Chapter 503 Too Light to Block You
The man stepped toward Tessa with long strides, his tall, imposing frame bringing a natural sense of pressure with it.
Feeling overwhelmed, Tessa instinctively backed away–but she was already on the sofa and had nowhere else to go.
“D–Don’te any closer,” she stammered pitifully.
She clutched her pillow tightly.
Seriously? Just because she didn’t open the door for him, was he really going to eat her alive?
She was terrified…
Victor nced at the cab she’d shoved in front of the door, a faint, deep smile ying at his lips. “Pretty strong.”
That cab was no lightweight.
Tessa’s heart raced in panic. She sniffled and

But after one nce at his expression, she lowered her head, feeling even more wronged.
Seeing her like this brought him a strange sense of satisfaction. He stepped forward and grabbed her off the sofa with one hand.
Like lifting a little bunny–she felt weightless in his grip.
Tessa was scared out of her mind. “Let me go!”
Victor shoved her toward the door. “Go. I want to see how you moved it.”

So he climbed in through the window just to watch her move the cab?
<i>Was </i><i>he </i><i>seriously </i><i>that </i><i>bored</i><i>? </i>
Tessa didn’t want to, but she didn’t dare talk back either. She shot him a pitiful look, then walked over and pushed the cab back to where it belonged.

It had taken effort to drag it over earlier, and now, with Victor standing there watching her with those sharp eyes, it felt even harder.
She struggled for a while before finally getting the cab back into ce.
Then she looked back at Victor, pitifully.
He crossed his arms and chuckled lightly. “You’re not even that strong. Was all that trouble really just to keep me out?”
Tessa: “…<i>” </i><i>Yes</i>. <i>Yes </i>it <i>was</i><i>. </i>
Especially after what Ste told her Abraham had said.
Before she could respond, Victor pulled out his phone and made a call—to Ss.
The line picked up quickly. “Ss. Some of the furniture needs to be reced.”
“Huh? Is it broken?”
Ss sounded confused.

But that didn’t make sense. All the furniture in the house was top–of–the–line. If he’d said he was tired of looking at it, sure. But broken?
Then Victor said something that made Ss go stiff.
Just two words: “Too light.”
<i>What</i><i>? </i>
Was he serious? Did he mean he wanted it reced so she couldn’t move it anymore?
That felt a little unfriendly.
Recing everything with furniture she couldn’t budge–wasn’t that just to stop her from barricading herself?
That was kind of unreasonable.
She was a girl living alone with a man. Was it a crime to have a little sense of personal safety?
Tessa grumbled silently to herself, but she didn’t dare show a hint of dissatisfaction on
her face.

Ss, on the other hand…
He thought he must’ve misheard.
“What did you say?” Too light? What the hell
did that mean?
Victor: “Are you deaf?”
Irritation already crept into his voice.
Ss: “Ah–no, no. I’ll change it right away.”
Didn’t matter if he heard right or not. Didn’t matter how absurd the reason was. If the boss said it, it was happening.
“I’ll get on it now. Don’t worry.”
Ss hung up quickly–he wanted to keep his ears intact.
Once the call ended, it was just Tessa and Victor again. She stood beside the cab, looking awkwardly at him.
Victor sat down on the sofa. “Come here.”
Tessa still held her pillow tightly. When she heard that, she hugged it even harder.

Clearly, Victor had left quite the
psychological scar on her these past few days.
Seeing the fear on her face, Victor’s smile disappeared, reced by a chilling coldness.
“Hm?”
That one syble alone made Tessa feel the danger in his voice more vividly.
For a moment, she actually considered bolting for the door.
But she didn’t dare…
Under Victor’s watchful eye, where could she possibly run?
The pressureing off him was icy and intense. Tessa’s heart was pounding. “We can just talk like this. You can hear me.”
She took another step back after thest few words.

Victor raised an eyebrow. <i>Her </i><i>courage </i><i>really </i><i>was </i><i>tiny</i>. He hadn’t even said anything yet and she was already this scared?
Then he thought of what Ss had found during his investigation.
ording to those files, she hadn’t been this timid back in Port City.
Must’ve been all the chaos she’d been throughtely—it had shaken her to the
core.
Seeing Victor stay silent, Tessa finally spoke, stammering a bit. “Actually… I have something I want to ask you.”
She was scared, but some things needed to be rified.
Her voice was small, but she still dared to ask.
Victor’s stern expression softened into a smirk. “Ask.”
Tessa: “Why did you tell Abraham… that you liked me?<b>” </b>
