By the door stood a woman in a in nightgown, her face still carrying a trace of sadness.
Finn’s eyes narrowed as he forced out her name. “Tess?<b>” </b>
“Just walking by. Don’t mind me.”
Tess gave a polite smile and turned to leave.
“Tess!”
Something about how calm she was made Finn panic a little. He quickly reached out and grabbed her arm.
“Let go of me.”
Tess stared coldly at his hand, her voice cool and firm.
But it was exactly that quiet calm that made Finn’s heart beat faster.
“The Lock Group is in serious trouble. Nadine was just giving me an update,” he blurted.
“Why are you telling me that?”
Tess turned back, her eyes meeting his like she truly didn’t
get <ol><li>it. </li></ol>
Finn froze.
Her face was unreadable as she nced at them.
But he suddenly felt like he’d lost something.
Since Tess got out of prison, Finn had sensed her pulling further and further away. Now, staring at her cool expression, it finally sank in.
Did she not love him anymore?
Hisshes twitched. He used to hate how clingy she was. But now that she’d let go, all he felt was panic.
“You’re my wife,” he said, locking eyes with her.

She had no right to say anything, but it didn’t stop her from curling her fists, her eyes burning with jealousy.
But she quickly masked it and said, “Tess, don’t misunderstand. We were just talking about work. Finn’s been under a lot of pressure at the office. As his wife, you should try to understand him more.”
Nadine forced an understanding smile.
But Tess didn’t even look at her.
“That title means nothing to me now.”
Her voice was soft, almost like a breeze disappearing into the dark.
With that, she turned around and left resolutely, disappearing into the night.
Finn’s lips parted, but nothing came out. Every word got stuck in his throat.
Nadine quickly covered the flicker of satisfaction in her eyes and put on a worried look.
She tugged at his sleeve gently. “Finn, Tess seems upset. I still have more to report, but I can wait till tomorrow. You should go talk to her.”
Even as she said it, her teary gaze begged him to stay.
But this time, Finn didn’t hesitate. He kept his eyes fixed on the direction where Tess had gone.
Nadine bit her lip when he didn’t look at her.
“Okay.”
This time, Finn didn’t stick around. He gave a quiet reply, then flipped off the study lights.
The room sank into darkness, hiding the stunned look frozen on Nadine’s face.
“You head back first,” he said.
The only thing left behind was the chill in the air and the soft sound of his footsteps fading down the hall, along with a barely audible goodbye.
Once everything went still, Nadine finally realized he had left.

She bit her lip hard, watching helplessly as he walked off in the same direction Tess had gone.
By the time Finn reached Tess‘ door, the front entrance of Evermount Vi had already shut.
He knocked gently, mindful that La was probably sleeping.
Tess didn’t want to disturb La either, so even though she didn’t want to <i>see </i>him, she still opened the door.
She stared coldly at Finn, silently demanding to know why he was there.
“The Lock Group is in trouble. The only shot we have at fixing things is by getting the original draft from Steven fromst year.
“He won’t hand it over unless he talks to you.”
His tone was firm, showing how serious it was.
Tess looked at him for a moment. The dim light softened the sharp lines of his face. He didn’t look as cold or tough as usual.
She kept her gaze on him, then stepped outside and quietly closed the door behind her.
She nced at him and said in a low voice, “Let’s talk outside.”
La was still asleep. Tess didn’t want to risk waking her up.
Finn’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly followed.
But when they stood face to face outside, Tess‘ icy stare hit him like cold water.
“You should start thinking about signing the divorce papers.”
She said it before he could get a word in.
Finn’s expression instantly hardened.
He didn’t hesitate at all and blurted out, “No way.”
His eyes locked onto hers. “If getting your help means I have to divorce you, then don’t bother.”
