Chapter 62: Leaving Awkwardly

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Because of Karen James’s provocation, Linda James grew even more dissatisfied with her son-in-law. She felt that her family had encountered so many troubles all because of him.?‘We’re the eldest family in the Larson family, yet we’re about to get kicked out of the family! Isn’t it all because we have a piece of trash that is Finn Taylor who’s dragging us down?’

“Mom, can you be more rational? Do you really not know how much Finn Taylor has done for our family? Don’t waver just because Auntie is saying some things.”

Linda James panted heavily; it seemed like she was truly infuriated.

“Yvette, stop it. Look at how angry your mom is.”

Yvette Larson wanted to calm her mom down but was lectured by her father before she could even do so.

“She’s trying to drive me to my grave. I’m going to die.”

Yvette Larson could no longer stand watching her mom throw her tantrum. “Fine. You can throw your tantrum for all I care. Finn, let’s go.”

Yvette Larson picked up her spouse’s hand and dragged him out of the house.

She took a few steps before turning back to Karen James. “Auntie, you can continue sowing even more discord. My mom has no money, so you’d better not think of borrowing any money now that you’ve chased us both away.”

With that, Yvette Larson picked up her husband’s hand once again and headed out.

This time, neither of them spared the rest a glance.

Because of Yvette Larson’s words, Karen James was panicking inwardly.?‘I had said so much simply because I wanted Finn Taylor to take responsibility for the accident that my son caused. I never expected my niece to leave the house! What if they never ever come back? What will happen to our debts?’

“Sister, how can you let Yvette leave? She’s a young lady. Aren’t you afraid that others will gossip because she’s staying out with a man?”

Francis Larson harrumphed. “Gossip? They’re husband and wife.”

“But…”

“But what? Do you mean that couples should live separately?” Francis Larson’s principle was that it was fine for others to criticize Finn Taylor, but he would never let anyone speak ill of his daughter.

The words Yvette Larson said before she left had been crucial.

Suddenly, Linda James seemed to return from her trance.?‘Could it be that Karen James had said so much just to borrow money from us?’?

Now that her sister had even said such a thing, Linda James suddenly came to a realization.?‘My sister has fooled me! She had said all those things just to borrow money from me. This… I even got into a huge fight with my daughter because of Karen James! However, there’s no way I’m going to beg my daughter to come home.’

“Sister, you’d better go out now! They haven’t gone far; ask them to come back. This is a family matter, so it’d be embarrassing if we can’t resolve it and word gets out about it.”

Linda James appeared to be furious. “No, I’m not going. I’m her mom. Does she think she’s my mom? She’ll have to come back and beg me. Forget it; I don’t want to talk about it. I’m too angry. I’m going to take a nap.”

With that, Linda James headed straight for her room.

At that moment, Karen James’s family was dumbfounded. They had come all the way here with a hidden agenda—to borrow money. However, they had never expected it to be way out of the question now.

“What should we do?”

“How am I supposed to know?”

“Why don’t you know what to do? It’s only because of you that we’re in this situation now.”

“Did I want this to happen? It’s our son who drove into someone.”

“Why is it my fault?”

“Why is it not your fault?”

…

Feeling the warmth from Yvette Larson’s dainty hand, Finn Taylor’s heart leaped with joy.

His wife then brought him to a hotel.

“Hello, how many rooms would you like?”

“Two-one room.” Yvette Larson initially wanted to ask for two rooms, but she thought about their relationship again. In the end, she decided on a single room.

“Alright. Please hand me your identity cards so that I can conduct verification.”

The couple was stunned when they heard the receptionist. Neither of them had brought their identity cards.

Who would bring them wherever they go?

“Er… We forgot to bring them. Can we just pay a higher price?” Yvette Larson tried to bribe the receptionist.

But that receptionist wasn’t buying it. “I’m sorry; we’re a legitimate hotel.”

‘F*ck!’?If not for her husband holding her back, Yvette Larson would’ve gotten into a fight with the receptionist. To her, it sounded as though this receptionist was mocking her.

In the end, the couple was left with no other choice and could only leave the hotel.

“Sigh. How nice would it be if we had our own house.”

Finn Taylor turned to look at his wife seriously. He then spoke up as though he was talking to her but also as though he was muttering to himself. “We will. We will.”

Although Yvette Larson had heard his words, she didn’t take them to heart. “Forget it. Let’s go home.”

Along the way home, Finn Taylor glanced toward Pacific Heights.?‘Actually, I have already purchased one of San Francisco’s most luxurious villas on the peak of Pacific Heights. It’s worth more than 20 million, and it’s currently under renovation. After the renovations are done, I’ll move in with my wife. Then, we will no longer have to live with my father-in-law or mother-in-law. That would also mean that there will be much less conflict.’

When the couple arrived home, they stopped in their tracks.?‘How… How are we supposed to enter? It feels a little awkward.’

Eventually, Finn Taylor instructed his spouse to wait outside. Then, he pushed the door open and walked in.

At this time, Karen James’s family had just finished arguing with each other and were now sitting on the sofa without talking to each other.

Their faces were all down, but all three of them were surprised by Finn Taylor’s arrival.

Karen James was about to speak when Finn Taylor spoke up. “It’s rare that Auntie has made the trip here. As hosts, it’s best that we bring you out for a meal. Yvette and I just made reservations.”

Karen James had intended to lecture the other, but she swallowed her words when she heard him say that. She was afraid that not only would she not get to have this meal, but she would also be unable to borrow any money if she were to go overboard with her words.

‘Since Finn Taylor is willing to treat me to a meal, this means that his heart toward me has already softened. I had better keep my mouth shut for now.’

“Alright. I’ll go get my sister.” With that, she rushed upstairs to get Linda James and Francis Larson.

Weston Shaw and Larry Shaw were both terrified of Finn Taylor, so they didn’t dare to utter a word.

Very quickly, Linda James rushed down. “What? Going out for a meal? How much will that cost? Why can’t we have a meal at home?”

Karen James stopped her sister. “Look at what you’re saying. Just accept your children’s filial piety. Look at how outstanding Yvette is. She’s a CEO, and she’s nothing like my son—your nephew—who knows nothing. We’ll have to rely on Yvette to look out for him in the future.”

With that, she pulled her sister toward the door.
