter 24 Do Not Call Me Darling
As everyone speculated about Finnegan’s identity, the man took Bernice’s hand and strolled out of the restaurant.
When they were about to reach the car, Bernice asked, “Is my hand nice to hold?”
Having gradually grown closer to her, Finnegan quipped with a chuckle, “My girlfriend’s hand is fair and smooth, so it’s naturally nice to hold.”
Bernice flushed bright red and retracted her hand. “I only said that to protect you. You’ve got to work harder if you want me to be your girlfriend.”
She was gentle and enchanting yet had a forceful side to her at times.
While she was from an affluent family, she was not condescending like the typical heiress. Instead, she was very much approachable.
At that very moment, her shy expression was also incredibly adorable.
Finnegan could not help but fall for her. “In other words, I still have a chance of winning you over as long as I work harder?”
Bernice’s eyes flickered imperceptibly. “Didn’t you say that matching family backgrounds is crucial? Can you overcome all feelings of inferiority and pursue me without bothering about others’ criticisms?”
“Why can’t I pursue you if I have the confidence to close the gap between us?”
Considering his medical skills and the connections he had built in the past few years, Finnegan believed that he could totally be on par with the Zimmerman family, given sufficient time.
Nonetheless, a question then popped into his mind. “But you’re not giving me a chance because I once saved you, right?” If it were a relationship that stemmed from gratitude, he would not pursue her, even if he had some feelings for her.
Blinking, Bernice replied, “I’m not the kind of person who’d give myself up for a debt of gratitude. It’s just that I don’t hate it if you want to pursue me, and I can give you a chance. So, do you want to try and conquer me?”
She herself was surprised when she said such words. In the past, she felt that it was brazen for a girl to act in such a manner.
However, she was willing to voluntarily take the first step since it was Finnegan.

Finnegan’s eyes lit up. “Yes. I’ll definitely conquer you and have you beg for mercy on the balcony, in the bathroom, and on the floorboards.
Bernice said nothing, lost for a moment.
The instant she perceived his meaning, her face flamed. Lifting her hand, she smacked the man. “What a rogue! Mrs. Larkin said you’d got excellent grades and character since young But from the look of things now, you’d been faking it in the past.”
