Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Calling Security 

Nadine quietly blamed Tess for all her frustrations. 

As soon as she stepped inside, something felt different, she didn’t feel like her usual confident self. Instead, she felt nervous and uncertain. Her eyes darting around, searching for Finn. 

She hadn’t even caught sight of him before someone told her the auction was about to start. 

Not far away, Tess saw everything clearly. 

She stood beside a tall indoor banana plant, holding Layla, her brow slightly furrowed. 

Why is Nadine alone? Where is Finn? Isn’t he coming? 

Tess wondered silently, but didn’t dwell on it. 

After all, Finn was the richest man in Aetheris-he wouldn’t attend every single event he was invited to. 

Pushing those thoughts aside, Tess was the first to notice a sudden smell of tobacco nearby. 

“Hi there. Don’t you have a date?” a stranger asked, his voice filled with curiosity and excitement. 

Tess blinked and turned to face a broad-faced man. 

When he saw her face, his eyes lit up at how striking she was. 

But the smile quickly faded when he noticed the child in her arms. 

Wait, she has a kid? 

His interest died, and he slumped, clearly disappointed. 

He’d seen the gorgeous woman alone and wanted to try his luck, but she turned out to be married. 

“Can I help you?” 

Tess frowned, uncomfortable with the man’s obvious stare, her expression growing cold. 

She didn’t laugh or flirt back, which clearly annoyed him. 

He straightened up and sneered, “Never mind! What a waste of time, talking to a mom like you!” 

His arrogance almost made Tess laugh out loud. 

I’m just standing here-he’s the one who rudely bothered me. 

Her frown softened, but her eyes turned icy as she stared him down until he shivered. 

The man rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and waved her off. “Forget it! Ugh!” 

Then he turned to leave.
