Chapter 460 Guess You’ve Got a Conscience

• Hearing her mom’s icy sarcasm, Finnian felt a stab of guilt. He gave in. “Mom, I know I messed up. Don’t be mad, okay? I’ll move back in from now on, alright?”
• “No need. I don’t want that. Once you finish treating Xueqing, get out right away. I don’t want to see your face.” Jennifer snapped, saying the opposite of what she felt. She hadn’t seen her son for a week and had worried nonstop—was he eating, sleeping, had he lost weight? Now that he looked the same as ever, she finally let herself relax.
• Finnian almost said more, then stopped. His sister had told him last time: pretend to agree first and make Mom happy. But the timing was off—Jennifer was still fuming. Even if he tried to smooth-talk her, she probably wouldn’t buy it. He shelved the idea. He’d try again next time.
