Omnipotent Mrs. Finn

Chapter 190 You've Mistaken Me for Someone Else

"Childish." Ruby rolled her eyes, tossed the ribbon back to Levi, and walked straight ahead.

Levi looked at her back and then at the ribbon in his hand. As he was just about to catch up with her,

he saw Ruby turn back and take the ribbon out of his hand, throwing it away, and then continued to

walk on as if nothing had just happened.

When Levi looked up in dismay, he saw that the ribbon Ruby had thrown out was already hanging

securely on the top of the tree, and the position of the ribbon was quite high.

He inexplicably felt a warmth flow through his heart, and a smile could not help but appear on his face,

before he caught up with Ruby in a brisk pace.

Ruby walked ahead as if nothing had happened.

The scenery was really nice, with birdsong and flowers, and the air was filled with a light fragrance that

was pleasant to smell.

"Can I go and meet the owner of this place?" Ruby walked away for a moment before turning back to

Levi. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Yes, he lives inside this scenic spot and doesn't usually have much contact with outsiders." Levi

nodded his head and quickly glanced at Ruby before reaching out his hand and gently grabbing Ruby's

hand.

Subconsciously, Ruby wanted to struggle, but something came to her mind, she dismissed the idea

and let Levi take her by the hand.

Having taken the first step towards success, Levi's heart was inexplicably excited.

At this moment, it was as if he was back in his school days, having secretly loved a girl for years and

finally finding the opportunity to hold hands with her, his heart was filled with an indescribable

excitement and thrill.

The two walked slowly, following the path up the hill, and soon reached the top.

There was a temple at the top of the hill that was so old that it had a sense of history about it, and the

air was thick with the smell of sandalwood.

There were no monks in the temple, probably because there were no visitors today, and the incense

did not look very strong.

The two of them walked into the temple together. Ruby looked up at the Buddha statue in the temple

and withdrew her gaze.

Levi led her through the hall to the backyard.

The backyard was very secluded, not many people usually came here. The small courtyard was full of

all kinds of rare herbs. Ruby looked at it with astonishment, these herbs, if not for a thick foundation, it

would be difficult to grow in such an environment in the south. This owner was probably not a simple

person.

"Sir, are you home?" Levi stood at the door with Ruby, not rushing in.

It was clear that Levi had a great deal of respect for this person inside.

Ruby became more and more curious about his identity.

With a creak, the closed door opened and a man in a pale blue tunic came out from inside. The man

was tall, slim, with an aura of isolation.

When Ruby saw him, she was slightly stunned, not knowing why, she inexplicably felt some ties with

the man in front of her.

The man's face was clear and gentle, and after he came out, he looked at Levi and nodded, before he

looked at Ruby again, and when he saw Ruby's face clearly, he was stunned, and it was only after a

long time that he spoke uncertainly, "You are, Nellie?"

"What?" Ruby did not expect to hear her mother's name from his lips and subconsciously frowned.

The man realized he made a mistake.

At this point he also realized that the girl in front of him could not be the Nellie he remembered; even if

Nellie was still alive today, she was already an old woman in her early forties, while the little girl in front

of him was only twenty years old by any measure.

"Sorry, please come in." The man quickly recovered as before and didn't mention Nellie again, just

turned around and led Ruby and Levi into the door.

With doubts in her mind, Ruby followed the man into the door.

Levi still held Ruby's hand and walked behind the man with her, introducing the man's identity to Ruby,

"He is Mr. Mccarthy, he is from the Mccarthy family in the capital, and the person who is in charge of

the Mccarthy family nowadays is his son."

The surname Mccarthy was somewhat familiar, and Ruby quickly remembered Patrick Mccarthy.

The young man, similar in age to her, and he had the same plum birthmark on his chest.

They came to the inner courtyard, where had a pavilion surrounded by a number of peony plants,

which were in full bloom at this time of the year.

"Please." Eden Mccarthy made a gesture of invitation, inviting Ruby and Levi to take their seats.

There was a stone table in the pavilion, four stone stools scattered about, and a purple sand pot on the

table, apparently for Eden to drink tea and sip tea here in his spare time.

Ruby graciously took her seat, and Eden turned to boil water to make tea.

"Mr. Mccarthy, you know my mother?" Ruby looked at Eden's back, and that familiar feeling became

stronger and stronger.

She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen this man when she was young, she was

probably less than a year old at the time and her memory was very vague, but she could not be

mistaken with the aura of the man in front of her.

Eden skillfully washed the teacups and began to make tea, listening to Ruby's words, he only smiled

gently and raised his head to meet Ruby's eyes, "I don't know your mother."

"Is that so? I thought you knew her. Before my mother died, there was someone who was always on

her lips, but unfortunately, until she died, that person never appeared." Ruby sighed regretfully and said

softly.

When Eden heard her words, his hand shook slightly, and the hot tea spilled out, splashing onto the

back of his hand, which instantly turned red.

He, however, continued the movements of his hands as if he was painless, never again showing any

signs of perversity.

When Ruby saw that action of his, she understood in her heart that this man, who must have known

her mother, was just unwilling to admit it for some reason.

Ruby didn't continue to test, and together with Levi, they drank tea leisurely.

Eden did not say anything from the beginning, just sipped his tea, his eyes drifting a bit, his mind had

long since drifted off to nowhere.

"By the way, you live in the temple, are you a monk here?" Ruby drank her tea, and looking at Eden's

lost look, she smiled softly again and asked as if she was curious.

"I own this mountain. You can also think of me as the director of the temple." Eden's hand shook

slightly, spilling some tea out of his cup. He took a silent sip of tea before replying.

"So that's it. What is your name, sir? I treated a patient before, his surname is Mccarthy, he looks

somewhat similar to you, I wonder if he has some connection with you." Ruby smiled and her eyes

rolled before she said again deliberately.

"He is probably my son." Eden did not hide it.

"That is strange, he has a birthmark identical to mine, even in the same position, would you say it is

strange?" Ruby poured herself a cup of tea before she looked at Eden with a smile.

Eden's hand shook and the cup in his hand fell directly onto the table, shattering into several

pieces.
