“Is it out of the way for you to send me back to school? I skipped class today, but the teacher just called. If I don’t go back to participate in the sports day, they’ll call my parents in.”
“It’s not on the way,” Finn refused flatly.
“It’s fine. Asking you to drop me off on the way is just an excuse. I can take a taxi back to school.”
Finn looked at Sarah, who quickly promised, “I won’t give you any trouble.”
Finn did not want to argue with Sarah at the moment, so he nodded. “Okay.”
Sarah almost jumped up and cheered.
On the contrary, Monica just looked at them and clenched her fists.
“Wait for me. I’ll go pack my things. Aunt, I’m going back to school.” Sarah ran upstairs excitedly.
While Finn was waiting for Sarah in the living room, Ruby looked at her daughter but did not say anything.
She had thought it through. It was not impossible for Sarah to be with Finn.
She and Gary had always regarded Finn highly. Since Monica did not have the fortune to be together with him, there was no way Sarah could not.
Anyway, regarding love, they would never know whether they were suited for each other if they never tried.
Gary went downstairs to the hall and said to Monica, “It’s getting late. Why don’t you leave with Finn too?”
“I’m back to celebrate my mother’s birthday, and it’s only past two in the afternoon! Where do you want me to go?”
“I don’t care where you go! You’re an adult now. Are you going to disturb your mom and me from having time together alone? Can’t you read the room?”
Monica wondered who it was that made her come back.
She rolled her eyes. “Alright, enjoy your time together, you two. Try your best to give me a younger brother.”
“Monica.” Gary’s tone sounded somewhat reproachful.
Ruby blushed as well.
Fortunately, Monica’s phone suddenly rang at that moment. To avoid being scolded, Monica picked up the call without even looking at the caller ID. “Hello.”
“Monica, are you at your parents’ house?” Michael’s voice sounded from the phone.
“Oh, yes.” Monica glanced at Finn, who had been acting indifferently since the beginning.
“I’m outside your parents’ house.”
“What are you doing here?” Monica was a little nervous.
“Don’t get excited. I just bought a birthday present for your mother. I won’t go in, but you can come out and get it.”
“No need. My mom isn’t 10 years old or something,” Monica rejected instinctively.
“It’s a small token of my appreciation, and it’s not a very expensive thing. I just thought auntie might need it,” Michael persuaded.
