The Million-Dollar Heart novel Chapter 1094

Finnian suddenly felt as if a lump of blood was stuck in his throat, unable to escape.

"Little troublemakers, you still want to visit my place?"

"Let you guys up there again, and my lawn will be completely stripped bare!"

Finnian cleared his throat gently and said, "And have the nerve to talk? If it wasn't for you, would I be without a place to stay?"

Juliette gave a sheepish smile, "Grandpa Finnian, don't be mad, okay? I'll use my birthday money to fix your house up. Just make them hurry; I want to stay there too!"

Finnian gave her a look, "What’s the deal? Your huge house can’t accommodate you two?"

Juliette nodded earnestly, "Yes, yes, it can’t!"

Then, wiping away imaginary tears, she said with a face full of grievance, "Grandpa Finnian, you have to stand up for us. Someone is trying to woo my mom, and he wants my mom to kick us out. We're so pitiful, soon to be homeless kids!"

Finnian, "Do you even listen to yourself?"

"Pitiful?"

"Homeless?"

"You?"

"Does your face turn red when you say these things?"

Finnian coughed lightly, playing along, "What happened? How did you become homeless?"

Hearing this, Juliette burst into tears, "Grandpa Finnian, someone wants to be my new dad. My grandparents, my great-grandparents, they all told my mom to find a new dad, but... my dad is still alive. What happens to my dad if my mom marries someone else?"

Juliette managed to squeeze out a few tears, "Grandpa Finnian, you have to help me! If my mom marries this new guy, we'll never have good days again. You'll never see your smart, cute, kind-hearted Juliette again!"

Finnian, "......"

"Listen, stop trying to force tears. It’s not worth blinding yourself over this before anything even happens with your stepdad!"

"And by the way! Are you sure you understand what smart, cute, and kind-hearted mean? Are we talking about the same person here?"

Seeing Finnian unresponsive, Juliette continued her sob story, "Grandpa Finnian, if you’re silent, does that mean you don't want us either? We're so pitiful, nobody wants us! Isaiah, maybe we should just leave; there's no place for us here anymore!"

Finnian looked skyward, at a loss for words but quickly grabbed Juliette, who pretended to leave, "Oh, my dear Juliette, if you leave, wouldn’t that break Grandpa Finnian’s heart?"

Internally, Finnian thought, I wouldn’t be sad at all! The farther away these two troublemakers are, the better!

But he couldn’t say that out loud, "Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your mom. I promise she won’t end up finding you a new dad!"

Yeah, right!

Vivienne's stubbornness is just like Sasha's; convincing her would be a miracle!

Upon hearing this, Juliette smiled triumphantly, "Grandpa Finnian, you're the best! I love you the most!"

Finnian, "......"

"Please don’t. I can’t handle that kind of love!"

Clearing his throat, Finnian said to Juliette, "Well, Grandpa Finnian has to go now. Tell your mom I’ll come to see her in a few days!"

Juliette tilted her head, "Grandpa Finnian, aren’t you going to see my mom now? How will you persuade her?"

Finnian: Kids' tales, you believe them?

Glancing towards Vivienne and seeing her back turned, not paying them any attention, he sighed in relief, "Not today, Grandpa Finnian has some other matters to attend to. I’ll come by another day."
