Chapter 137 Secrets Are Leaked
Tess scoffed and stomped down on the photo with her heel. “Leave now.”
Max’s expression darkened. He stared at her, like he didn’t even know who he was looking at anymore.
Was that truly the quiet, gentle Tess he used to know? Could a year in prison truly turn someone into a completely different person?
The sweet girl he remembered was gone–now she was fierce, almost unrecognizable.
Suddenly, the sharp noise of curtains being drawn sliced through the silence.
Tess stood up and yanked them shut, covering the massive window and cutting off Max’s view.
Just knowing he was still outside made her feel sick.
She exhaled hard, full of pent–up anger.
Soon, the sound of leather shoes faded away. The world finally went quiet.
Tess felt drained, like every ounce of strength had left her body. She sank onto the bed.
Her mind kept going back to that photo. Nadine and Finn were way too close.
She clenched her fists on instinct.
It had been a year. Tess didn’t hate them anymore, but she was still furious.
What exactly did she feel toward Finn now? Why did he keep pretending their marriage was still intact when it wasn’t? Why did he bring her back just to turn around and cozy up to Nadine?
What did he think she was? A pretty decoration to leave on display?
Tess ripped the photo apart and tossed it aside, then lit it up and watched it burn.
That was all going exactly how Nadine wanted.
While Finn was distracted, Nadine shot a smug look toward the corner.
She admired Finn’s side profile, feeling a rush of satisfaction. Her pride was fully fed.
Tess, hope you liked my little gift.
She smiled and set her utensils down. “Finn, work comes first. Let’s get back to the office.
Finn paused mid–cut and set the steak knife down. “You’re finished already?”
Nadine shook her head, giving him a playful smile. “You still owe me a proper dinner once this is over.”
The word ‘owe‘ made Finn blink for a second, but he quickly masked it.
He raised an eyebrow. “Pretty confident, huh?”
