Hearing this. Tess smirked sarcastically, her gaze landing on Finn, finding the situation even more ridiculous.

He had sent his personal assistant to watch over Nadine.

Yet, when Layla was injured, there wasn’t even a single bodyguard sent to protect her and the child.

This contrast only made Tess feel like a complete fool.

Noticing the sudden shift in Tess’s mood, Abel casually dropped a remark before hanging up. “Well, when the bar closes, let Uncle Finn sleep on the street.”

That remark made Tess burst out laughing, lifting her spirits significantly.

She stole a glance at Finn.

He was utterly unconscious, completely wasted.

Still, she couldn’t deny that he was strikingly handsome. Even now, slumped over the table, his profile resembled a work of art, as if he were a model caught mid–pose.

It was downright amusing to think of such a powerful tycoon from Aetheris sleeping on the

streets.

Seeing Tess laugh, Abel’s expression softened considerably.

“Zane should arrive soon. Tess, I’m drunk too. You really trust some random driver to take me home?

Abel raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes, playing pitiful and innocent.

But Tess could see straight through him.

“Then I cancel the ride, and you can go be a bum on the street with your uncle

She shrugged with a teasing smile.

Realizing his charm wasn’t working. Abel pouted, looking defeated.

“Alright, I need to get going. Layla is waiting for me at home

Tess glanced at the time, her relaxed demeanor fading.

Mentioning Layla made Abel’s expression serious as he looked at her regretfully. “You go ahead. I’ll wait for the driver and Zane.”

As he spoke, he cast a glance at Finn.

Despite his reservations about Finn, he couldn’t just leave his uncle alone in this state.

Tess didn’t respond much. “Suit yourself.”

She walked straight out.

Abel sat back down, tapping his fingers on the table, trying to wake Finn.

But all Finn did was frown slightly.

Bored. Abel started scrolling through his phone while waiting, even exchanging goodnights with Tess online.

They had no idea Finn had slipped into a dream.

Or rather, a memory.

When had he first met Tess?

It was one of those ordinary days when she suddenly appeared as his fiancée.

Initially, he only intended to honor his grandmother’s wishes. A wife was merely a title to him.

But he hadn’t expected her to be so capable,

Even if she hadn’t unexpectedly become his fiancée, he would have noticed her at work.

In just a few years, she had become a top–tier young lawyer in Aetheris.

Though their relationship was distant, they treated each other with courtesy.

He admired her

But then, he discovered she was just like every other woman he disliked–vain and jealous

So hypocritical.

It wasn’t until her sister, Nadine, approached him that he realized the professionalism he

admired in Tess was completely fake.

He felt let down, but he didn’t dwell on it.

To Finn, having a wife was just for show.

That was true–until one night.

That ridiculous night.

His body shifted at last.

He opened his eyes slowly, vision still hazy, but quickly recognized that he was alone.

“Mr. Lock!”

“Did you call for a driver?”

Two voices echoed at once.

Abel leisurely stood up, pointing at Finn as he addressed Zane, “Take your boss home.”

He then swaggered off with the ride–share driver.
