She watched as he walked out of the elevator somewhat tiredly. He did not show any indication that he overheard what she said. In fact, he acted as if he did not see her as he walked past her to the door, and unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
He even closed the door behind him.
Monica felt as empty as air.
“Monica.” Jeanne called her from the other end.
Monica came back to her senses after a long while. “Oh, I’m here. I’m here.”
“What’s wrong?”

“Finn’s back. I was startled.” Monica calmed her breathing.
“Did he hear everything you said?” Jeanne asked.
“He probably heard it…?” Monica replied. It was impossible for her to not hear it when she said it so loudly.
“But he didn’t care. Let me tell you, Jeanne. Finn Jones is a particularly cold-blooded person. I don’t think he has any emotions or desires. Didn’t he confess to me that day that he wanted to start over with me? I cried so much. Then he acted as if nothing happened and he went straight to his room. The next day, he was able to return to work on time. “I originally thought that it would be awkward for the two of them to face each other, but he didn’t react at all.”
Jeanne could actually imagine Dr. Finn’s attitude towards Monica after being rejected.
Monica continued, “Sometimes, I wonder how Finn grew up. Are orphans born with less feelings compared to normal children?”
“Most orphans are more introverted and less confident. It’s because they didn’t receive love when they were young, so they grow up feeling they don’t need love. Since you’ve rejected him, he sealed himself which makes one think that he doesn’t care at all.” Jeanne said.
“Are you studying psychology? You speak so eloquently on the topic.” Monica frowned.
“I’m just saying.” Jeanne smiled.
“You tricked me!” Monica was angry.
“Marriage is not a child’s game, Monica. Think about it carefully.”
“There’s no need to think about it.” Monica said. “Let’s not talk about it. I feel much better now that I’ve vented my anger. Tomorrow, I need to argue with my dad. I’m hanging up now.”
“Alright, talk later.” Jeanne replied.
Jeanne did not have the ability to predict the future. She knew that Micheal Ross was a complicated man, but it does not mean that he doesn’t love Monica. Although she felt that Dr. Finn loved Monica very much, she could not guarantee that he was as simple a man as she thought.
She always felt that those who were related or close to Edward Swan were no ordinary person.
