Imprisoned While Pregnant, She's Back for Payback novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Save Her From All That Pain 

Finn’s not around. 

Tess let out a breath of relief. 

Since she was planning to divorce and no longer saw herself as Mrs. Lock, she didn’t bother giving orders to the household staff and decided to make a simple breakfast herself. 

Just as she set the plate on the table, her eyes caught Finn’s, and she noticed the dark circles shadowing his tired gaze. 

He obviously hadn’t slept well, but the weariness added a fragile touch to his sharp, handsome face. 

Tess quickly looked away. 

But Finn took a step closer. 

“Afraid to meet my eyes?” His voice held a hint of a laugh, but it was hard to tell what he meant. 

Tess pressed her lips together and ignored him. 

Finn stared at her pale face for a moment and sighed. “Good morning, Tess.” 

He sounded calm and casual-as if they were just a normal married couple exchanging routine greetings. 

Tess froze, her knife and fork paused in midair. She gave him a strange look, silently asking what he was playing at. 

Finn acted like he didn’t see it and deliberately sat down right across from her. 

She frowned, watching him quietly. 

She didn’t touch her food and locked eyes with him instead, her gaze cold and steady. 

Finn then called a maid over. “Make me the same breakfast she’s having.” 

The maid glanced at the simple meal, looking confused and unsure. 

Finn’s indifferent stare made the maid hold back her doubts and quickly head to the kitchen. 

“What are you trying to do?” 

Impatience flashed in Tess’s eyes as she asked bluntly. 

Finn, calm and collected, wiped his knife and fork but said nothing at first. After a while, he finally murmured, “Don’t talk while eating.” 

Because the meal was simple, the maid was soon back with a nicely plated breakfast. 

Finn accepted it and began eating, one bite at a time. 

It seemed like his odd behavior was just an excuse to have breakfast. 

Tess sneered softly, choosing not to question him more. She turned back to her own plate. 

Living at Evermount Villa saved her from paying rent, but she hadn’t forgotten the heirloom Finn had given her yesterday-Gillian’s necklace. 

She promised herself she’d pay him the 100 million dollars back. 

Once the divorce is final, we’ll be strangers. I don’t want to owe him anything. Plus, I have to find a safer place to live soon. 

Evermount Villa is only temporary. 

Tess finished her breakfast quickly and cleaned up the dishes before standing. 

Her movement made Finn raise an eyebrow. 

Just as she turned to leave, Finn’s voice came softly. 

“Tess.”
