In the past, John could use Finley's card as much as he wanted without limits. Now, Finley felt it was time to cut back. He didn't want to keep supporting the two freeloaders who had hurt Samantha. Upon hearing this, John immediately grew displeased.

"Finley, how can you treat your grandpa like this? You can take away other things, but my allowance is non-negotiable. I'll make you a deal-I promise not to help Jacob's family anymore. Is it okay?" He has made this promise many times before. Yet, what's the result? Does he not know what he's doing?

Finley decided to stop entertaining John. He quietly continued serving Samantha food while Samantha remained silent about the whole allowance issue.

If she sided with Finley, she'd offend John; if she sided with John, she'd offend Finley.

After thinking it through, she realized the safest course was not to pick sides at all.

After dinner, Finley and Samantha returned home together.

On the way back, Finley asked, "Why didn't you say anything during dinner?"

Samantha smiled. "I didn't know what to say."

"I think you're just not used to having dinner with Grandpa. You seemed pretty tense."

Tense? Not at all. I'm simply not sure what to say.

intertwined her fingers with Finley's, her long hair blowing gently in the wind.

Finley took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "Are you cold?"

"Not at all."

Samantha shook her head. "I'm not scared because I have you by my side. That makes me feel safe."

Samantha thought about it seriously, then leaned her head on his shoulder. "I taught myself."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"You're truly clever."

"Compared to you, it's nothing."

Finley chuckled, his face full of affection as they arrived home.

As soon as they stepped inside, Elias appeared next to Finley.

I went too far with what I said earlier, but you know I've always been one to joke around. Don't be mad anymore, and please tell Ms. Stuart to stop punishing me and my sister." Up until now, Samantha had no idea what had happened between Elias and Finley.

Whatever it was, in her past life, Elias had always treated her well, so she decided to help him out.

Looking at Finley, she said earnestly, "Finley, since Elias knows he was wrong, you should forgive him. Don't stay mad."

Finley frowned. "He hasn't apologized to you yet."

Samantha was clueless.

Apologize to me? Why?

Perplexed, she wondered if this whole situation involved her somehow. She turned to Elias and asked, "Did you do something that wronged me?"

"No. I just ran my mouth and badmouthed about you. Finley has been mad at me ever since."

Samantha raised an eyebrow, curious. "What exactly did you say about me that made him this angry?"
