Chapter 166. Because of You

Elaine hesitated at the main door of the Swernbach house. Coming from the Farnsworth Estate, their house looked a lot smaller. A lot less insurmountable. A lot less rich. Of course, they were still billionaires but…

She took in a deep breath as she tried to come to terms with the fact that the F in her father’s name on her birth certificate that she had never known the meaning of, actually stood for Farnsworth.

“Come on. Don’t you want to come in? They’re actually excited to see you.”

She shook her head. “That’s not it.”

“Then what is it?” he asked, slowing down for the first time since they left Sandra’s house. “Don’t you want to meet my parents? They miss you.”

“It’s not that. It’s A—”

“Andrew?” Melvin looked disappointed.

“Yes, but,” She clutched his arm. “I’m just worried he might try to come close again.”

Melvin smiled. The same smile that Reiki had been suspicious of. “You don’t have to worry.”

He tried to pull her again.
