Chapter 132 No Escape
After saying that, Tess didn’t want to explain further. She pulled a bottle from the diaper bag and began preparing formula for Layla.
Abel no longer had his usual aloof, regal air. He immediately offered to help, his tone gentle. “Let me do it.”
Tess hesitated, but when she met those bright, sincere eyes, she gave in and let him take over. Abel quickly returned with a warm bottle of formula, smiling as he brought it to Layla’s lips. Layla obviously recognized the person in front of her and opened her little mouth to latch onto the bottle with her tiny teeth.
Abel watched her adorable movements with fascination, his heart overflowing.
Just then, Finn stormed into the restaurant with a line of bodyguards behind him. This was the scene he walked in on–Abel bent over while feeding Layla and Tess looking on with soft eyes, her long hair gently cascading over her shoulders as she held her daughter.
The three of them looked like a peaceful family. It was a picture–perfect moment.
“Tess!”
A thunderous shout shattered the silence.
She heard the heavy thud of leather shoes approaching, each step measured and ominous. A sudden chill ran down her spine.
Tess’s body tensed, while Abel remained relatively composed.
He straightened up and said, “Uncle Finn?”
Finn walked right past him, his cold gaze fixed entirely on Tess.
She pressed her lips together tightly and turned her face away. The warmth in the restaurant evaporated instantly. Now, Finn looked like the villain who had ruined everything.
His eyes darkened visibly, though he tried to hold back the fury boiling inside him. He glared coldly at Abel. “So, you remember I’m your uncle? Then you should know who she is!”
Each word from him struck like an accusation, growing more relentless.
The air turned heavy with silence–until Abel shrugged nonchalantly. “Aren’t you two about to get divorced anyway?”
After all, their marriage had already reached its end, so what was wrong with him caring for Tess and Layla? He trusted what Tess had told him. Even if the man in front of him was his own uncle… If Tess said her husband had failed her, then it was only right that someone else treat her better.
Abel thought it through and became even more righteous in his stance.
Finn frowned and let out a cold laugh. “Who said we’re getting divorced?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he pulled Tess into his arms without warning.
Tess obviously hadn’t expected his sudden words and actions. She stumbled into his chest, dazed by the sudden movement.
Abel’s eyes narrowed, a rare intensity replacing his usual calm.


Is this really Finn?
