Her Cancellation of the Engagement novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 Your Forehead Turns Dark

As Lloyd and Gianna tested each other, their car entered the Fallingwater community.

When Gianna and the others arrived home, Damian, Taryn, and Irvin were already there.

Gianna glanced at Irvin and then asked Lloyd, "How come you paid for the living expenses of four people, but five people are having dinner?"

Lloyd hadn't spoken yet, but Irvin grinned and said, "Come on, Gia. Please don't be so stingy; I'm here just for a free meal. And I bought a gift, the money for which is enough to cover a meal."

Gianna stared at him. How dare he call she "Gia"? And he called she stingy?

Fine! She'll remember this!

She looked away and spoke seriously, "Mr. Garcia, I noticed your forehead turning dark. There might be something unfortunate happening today. I suggest you eat some garlic to ward off evil!"

Irvin said, "You can tell fortunes?"

Gianna nodded earnestly, "Yes, I have a basic understanding of my mentor's skills."

"Haha!" Irvin lifted his cup and took a sip, laughing loudly. "You're hilarious, Miss Geller. I didn't realize you're such a joker..."

Bam!

Before he could finish his sentence, the cup in Irvin's hand suddenly shattered.

Irvin stared at it in shock. "Isn't this unscientific?"

The others were also startled, staring at Irvin with mouths agape.

"Hehe, Gia, you're amazing! By reading someone's features, you can predict fortune or misfortune!" Damian stood up excitedly, staring at the broken glass on the floor. "Irvin, you better do as Gia says and eat garlic!"

Damian was older, and many people of his generation respected the spirits and believed there were invisible things in this world.

Despite never having seen them, they would rather believe in their existence than doubt it.

Now, witnessing the cup in Irvin's hands shattering without warning, he became even more convinced that there were divine beings in this world.

Irvin said, "Old Mr. Finley, this is just a glass. Maybe the water was too hot, and therefore it broke. It happened to break when I picked it up. Gia is spouting nonsense. Do you believe her?"

"Tsk, tsk!" Damian quickly made disapproving sounds. "You can't say that. It would be best if you had respect for some things. Hurry up and do as Gia says."

Irvin was filled with resistance. "Eating garlic makes my breath stink; I'm not eating it."

He thought that Gianna was simply insane.

Was it because he was here to freeload a meal?

Did she have to come and bother him with all this spiritual talk?

To make matters worse, he was forced by Damian to eat garlic!

He honestly couldn't express his grievances.

"You rascal! Why aren't you obedient? Hurry up and go!" Damian said sternly.

Irvin reluctantly picked up another cup. "Look, nothing happens when I pick up this cup, right? We emphasize scientific methods now. There aren't so many spirits... "

Bam!

The cup shattered again!

Stiffening, Irvin held up his hand, his mouth open, but he could not speak.

Suddenly, he jumped up, his face filled with horror. "Is this for real?"

"Oh dear, you child. We've been telling you all along, but you wouldn't listen. Quickly eat the garlic. Do you want your father to lose his child??" Damian urged anxiously.

Damian watched Irvin grow up; to him, Irvin was like his own grandson. He didn't want any trouble to befall him.

Sherman and Laney also advised, "Mr. Garcia, even though we emphasize science now, we still have to believe in some things. You'd better listen to Gia. After all, she spent ten years in the Taoist temple and understands some things."
