Under Clarine Landon’s persuasion, Linda James sent the photo to the former before deleting it from her own phone.
However, Clarine Landon took this seriously. She decided that she was going to have a good chat with Finn Taylor.
She wanted to know why he had gone to La Feria Club while treating his wife so well. ‘He never should’ve lied to everyone and brought his mistress into the family by hiring her as their helper. Do you know how deeply you’ve hurt Yvette?’
Yvette Larson was so drunk that she slept in until the very next day.
Finn Taylor had gone out with his mistress and hadn’t returned since. In an instant, it seemed like their family had fallen apart.
Just as Yvette Larson woke up the next day, her husband happened to return home.
The couple glanced at each other without speaking.
Linda James didn’t know how to feel. ‘I should be overjoyed to see my daughter’s relationship with Finn Taylor breaking down. However, the latter found himself a mistress and is getting a divorce as a victor in the process. Thankfully, I had been smart enough to request for Finn Taylor to transfer ownership of the house to my daughter. Even if they are to get a divorce now, this house would be our family’s.’
Finn Taylor returned and was about to head out again with Diane Taylor’s daily necessities.
Upon seeing that, Linda James gritted her teeth. She really wanted to ask if he had fallen out of love with her daughter. But she bit her tongue and held herself back at the thought of how crestfallen her daughter had been last night.
She was afraid that her words would trigger Yvette Larson.
In the end, Finn Taylor left.
What Yvette Larson hadn’t expected was her grandpa paying them a personal visit not long after Finn Taylor left.
Joseph Larson looked around and asked, “Why don’t I see Finn Taylor around?”
In the past three years, Joseph Larson had never thought much of his grandson-in-law.
Yvette Larson had already guessed why her grandfather had made a personal trip here and was even asking about her husband. ‘This definitely has something to do with the Gold family’s banquet. Finn Taylor embarrassed the entire Larson family by making Quince Larson kneel down before him in front of all the top families of San Francisco. That isn’t all. The Gold family’s attitude toward the Larson family has caused many other families to look down on them now.’
The Larson family had been in great distress for the past few days. Otherwise, the Old Master never would’ve taken the initiative to make a trip to Number One Pacific Heights to look for Finn Taylor given his personality.
“He’s not at home.” In front of Finn Taylor, Linda James was like a tigress who wanted to swallow Finn Taylor whole. But in front of Joseph Larson, she was like a mouse.
Joseph Larson sneered.
He was annoyed that Finn Taylor wasn’t around when he had already made an effort to come all the way here. However, that wasn’t within his control.
“Forget it. Since he isn’t here, I’ll just talk to you guys. Yvette Larson, did you forget about what I told you that day? I told you to come to the Larson family’s residence with Finn Taylor. I waited for you for an entire day yesterday. Why didn’t you come? But since you guys didn’t come, I decided to make the trip here. I’m giving you a week. If you guys don’t mend the relationship between the Gold family and the Larson family, I’m chasing your whole family out of the Larson family. You’re all traitors!”
Joseph Larson was vicious with his words, even calling them traitors.
Even after the Old Master left, the Larson family felt a stone weighing down on their hearts.
A week to mend their relationship with the Gold family—it was an impossible task, given these three family members’ capabilities.
There was only one possibility: Finn Taylor had to do it.
But nobody was willing to say so.
After settling all of Diane Taylor’s matters, Finn Taylor returned home that afternoon.
He felt that it was strange that his wife was still at home and not in the office. “Why haven’t you gone to the office?”
Yvette Larson hesitated for a moment before finally saying, “Grandpa came today.”
Finn Taylor gave it some thought. “Does he want me to mend the relationship with the Gold family?”
His spouse didn’t reply to him, but Finn Taylor could tell that he had hit the bullseye. “Do you really think that I was wrong? Don’t you think that the Larson family should be punished for treating you that way?”
Recently, Finn Taylor had been heartbroken because his wife had started having distrust toward him.
He felt that Yvette Larson should know him best. ‘No matter what outsiders say about me, you should be on my side. Do you know that your distrust in me hurts me the most?’
“You weren’t wrong, but I’m in a tight spot too.”
“Alright. I’ll bring you to the Gold family, and I can get Third Master Gold to admit that the Gold family and Larson family are good friends…”
“Are you really on such good terms with the Gold family?”
Finn Taylor hadn’t finished his sentence before his wife cut in.
Yvette Larson thought that her husband only knew Kimberly Gold and that perhaps they were just friends. However, she had never expected him to be so close to the Gold family.
He could make a decision for Third Master Gold!
“Can you stop being unreasonable? What do you want me to do?”
“Do you think I’m being unreasonable? Right, right. I’m being terribly unreasonable now.”
“What do you want me to do? I can’t help you, but I can’t not help you. Don’t you think you’re being unreasonable now?”
“You’re right. I’m being unreasonable since you think so.”
There was no result from Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson’s conversation. The couple simply returned to their respective rooms with pent-up anger.
After returning to his room, Finn Taylor realized that he had received a message—it was from Diane Taylor.
“Mr. Taylor, I think there are some things I have to say as a woman. Even though I know that you’re innocent, I’m sure that your wife doesn’t feel good about you going to a place like La Feria Club. All women hope that their husbands will love them forever. Listen to me. Once you go home, have a good chat with Sister Yvette and apologize to her. Once you get past this misunderstanding, your relationship will get better. Couples always make up eventually. Conflicts get worse with time, and your relationship will deteriorate with time too.”
Finn Taylor put his phone down and sighed. Then, he headed to the kitchen and made a bowl of pasta.
He plated it and knocked on his wife’s door.
Seeing that it was her husband at the door, Yvette Larson tried to shut the door.
But Finn Taylor had already squeezed his way in. “Here, have some pasta.”
“I’m not going to eat it.”
“If you don’t eat it, you won’t have any energy to fight with me. Have some of it. We can continue with our argument after you’re done.”
