Chapter 198 Consider This Meal As An Engagement

In the evening. Finnegan, along with his entire family and Bernice, arrived at the Zimmerman residence’s garden.

Patrick and Jennifer were already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Desmond and Quiana, the couple greeted them warmly, “We’ve known each other for several years

now, but this is our first time having a meal together. Please, come in!”

Originally, Desmond and Quiana were a bit nervous.

However, seeing Patrick’s and Jennifer’s attitude, the two of them feel much more relaxed. “Please, no need to be

so formal.”

Patrick said with a smile, “That’s right, we’re almost in-laws now. There’s really no need for formalities. Let’s go.

Jennifer, however, was a bit behind.

She said to Finnegan, “Finnegan, you go ahead with your parents. I need to discuss something with

Bernie.”

Nodding, Finnegan beckoned Rhiannon to follow him inside.

Bernice asked, “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Jennifer sighed lightly, “Your grandmother somehow found out that we’re having dinner with Finnegan’s parents

tonight to discuss the engagement. She called a short while ago, very angry, saying that you can’t get engaged to

Finnegan, that he’s not worthy of you. She also said that since your agreement with your grandfather didn’t work

out, you shouldn’t even think about going through with this. Your father and I are somewhat at a loss. We want to

know your perspective. Is tonight just a casual discussion, or are we finalizing things?”

Bernice furrowed her brows. “Didn’t you and my dad tell my grandparents about Finnegan? Finnegan is

competent.”

Jennifer replied, “We’ve relayed everything you told us. For instance, the Miles family lent Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa to

Finnegan’s family for temporary residence. We also mentioned the connections between Finnegan, the Haimowitz

family, and even the Langdon family. However, your grandmother won’t listen. She says they are merely his

acquaintances and that Finnegan himself is still not up to par!”

As Bernice thought about her grandmother, of course she was aware her grandmother preferred Liam.

Thus, she said, “Mom, you should tell Grandma and Grandpa that Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa wasn’t lent to Finnegan’s

family. It was given to Finnegan by the Miles family. Finnegan only said it was borrowed because he was worried

about his parents overthinking! Moreover, Finnegan’s relationships with the Haimowitz, Langdon, and Wahlstrom

families are not just superficial. Even if they were merely acquaintances, doesn’t that still prove Finnegan’s

capabilities? If not, then why, out of tens of millions of people in Jadeborough, can only Finnegan make these

families owe him a favor?”

Jennifer’s eyes widened. “What? Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa wasn’t lent out but was given to Finnegan by the Miles

family?”

Bernice nodded, sharing with jennifer the truth that Finnegan had revealed to her

Knowing that Bernice wouldn’t joke about such things, Jennifer couldn’t help but be surprised, “Dragon Bay No. 1

Villa is a place with a guaranteed value of one billon How could the Miles family be willing to

“That’s why I said Finnegan in capable. He’s not as grandma imagines” said Bernice

Jennifer said, “You go in first. I’ll give your grandmother a call”

After Bernice were in, jennifer walked to the side and dialed Milicent’s member

She relayed everything that Bernice had just said to Milicent

Upon hearing that, Milicent couldn’t help but curse out, “Idiot This just shows that the Miles family has already

bought off Finnegan with Dragon Bay No. 1 Villa. This Finnegan is still no match for Mr. Sable 1 will not agree to this.

Even if you all make a commitment tonight, I’ll still break them apart if Bernice fails to keep her promise?”

Immediately after, Milicent hung up the phone, clearly not wanting to hear Jennifer speak up for Finnegan

Jennifer sighed helplessly “Forget it. As long as Bernie is happy, that’s all that matters. If we have to be driven out of

the family, then so be it!”

The banquet began twenty minutes after the arrival of Finnegan’s family.

To welcome them to his home, Patrick even specially invited a master chef from his own hotel to prepare

the dishes

After a brief interaction, Desmond’s and Quiana’s initial unease had dissipated.

After downing a glass of wine. Desmond, with his arm draped over Patrick’s shoulder, expressed his feelings

“Patrick, I thought someone like you, a big boss, would be hard to get along with. However, it seems I was wrong.

You have a temperament just like mine, easy to talk to!”

Patrick raised his glass. “Desmond, if you’re in a good mood, let’s have another drink. Also, whenever you get the

chance, do drop by more often. The more we meet, the closer we become as family

“Exactly, let’s have another round!”

On the side, Quiana and Jennifer were also chatting, appearing to get along very well

Rhiannon, who was texting Lindsey, wanted to say something

Judging by the situation, she had no choice but to hold it in.

As the banquet was in full swing, Jennifer spoke up with a smile. “This bond between Finny and Bernie seems to be

destined by heaven. Our family’s intention is to arrange a marriage first. What does your family think?

When it came to serious matters, Desmond temporarily put down his wine glass and looked at Quiana.

It was better for women to discuss that matter among themselves.

Quiana said, “Our family is reaching above our station, Let’s focus on your family instead. How should we proceed

with the dowry and such?”

“Don’t say that. Let’s forget about the dowry.” Jennifer smiled and said, “As long as the two children can be

together, we don’t need anything else. We only have one small request!”

Quiana asked, “What is your request?”

Jennifer looked at Patrick.

The latter cleared his throat and took over the conversation. “Quiana, here’s the thing. We, as a couple, only have

one precious daughter, so we hope that she and Finnegan can have at least two children in the future. Additionally,

we wish one of those children could carry the Zimmerman surname!”

Patrick thought it was going to be a difficult request to fulfill.

Upon hearing this request, Quiana laughed and said, “No problem, it’s just a matter of surname. After all, the child

belongs to both our families.”

Desmond nodded. “I have no objections either. This request is quite reasonable. We agree.”

“Desmond, you’re such a straightforward guy!” Patrick said with a laugh as he filled Desmond’s cup with wine. “In

that case, let’s pick a date and plan an engagement party.”

“Dad.” Bernice, her cheeks slightly flushed, took over the conversation. “Finnegan and I have discussed this. He’s

planning to open a clinic, and I’m busy with company matters. We’ve decided to skip the engagement ceremony.

Let’s consider tonight’s dinner as our engagement.”
