Chapter 1345: Priscilla
Nina and Finn were grateful to Penny, Zoren, and Atlas for taking care of them last night. Since they had no recollection of what happened, they simply accepted whatever explanation Atlas provided and didn’t dwell on it.
Besides, Nina had been staying at Penny’s place since the incident, but with Finn’s offer, it was time for her to say goodbye.
The couple had discussed this beforehand and agreed to take a day off after the family meeting. It was a good decision, considering how much they had drunk the night before. They had slept in, and now they could use the day to settle into Finn’s place. He had already handled everything with Nina’s landlord and arranged for her belongings to be moved.
"Finn," Nina called, watching his side profile as he hummed a soft tune.
Finn glanced at her briefly, noticing the curiosity in her eyes. "What is it, Nina?"
"About last night..." she trailed off, biting her lip as she tried to phrase her thoughts. After a shallow sigh, she asked, "Are you really okay with it?"
"Okay with what? You mean my parents?"
"No, I mean you." She clarified. "What I told them last night, how my family acted... I don’t regret it. But I am a little worried. They’re still your family. They’re your parents."
Conversations about Finn’s parents were rare. It wasn’t that he deliberately avoided the subject, but he never seemed particularly interested, often changing the topic. Now that she thought about it, Nina realized that in all the years she had known him, Finn had never openly defied his parents.
Not once.
"Ahh... Haha." Finn smiled subtly, casting her a brief sidelong glance. "I am fine, Nina."
"When I didn’t tell you about that disturbing gift, you reminded me that we promised honesty," she pointed out. "So, if you’re even the slightest bit hurt after last night, I’d understand."
