Chapter 386 It’s Between Victor and Tessa
Ste was ming Victor in her heart.
Look <i>at </i><i>how </i>scared Tess is. <i>A </i><i>man </i>should not be like that. If he cannot perform, then at <i>the </i>very least, he should not <i>ruin </i><i>others</i>. Tess is still <i>perfectly </i><i>fine</i>, and <i>she </i>will <i>have </i><i>to </i>get <i>married </i><i>someday</i>. <i>She </i><i>can’t </i><i>be </i><i>casually </i>messed with <i>by </i>someone like Victor, who can’t even… <i>perform. </i>
Abraham raised an eyebrow. “Say what?”
He felt like he had misheard. Whatever Ste meant by ‘say something‘ probably was not what he thought it was.
Ste nodded solemnly. “Yeah, someone needs to talk to him properly. If he’s going for a checkup, then he better hurry up. Just because he’s ‘not working‘ doesn’t give him the right to act like a pervert!”
<i>Can’t </i><i>perform </i>and <i>acts </i>like a pervert?
All of a sudden, Abraham felt a throbbing headache. “You think I should go tell that to Victor? Or maybe you can enlighten me, Ste, on how exactly I should say it?”
Ste looked straight into Abraham’s eyes. “Just tell him directly.”
What’s so hard about that?
Abraham’s expression wasplicated. “Tell him straight up that he can’t take off Tessa’s clothes<b>?</b><b>” </b>
Ste nodded again. “Exactly. He can’t be doing stuff like that.”
Abraham pressed his hand to his forehead. The headache was growing worse by the second.
“Did <b>that </b>little brain of yours catch a fever today?” he asked as he ced his palm against her forehead.
Sure enough, Ste had a slight fever.
<i>No </i>wonder. <i>If </i><i>she </i>were thinking straight, she’d never make such a <i>request</i>. <i>She </i>was <i>clearly </i><i>delirious </i><i>from </i>the <i>fever</i>.
Hearing him say that, Ste blinked, realizing she did feel a little off. “Mm, maybe a little fever.”
Even her voice was turning hoarse.
She looked up at Abraham, eyes wide and watery.
He pinched her cheek lightly. “Don’t tell me you caught it from Eddie.”
<b>Abraham </b>murmured cofilu in <b>his </b><b>heart </b>

And this is something <i>I </i>could actually bring up with <i>Victor</i><i>? </i>
D
He checked her temperature again,paring it with his own. Nope. No fever on his end.
She was the only one spouting nonsense.
Ste suddenly came to a realization.

Oh, right! <i>Oh </i>my god, <i>what </i>kind of ridiculous things had I just <i>been </i><i>saying</i>? How could <i>I </i><i>bring </i>up something like that?
“But what about Tess?” Worried about Tessa, Ste asked.
“Tessa…” After a pause, Abraham finally said, “Don’t worry. Victor won’t do anything to her.”
<i>That </i>line again. Ste secretly rolled her eyes.
“But Tess is really scared of him…” She couldn’t forget the sound of Tessa crying over the phone. Ste was genuinely concerned.
Victor was cold as ice.
Tessa had seemed pretty brave before, but that was only when everything was peaceful and safe.
After everything that’s happened these past few days<b>, </b>she had been scared out of her mind.
And Ste knew well that given Victor’s temperament, there was no way he would bother tofort someone like Tessa.
Abraham said, “It’s rare for Victor to involve himself in other people’s business.”
Ste blinked. “Huh?”
<i>What </i>did that mean?
She looked at Abraham, confused and lost.
He sighed, already feeling another wave of that damn headache. “At this point, it’s basically a private matter between Victor and Tessa.”
A… private matter? Like, a man and woman kind <i>of </i>private matter?
Seeing her still so clueless, Abraham let out a heavier sigh. “We’re heading back the day after
tomorrow.”
“Really?” At the sound of <b>that</b><b>, </b>Ste instantly perked <b>up</b>.
She did not want <b>to </b><b>stay </b>in Rivermount even one more day. Going back was perfect. Back meant leaving all this nonsense behind.

These people…

Especially Susan, who still kept trying to show up around her. It was obvious she was trying totch onto Ste’s sess.
All these years, no matter how they looked down on her, calling her a country girl raised in the sticks, she never once mentioned anything about her ties to Falvaria.
She had seen through them a long time ago.
People like that, if they were being nice to you, it was usually because they wanted to suck you dry.
Fake smiles and false kindness? She was not not interested.
And now they want to cozy up to her? Ha….
Abraham replied, “Yeah, things are just about wrapped up.” He nodded, voice warm with indulgence.
Ste wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the cheek. “Good. We should’ve gone home long ago.”
Just as she was about to snuggle back under the nket, the man suddenly wrapped his armi around her waist and pulled her in.
“You think you can just light a fire and run?”
Ste squirmed. “What fire? I didn’t light anything”
Just one little kiss and he’s all hot and bothered<i>? </i>This man <i>really </i><i>couldn’t </i>handle a single tease.
Abraham held her close and rolled over, pinning her beneath the covers.
Ste panicked. “No, no, we can’t.”
“Keep quiet, Abraham whispered in her ear.
…I mean it. We really <b>can’t</b>.” She looked at him with teary, pleading eyes, reaching up to push him
away.
But the <b>man </b>caught her slender wrists in one hand and pinned them above her head, locking her in ce.
