Chapter 254: Change In Tide
On their way back, Rory held Liam’s hand. "You were talking to Mr. Fitzgerald for a long time," she said.
Liam looked humble like a student when he was talking. It was odd to see him like that. There aren’t many people Liam would respect to that extent.
Lennon used to be that guy before everything changed.
"Hmpf..." Liam shrugged. "Just stuff..."
"Really?" Rory raised her brows.
She was a little surprised to see Liam holding back details from her. He has been open with her for a while.
But she decided not to probe. He can have his privacy. And she had a feeling that they had a man-to-man talk. Jeremy Fitzgerald is an older businessman, and it is better if he taught a thing or two to Liam. Liam needs good role models in his life. He’s still growing.
She learned a lot from Jerlina Fitzgerald--patience and being a lady. She was so amazing that she wanted to be her shadow and watch her. She had a good heart, evidenced by how soft-spoken and caring she sounded. It’s the tone of voice and the way she conducted herself, even the little mannerisms... she sounded kind, and she is kind.
It made Rory think. How do I sound to others? She didn’t think that she sounds kind though. That could be a safe bet. She needs to grow.
"I got Jerlina Fitzgerald’s private number," Rory smiled. She was very happy about it. It’s not like she is going to call her to ask about her baby’s diet plan or anything. But she was happy she had her number.
