Yvette Larson had suffered enough in the Larson family. Now, she had even been beaten up by a crazy woman on the streets.
Finn Taylor's heart couldn't help but ache for her. As such, he decided to bring his wife for a good meal to make it up to her.
After a discussion, the couple decided against luxurious restaurants and ended up in a very ordinary family diner.
But no sooner had they sat down than they spotted Clarine Landon—she was here for a meal too.
Just like that, their date was disrupted by a heartless third wheel. The worst part was that this third wheel didn't feel bad for doing so.
In fact, she was the one chatting with Yvette Larson throughout the meal, while Finn Taylor could only listen to the best friends.
Finn Taylor couldn't hold himself back anymore. “Clarine, are you done eating? Go home if you are.”
She rolled her eyes at him. “What's wrong? Are you going to control me too? I'm just speaking to my best friend.”
Finn Taylor was speechless. 'What's this woman doing? Why doesn't she find herself a boyfriend instead of always butting into our relationship? If you want a boyfriend, I can find one for you.'
However, he held himself back on his wife's account.
“Oh right, Yvette. Are you going to the Travelers Club party?”
'Travelers Club?' Finn Taylor was confused by this new term. He looked at the two beautiful women in front of him, waiting for them to give him an explanation.
What he got in return was Clarine Landon's fury. “How dare you ask about that? Do you know that Yvette was known to be the most beautiful lady there? It's because she married you that she fell out of favor and hasn't attended the party for two years. If you were the slightest bit capable, Yvette never would've fallen into such a state.”
Finn Taylor was stunned. 'What does that mean?'
Seeing that Clarine Landon was going to continue with her tirade, her best friend quickly stopped her. “Hold on; I'd better tell him myself.”
She then told her husband all about the Travelers Club.
In college, everyone had chosen to join different clubs and societies. Travelers Club was one of them.
It was a club set up for members to travel together to beautiful locations, where they would leave with beautiful memories and photographs.
While in the club, Yvette Larson had won the club's competition for three consecutive years with photographs of vast landscapes, majestic mountains, and skies. Because of that, she had become a huge star in the club.
However, Yvette Larson gradually stopped attending such trips after graduating. Soon, her popularity decreased even when she did attend their parties and trips.
But the moment she married Finn Taylor, she became a complete joke in their eyes, especially in the eyes of someone named Annie Fraser. In college, she had been Yvette Larson's greatest competitor in the club.
Now that Yvette Larson was embroiled in such a scandal, she couldn't hold herself back. In fact, she simply exposed how the other had married a useless matrilocal son-in-law at their gathering.
From then on, Yvette Larson had never attended another gathering.
It was the first time Finn Taylor was hearing of this.
He grabbed his wife's ice-cold hands. “You should've told me about this.”
Finn Taylor wasn't trying to scold her; he simply felt she had suffered too much because of him.
'I'm not a piece of trash, and I'm sure that Yvette has already guessed so. However, I have no other choice. It isn't yet time for me to reveal my true identity. Donovan Taylor is still missing.' Finn Taylor felt that he couldn't let his guard down just yet.
Besides, Finn Taylor was still wary of someone—Frida Cameron! She was Finn Taylor's grandma, but she didn't really like him.
Even Finn Taylor didn't know why. He just knew that his grandmother had a lot to do with how his parents despised him and ignored him at home.
If he were to reveal his identity while she was still around, he would probably be betrayed by the entire Peregrine Hall.
As for the title of Master Peregrine, Finn Taylor didn't really care for it. It was simply a title the Taylor family had given him.
What he wanted was a title that he earned for himself.
“We'll be attending this trip too.” Finn Taylor made the decision for his wife. 'Since she likes it, she has to go. As for all those who looked down on Yvette, I'll let them feel just how cruel the world really is.'
Just then, Finn Taylor's phone rang. He couldn't help but frown as he took a glance at it.
It was a message from Zane Yeller—they had gotten news about Yvette Larson's piece of jade.
Zane Yeller had sent him an address, asking him to head over. They had to discuss this matter face-to-face.
But Finn Taylor had an important appointment tonight. Because he had helped his significant other resolve her troubles in the office, she had promised to let him sleep in her room.
“What's wrong? Do you have something on?” asked Yvette Larson when she noticed her husband frowning.
“Yes, I have to settle some matters. I might get home slightly later tonight.”
To be honest, Yvette Larson felt a little flustered. She hadn't decided what she was going to do at night.
Hearing that her husband was heading out, she felt that the weight on her chest had been lifted slightly. 'Before Finn Taylor returns, I will arrange my bedroom and see how to solve this problem.'
Suddenly, Finn Taylor also felt that it was a good idea for him to head out. Otherwise, it would be awkward for both of them that he was moving in suddenly.
“You can drive the car home later.” With that, Finn Taylor placed the key on the table and stood up.
Just as he was about to leave, his wife suddenly asked, “Will you be back tonight?”
Even she didn't know whether she hoped that he would be back. Nonetheless, she posed that question.
“Of course. Even if my legs are broken, I'll crawl home.”
'Pfft!' Clarine Landon didn't understand what was going on but was tickled by their conversation.
Yvette Larson's heart felt a little empty as she watched him walking off into the distance.
As soon as he exited the diner, Finn Taylor headed to the suburbs.
Zane Yeller had always been under Finn Taylor's protection.
Recently, the latter had been rather worried about his wife because of that piece of jade. Thus, he had instructed Zane Yeller to investigate it.
He was terribly efficient. Although the four guardians hadn't been able to find out anything about it even after such a long time, Zane Yeller had!
A random restaurant in the suburbs of San Francisco.
Rather than a restaurant, it was much more like a food kiosk.
There was only one table in the whole store, where their customers could have a quick meal.
Finn Taylor was confused why Zane Yeller had chosen to meet him here. Still, he strolled in.
