“Are you really not corning with me?” Ste asked.
Tewa nodded. “Mm–hmm”
“Did Victor threaten you or something?” Ste <b>pressed</b>.
How could someone change so drastically overnight? She was convinced Tessa had been coerced.
“It really wasn’t <b>him</b>,” Tessa replied.
Ste was stunned. Seriously! It wasn’t? Then how could she have Hipped so fast!
Just a moment ago, she’d been crying in Ste’s arms, begging not to be left <b>behind</b>.
Tessa rubbed her hands <b>nervously</b>. <b>“</b><b>Anyway</b>, just go back for now.”
After tone was firm.
Ste didn’t buy it, but with <b>Tessa </b>refusing to say more–and not budging an inch toe with her–she didn’t have much ground to <b>stand </b>on.
<b>Just </b>as Tessa turned to head back into Victor’s room, Ste called out again, “Wait.”
<b>Tessa </b>paused and looked <b>back</b><b>. </b>
“From now on,” Ste said, “don’t get involved in anything rted to Victor. I mean it–don’t do anything.”
Tessa blinked, then gave a small nod. “Okay.”
“I mean nothing,” Ste emphasized. “No lifting a finger–not even to pour a ss of water.”
What had happenedst night with the wrong medication <b>couldn’t </b>happen again.
If something like that happened again, no one would be able to exin it away.
Tessa’s mouth twitched, but then she gave a hard nod. “Got it.”
Ste was right. She totally deserved this.
<b>Why </b>had she been so eager to help–she barely knew Victor. Even if she wanted to repay him for saving her in Rivermount, that didn’t mean she had to y housemaid.
There were plenty of other ways to show gratitude in this world.
Tessa went back to Victor’s room.
<b>Abraham </b>took Ste’s hand. “Let’s go.”
And just like that, he was leading her outside.
As he tugged her along. Ste mumbled, “Do you think Victor really threatened Tessa? Did he?”
Abraham turned to nce at her, affection flickering in his eyes. “You showed up in person–who’d dare threaten her?”
Ste fell silent. <b>Thur</b>.
Forget Victor’s people–even Victor himself had to show <b>her </b>some respect.
Hai… no, that wasn’t right.
“When I said I wanted to take Tessa a
away carlier, Victor t–out refused.”

This time, when it came to <b>Tessa</b>, Victor hadn’t given her even a <b>shred </b>of face.
Abraham said nothing more, simply led her out the door and into the car.
He didn’t bother answering her question again.
Once they were inside, he pulled her into hisp.
Ste squirmed a little. “What are you doing? Let me sit on my own<b>.</b><b>” </b>
“The medical team’s already been arranged,” <b>Abraham </b>said. “We’ll start with a check–up when we get back, <b>okay</b>?”
Ste looked down. “But I’m hungry.”
It was already lunchtime
She’d originally nned to head straight back to the Dawson family’s <b>ce </b>after picking up Tessa–but things had dragged out longer than expected.
Worse yet, she hadn’t eaten a single bite.
Hearing the pout in her voice, Abrahamughed. “Then let’s eat first.”
“At home?”
“Yeah, at home.”
They were already so close–of course they’d eat at home.
Sure, Falvaria had a lot of ces Ste liked to eat at… but right now, <b>all </b>she wanted was to go home.
The <b>car </b>rolled steadily along the familiar roads.
Outside, rows of palm trees swayed gently. Even the scent of the air felt <b>nostalgic</b>.
About half an hourter-
The car climbed a small mountain just outside the city center. As it rounded a bend halfway up, the entire capital of Falvaria unfolded before them.
This had always been: Ste’s favorite spot whenever she left home.
Especially at night.
From here, you could see every twinkling <b>light </b>in the city, stretching out like a sea of stars,
Ste leaned against the car window, gazing out.
<b>Abraham </b>pulled her back into his arms. “What’s got yo
you so mesmerized?”
“I’m deciding where I want to eat over the next few days,” she <b>said</b>.
“Heh.”
He chuckled, indulgent and amused.
<b>Back </b>in Rivermount, she hadn’t had any appetite. Now that she was home, it was like her appetite had been restored.
“Troublemaker. If it turns <b>out </b>you’re pregnant, you won’t be able to eat out whenever you <b>want</b>.”
As he spoke, he kissed the back of her neck.
Ste squirmed at the ticklish sensation and copsed against his chest.
Their eyes met.

Hers were soft and glistening, like morning dew–and the sight made Abraham’s heart melt.
His lipsnded on hers.
Ste tugged at the cor of her shirt, flustered. “Don’t…”
They were almost <b>home</b>. For all she knew, a major scene was waiting for her to exin herself.

Even though things in Falvaria had stayed rtively calm while she was in Rivermount, now that she was back <b>and </b>facing her mother in person… she couldn’t help but feel nervous
Sensing the tension in her body, Abraham chuckled. “What? Getting nervous?”
“I’m not.” Ste mumbled.
