Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 110

 His Eyes Held Only Tess 

Finn fought to control the slight tremble in his fingers. 

“Do you know who she is?” 

Abel frowned, confused by Finn’s sudden sharp tone. 

Tess noticed their strange reactions, one after another. She leaned in and whispered, “What’s going on?” 

Abel didn’t bother hiding his confusion; he just shook his head. “Nothing really. Just feels kinda weird.” 

Yeah, it’s weird. 

Why is Uncle Finn asking if I know who she is? Of course I know-she’s the first love I’ve been searching for all this time. Could it be that Uncle Finn knows Tess too? 

Questions flooded Abel’s mind. Suddenly, he looked at Tess and said, “My uncle’s here too. I’ll introduce you later.” 

Tess stopped playing with Layla for a moment. 

He wants me to meet his uncle? 

She gave Abel a puzzled look, but he just smiled gently, waiting patiently for her reply. 

A chill ran down Tess’s spine. 

We’ve only met three times before, and now I’m supposed to meet his uncle? It feels like meeting his parents. Talk about awkward. 

After a brief pause, Tess declined. “No, thanks. If you want to catch up with him, I’ll just leave after the auction.” 

Abel grabbed her wrist quickly, his eyes serious. “No, you have to meet him. It’s late, and I’m worried. I’ll make sure you get home safe.” 

Tess instinctively wanted to say no. 

Finn doesn’t seem to be at the auction anyway. He’s probably at Evermount Villa. I can just take a cab back myself. 

But before she could speak, the sharp bang of the auctioneer’s gavel announced intermission. 

She hadn’t paid much attention to the exhibits, focusing on playing with Layla instead. 

Now, as people stood and moved around, Tess relaxed, playing more freely with Layla. 

During the auction, she had to maintain order and keep Layla quiet. 

With her head bowed and eyes on Layla, Tess didn’t notice another woman taking a central seat on the first floor. 

Finn kept his gaze fixed on Tess. But with Abel right by her side, Finn could only see parts of Tess’s cheek and neck. 

His fingers clenched tight, a strange ache grew in his chest, gnawing away at his calm and reason. 

From Finn’s view, the two laughed and talked closely, sharing the baby Layla between them, making his eyes burn with jealousy. 

Such a warm, tender moment. Makes them look like they were a family. 

A real family. 

Finn gritted his teeth, unaware someone had switched seats next to him.
