Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 You’re the Only One I Can Ask 

Abel’s eyes narrowed, flashing sharp and wild like a leopard-cold and fierce. 

Who dared to do such a thing right under my nose? 

His knuckles cracked loudly as he clenched his fists. 

In Aetheris, who else could pull off something like this? 

Tess didn’t react to the strange tone in his voice. At this point, there wasn’t much she could do. 

She pressed her lips together, frustrated, and was about to hang up. 

“Tess…” 

Abel sounded like he wanted to say more, which made her pause just before ending the call. 

Huh? 

Suddenly, a sharp knock came at the door. 

Tess looked over, confused, and said softly into the phone, “Wait a second.” 

Abel heard it as well and held his breath. 

Tess is back at her husband’s place, so the knock must be from him… 

His eyes turned razor-sharp. 

Then, surprisingly, he chuckled quietly. 

Why does it feel like I’m the third wheel, sneaking around with his wife? 

He held his breath and listened carefully. 

Meanwhile, Tess opened the door to find Finn standing there. 

His eyes immediately caught the lit-up phone in her hand. “Who are you talking to?” 

His voice was calm but carried a slight edge of suspicion that Tess could sense. 

Without thinking, she turned off the screen and set the phone down, looking up with a frown. “I already told you the second rule at dinner.” 

Finn’s lips parted slightly but then closed as he let out a soft hum. 

Only then did Tess relax a bit. “So, what do you need?” 

Finn looked away but mentally noted the name he caught on her screen. 

Her fingers mostly covered it, but he glimpsed one word. 

Shaw? 

A name popped into his head. 

No way. If he’s in Aetheris, I would know about it.
