Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 104

 Chapter 104 I’ll Take a Cab 

At best, they are just two people connected by bad luck. 

Abel casually tossed a berry into the air and caught it in his mouth. As he bit down, the sweet and tangy juice exploded on his 

tongue. 

Tess… 

His gaze shifted, and a slow smile spread across his lips. 

His long, sharp eyes narrowed a bit, as if he’d drifted into a pleasant memory. 

But Abel didn’t stay lost in thought for long. 

Sweet memories are nice, but my happiness is within reach now. 

He stood up and told someone to take him out so he could pick the outfits in person. 

In no time, two days passed. Rows of carefully selected dresses-for both an adult and a child-were delivered to the address Tess had given. 

She stared. Her mouth slightly opened at the two full rows of gowns filling the room. 

She’d lived a wealthy life for years, but even at past banquets, she’d never seen anything this extravagant. 

Tess ran her fingers over the dresses. The fabric was unbelievably soft and rich. 

As her hand slid down, the texture became harder-crystals, pearls, tiny diamonds, each sewn by hand into the hems. 

She pulled back her hand, sinking into quiet thought. 

Her impression of Abel had changed again. 

From the moment they met, she knew he was either very rich or powerful and had come from a well-respected family. But she hadn’t expected this level of luxury. 

Rows of custom gowns like these-probably only Finn can afford something like this in all of Aetheris. 

Who is Abel, really? 

The question popped into Tess’s mind, but she pushed it down quickly. 

All I have to do is go with him to one auction dinner. It’s just repaying a favor, nothing more. 

She reminded herself and turned her full attention to picking a dress. 

Putting comfort first, she skipped the heavily bejeweled gowns. Instead, she chose a soft pink dress made from cozy fabric. 

By chance, she found a pink princess dress for Layla that matched hers perfectly. 

Layla loved it, clutching the dress tightly in her small hands. 

“These two.” 

With Tess’s choice made, the staff carefully took the dresses and hung them in the closet. 

Their eyes wandered over the other limited-edition luxury casualwear, and they couldn’t help but say, “Ms. Ember, your husband really spoils you and Miss Layla. Some of these clothes are global limited editions-only a handful exist anywhere in the world.”
