Chapter 2421

Perhaps Joshua was right; he should probably leave.

Staying in Merchant City would not only allow his ungrateful son Malcolm to continue pestering
him...but he even had to worry about Thomas, too.He could not help feeling that Thomas would not let
him off the hook so easily after what happened just minutes ago.

Samuel sighed and glanced at the boarding time on the ticket.

This was a flight ticket for the next day, so he had a day to saya proper farewell to everyone else.

At the thought of this, Samuel rubbed his brows and contemplated this for a long time.

Finally, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Joshua's house.

At this moment, Mrs.Flores was helping Nellie organize her design sketches.

"These sketches are absolutely stunning! You have such a natural talent at this, Princess Nellie!"

Nellie glanced at her, grinning when she heard the compliment.

"Mrs.Flores, do you want me to design some jewelry for you? I'm really good at this!"

Mrs.Flores could not help smiling upon hearing Nellie's enthusiastic offer.

Thank you, Princess Nellie, but I'm old now, and I haven't worn jewelry in a long time!

"Besides, why would a lowly servant like me be wearing jewelry pieces designed by Princess Nellie
herself?"



As soon as she finished her sentence, Mrs.Flores' phone rang.

At this moment, her phone was placed on Nellie's table, whereas she had her back turned.

When the phone rang, Nellie instinctively glanced at the screen, which read, [Samuel Quinn].

Nellie's eyes widened in shock after registering this familiar name.She knew who this was—it was
Father Samuel, Malcolm Quinn's father! She could not believe that Mrs.Flores and Father Samuel
knew each other! At this moment, Mrs.Flores heard the phone ring and quickly picked it up.

"Hello, long time no see...Huh? You're leaving soon? Alright then...

"I'll see you tonight."

Mrs.Flores strode away while talking on the phone while Nellie remained seated at her little table,
straining hard to listen as Mrs.Flores' voice grew further BDr.AoNJ further away.

Her eyes were still as wide as saucers.

According to their conversation, Mrs.Flores was not only friends with Father Samuel, but they seemed
to be close, too! What a small world! Just as she pondered this unexpected connection, Nellie's phone
rang, too.

It was a call from Luna.

She and Joshua were on their way to the hospital to visit Sean and Kate, but she was worried that their
encounter with Thomas Howard would still be affecting Nellie, so she called to check in on the little girl.

"I'm fine!"

Nellie pouted slightly as she munched on the jellies on the table.



"Mrs.Flores is here with me, and she even said I'm really talented at this! Oh, speaking of this—"

Nellie glanced at the door, then continued in a low voice, "I made a discovery!"

Luna chuckled as she leaned against Joshua's shoulder.

"And what is that?"

"I discovered that Mrs.Flores is friends with Uncle Malcolm's father, Samuel! Not only that, but they
seem to be very close to each other! Father Samuel called Mrs.Flores just now to say goodbye to her!"

Joshua narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

Samuel and Mrs.Flores knew each other? Samuel was supposed to leave Merchant City the next day,
yet the first people he decided to bid farewell to were neither Charles nor Rosalyn but Mrs.Flores
instead.

His instinct was telling him that...there was much more to this than he did not know.
