Sorry, I'm the Final Boss Now novel Chapter 166

“Is Mr. Spencer feeling any better today?” Theobald asked as Marguerite got into the car.

“He looks much better,” she replied, fastening her seatbelt with her delicate, fair hand. She really was busy today. She was going to pick up Jenny from the hospital.

“That’s good.” Theobald turned the steering wheel with one hand, making a U-turn.

Marguerite looked at him. “Have you hired the maids and everything for the house?”

Theobald nodded. “Anna is interviewing them at the villa now. They should all be in place by the time we get back.” He had specifically told Anna to find a cook with excellent culinary skills, so he could pick up a few tricks. It had been a while since he’d cooked, which was why he’d lost to Aaron last night. Next time, he had to show Marguerite that his cooking skills were also impressive.

Marguerite sighed admiringly. “My amazing Anna! What would we ever do without her?”

A faint smile touched Theobald’s lips as his right hand, adorned with black rosary beads, caught the sunlight. “In a while, I’m planning to promote her to president of the Oakfield branch.”

Marguerite’s eyes curved into crescents as she beamed. “That’s wonderful! Anna deserves to be in a higher position.”

KANYO Hospital.

Joshua, fully disguised in a mask and hat, stood outside the door of VIP room 1004, holding a large bouquet of roses. He had come to the hospital yesterday but hadn’t seen Marguerite. However, he’d had someone check and found out that the patient in 1004 was being discharged today. That meant Marguerite would definitely be here to pick them up.

The head nurse, coming out of another room, saw him and shook her head. This lunatic was such a player. Wasn’t he dating Hannah? Why was he standing outside room 1004 with a bouquet of flowers? The beautiful woman in that room looked young enough to be his daughter. Where did he get the confidence?

As she got closer, she greeted him with a professional smile. “Mr. Green.”

Joshua glanced at her and asked casually, “What do you think of these flowers?”

“They’re beautiful, absolutely beautiful,” the head nurse praised. Beautiful flowers, terrible person.

The sound of voices outside caught the attention of those inside the room. Aaron, who was packing, paused and walked to the door. When he opened it and saw the man holding the flowers, his eyes lit up.

“Joshua!”

Joshua turned and saw Aaron, noticing his cheerful expression. A smirk played on his lips. “Aaron.”

“Did Marguerite say something nice about me to him? She must still have feelings for me!”

But in the next second, Aaron held out his hand. “Refund, please.”

Joshua was speechless. It took him a moment to understand what Aaron was talking about. He frowned. “Aaron, don’t be such a stranger!”

Aaron clenched his fist and raised it threateningly.

“QR code,” Joshua said quickly.

“Payment of thirty-three dollars received.”

Joshua ran a frustrated hand through his hair. He had to find a way to get Marguerite alone. He needed to find out where she was living now.

In the hospital room, Aaron and the caregiver had nearly finished packing. The discharge papers were all processed. They were ready to leave. After settling the caregiver’s pay, the group left with their belongings.

Joshua was gone.

They soon arrived back at the Northpine Wraith villa. Jenny was unaccustomed to such a large space, her eyes wide with a timid curiosity. Marguerite took her hand and gave her a tour. “Jenny, from now on, this is your home.”

Jenny looked around, a little bewildered. “It’s so big. There are so many places to poop.”

Her comment made Marguerite laugh, her eyes crinkling. “Jenny, have you ever noticed that people are like poop guns, and eating is like loading the chamber?”

Jenny nodded seriously. “Yes! And I’ve also realized that people are just warmers for poop.”

They both burst into laughter.

Following behind them, Aaron smiled, the usual gloom in his eyes replaced with pure joy. It was wonderful enough that Marguerite had accepted Jenny, but to see them getting along so well was even better. Life felt truly beautiful right now. The only mystery was why Yellow wasn’t talking to him anymore.

Theobald’s villa didn’t require much upkeep, so Anna had only hired two maids. That afternoon, she also arranged for tutors for all of Aaron’s subjects. After they all had dinner together, Marguerite left Theobald’s villa to head home.

It was getting late, so after a quick shower, Marguerite lay down in bed with only a small night light on. She opened the novel-reading app she hadn’t logged into in ages. Just as she got to the most exciting part, there was a sudden knock on her door.
