Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116 A Warm, Happy Family 

But as soon as Finn finished speaking, Tess let out a sharp, mocking laugh. 

Finn frowned and met her sarcastic, teasing look. 

“You’re my husband?” 

Tess sneered without holding back. “Finn, you should already know I’ve got the divorce papers ready. It’s only a matter of time before we split. Yeah, I need something from you now, and I’m stuck under your roof, but you need to wake up to reality.” 

Finn shoved his hands deep in his pockets, lowering his cold eyes. A chill seemed to radiate from him, making the place feel colder. 

The tension was thick, but Tess kept her gaze locked on him without flinching. 

Everything about her-her expression, her stance-said one thing loud and clear: she was going to divorce him no matter what. 

Finn couldn’t quite put his feelings into words, but every look and move Tess made felt like a sharp, twisting blade in his chest. 

“Tess,” he said out of nowhere, then let out a low, almost amused laugh. 

She blinked, confused, and watched him closely. She was unsure what he’d do next. 

Finn’s eyes darkened with obsession. “We’re still married. That means legally, I’m still your husband.” 

Before she could react, his hand shot out and grabbed her slender wrist firmly. 

As Finn felt the coldness on his palm, his eyelashes twitched slightly. 

Why is she so cold? Is she that fragile? 

He pushed down his confusion and the sudden flicker of pity he hadn’t noticed before, asking sharply, “When did you start hanging out with Abet?” 

Tess frowned deeply and gave him a strange look, surprised by the shadowy gloom in his eyes. 

“He’s just a friend. What’s it to you? Are you really gonna control my personal life now?” 

She stared at Finn, her voice sharp with annoyance. 

“Friend?” 

Finn pictured them together, the three of them laughing and talking. 

Abel had even gently adjusted the mother and daughter’s dresses as Tess obediently listened to him. 

Friends? 

Friends who look like a warm, happy family?! 

Suddenly, anger flared in Finn’s eyes. His grip on her wrist tightened without thinking. 

Feeling the pressure, Tess shot him an angry glare and yanked her wrist free. 

Caught off guard, Finn stumbled back a few steps. 

When he looked up, Tess was already heading for the door. 

“You can have the necklace.” 

Her voice was cold, her eyes full of nothing but dislike. 

That line was like a blade, cutting any ties left between them.
