Chapter 472 A Birthday Gift
"Then... don't bring it up tomorrow," Maura paused and said. Tomorrow was grandpa's birthday
banquet. She didn't want to ruin it.
"Is that okay? You should know your grandpa wants to see Finn this time; he wants to make sure Finn's
right for you," Leah remarked, "So he has to go tomorrow."
All Leah said was right. Her grandpa planned to test Finn tomorrow.
Maura understood it as well. But they're not a couple anymore.
"You can call him to accompany you tomorrow. I'll tell your second aunt to keep your divorce a secret.
No one will know that," Leah persuaded. That's what Leah hoped to achieve.
As long as they were together, Leah had a thousand ways to fix them up again.
"I'll think about it," Maura frowned. Indeed, Leah's proposal was the best choice. But their relationship
was so embarrassing; seriously, he's Maura's ex-husband.
"Maura. Leave this to mom. I'll talk to Finn," Leah offered.
Maura sighed and said nothing. Clearly, Leah got her tacit consent.
…
In the afternoon, Finn met Leah again in the company.
As soon as Leah saw him, she happily greeted, "Get off work?"
"Yeah," Finn responded faintly. He was a little uncomfortable with Leah's weird passion.
"Here's the thing. Tomorrow, Maura's grandfather will hold a birthday banquet at the Golden Horse
Hotel. Can you go with Maura?" Leah went straight to the point.
"Grandpa?" Finn was confused. He knew less about Maura's grandpa. But he remembered two years
ago when Grant took him to visit him, they got expelled.
"Well, it's my dad, Xander Lin," Lin Lan answered.
"But why me? Does he want to see us now?" Finn asked. Although he never saw Xander, he knew
Xander was a kind person, and more importantly, he always took care of Maura.
"Well, he really wants to see you and learn if you're Maura's Mr. Right," Leah explained honestly.
Although Xander didn't mention Finn, they all could see he wanted to see him. He has to know his
favorite daughter would lead a happy life after his death.
"But we..."
"My dad doesn't know you divorced. Only Gloria knows about it," Leah interrupted him directly. She
guessed what Finn would say.
"Okay, I will be there tomorrow," Finn agreed. He has to go, not for any others, but for his Maura.
If he were not present tomorrow, Maura would be humiliated. So he had to appear, in fine style. He
needed to assure grandpa of his ability and love for Maura.novelbin
"Good. We will wait for you here at 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Let's go to Lin's house first, and then
to the Golden Horse Hotel," Leah smiled. As she expected, Finn still loved Maura. How great it was!
"Okay," Finn nodded slightly. It's like Xander would have a grand celebration. After all, the spot was the
Golden Horse Hotel.
…
After Leah left, Finn drove to Antique Street again.
He needed to pick a gift for Xander.
It's Xander's 80th birthday. By then, most of the important figures of Lin's family would be there.
As juniors, they could not be there with nothing.
Finn had thought about the gift. It should not be too precious. Otherwise, they would steal the limelight
from the others. And as a live-in son-in-law, he could not appear to be too rich.
But the gift should not be too cheap. That would make the grandpa and others look down on him and
make Maura lose face.
Honestly, that's hard to choose a suitable one.
Although he had some thoughts, Finn still didn't figure out what's the best gift.
Finn didn't know much about Xander. His only information was Xander strived to be rich from rags.
He had no idea what he might like.
Having visited several stores, Finn didn't make the purchase. Then he noticed a three-floor building ten
meters in front of him.
