After saying that, Tess didn’t want to exin further. She pulled a bottle from the diaper bag and began preparing form for La.
Abel no longer had his usual aloof, regal air. He immediately offered to help, his tone gentle. “Let me do it.”
Tess hesitated, but when she met those bright, sincere eyes, she gave in and let him take over. Abel quickly returned with a warm bottle of form, smiling as he brought it to La’s lips. La obviously recognized the person in front of her and opened her little mouth totch onto the bottle with her tiny teeth.
Abel watched her adorable movements with fascination, his heart overflowing.
Just then, Finn stormed into the restaurant with a line of bodyguards behind him. This was the scene he walked in on–Abel bent over while feeding La and Tess looking on with soft eyes, her long hair gently cascading over her shoulders as she held her daughter.
The three of them looked like a peaceful family. It was a picture–perfect moment.
“Tess!”
A thunderous shout shattered the silence.
She heard the heavy thud of leather shoes approaching, each step measured and ominous. A sudden chill ran down her spine.
Tess’s body tensed, while Abel remained rtivelyposed.
He straightened up and said, “Uncle Finn?”
Finn walked right past him, his cold gaze fixed entirely on Tess.
She pressed her lips together tightly and turned her face away. The warmth in the restaurant evaporated instantly. Now, Finn looked like the viin who had ruined everything.
His
eyes darkened visibly, though he tried to hold back the fury boiling inside him. He red coldly at Abel. “So, you remember I’m your uncle? Then you should know who she is!” <fn6446> This update is avable on find?novel</fn6446>
Each word from him struck like an usation, growing more relentless.

The air turned heavy with silence–until Abel shrugged nonchntly. “Aren’t you two about to get divorced anyway?”
After all, their marriage had already reached its end, so what was wrong with him caring for Tess and La? He trusted what Tess had told him. Even if the man in front of him was his own uncle… If Tess said her husband had failed her, then it was only right that someone else treat her better.
Abel thought it through and became even more righteous in his stance.
Finn frowned and let out a coldugh. “Who said we’re getting divorced?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he pulled Tess into his arms without warning.
Tess obviously hadn’t expected his sudden words and actions. She stumbled into his chest, dazed by the sudden movement.
Abel’s
eyes narrowed, a rare intensity recing his usual calm.
The strong scent of tobo filled Tess’s nose–so overwhelming that it made her dizzy.
She blinked, trying to clear her head. Then, she shoved Finn away. Her brows furrowed as she red at him. “I told you–the divorce papers will be delivered to your office any minute now!”
Abel exhaled in visible relief. To his shame, a flicker of hope rose in his chest.
But Finn gripped her slender wrist tightly without letting go, his eyes fixed on Tess with dangerous intensity. His gaze was full of fierce possessiveness.
“I’m not letting that happen!”
Tess was startled by the storm of emotion in his eyes. The next moment, Finn wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, pulling her close as though he wanted to absorb her into himself.
She couldn’t move. Her cheek was pressed against his chest, where she could hear the steady, pounding rhythm of his heart.
She was stunned.

mountaintop–pretty to look at, but nobody could ever get close enough to leave a mark.
Throughout their marriage–aside from that one night he’d been drugged–he had never shown her the slightest warmth and had never lost control like this.
Finn reached out with his other hand, pulling Tess tightly into his embrace as his cold, vignt eyes locked on Abel. “We will never divorce. She will always be my wife, so don’t you dare harbor any fantasies about her,” he dered firmly.
His voice was low and rough, like thunder rumbling in Tess’s ears.
She was still in a daze and only caught a glimpse of Abel’s suddenly ashen and defeated expression before being pulled away.
Tess struggled to break free, but Finn didn’t let go. In one swift motion, he scooped her into his arms.
The restaurant, which had already been cleared, now had only one person standing frozen in ce–Abel.
Zane nced cautiously at Abel’s dark expression, swallowed hard, and strode away.
What a joke! He knew exactly what kind of man Abel really was.
If it were Charles, he might’ve still had the nerve to speak up–but this guy? Not a chance. He wouldn’t dare even if you paid him a million dors!
Zane hunched his shoulders and quickly followed. The moment he got into the driver’s seat, he could feel the stormy tension in the air. It was like lightning about to strike.
Caught in a war of fire and ice, he felt utterly miserable.
Tess was held tightly by Finn in the back seat,pletely restrained in his embrace.
With La still in her arms, Tess didn’t dare make any wild movements. But she struggled as much as she could.
And for the first time since she was released from prison, the ice in her eyes began to melt, revealing something deeper.
