Chapter 168 Let’s Make it Real
Tess’s arms broke out in goosebumps, and before she could say a word…
“Mmph…”
Her eyes widened in surprise.
One hand sharply pinched her cheek, while the other locked firmly around her waist.
Finn’s deep gaze drilled into hers, sharp enough to pierce right through her.

His strength, though careful not to hurt her, felt as if he wanted to press her right into his bones and blood.
Finn leaned in dangerously close.
“If you want to pretend, why not make it convincing?”
His tone was cold butced with teasing.
Before Tess could react, Finn suddenly leaned in again, his mouth capturing hers in a quick, firm kiss. Their lips pressed together, and his tongue pushed for control.
Realizing he meant to take the kiss further, Tess snapped at him, “Let … go of me!”
She pushed at him, but his solid frame didn’t move an inch.
Through the floor–to–ceiling windows, their intimate and tangled posture could be seen. Those little movements, now and then, only deepened the lingering, breathless tension.
Tess truly panicked this time, but Finn refused to let her break free.
His arms <i>squeezed </i>tighter around her slim waist.
Her waist was soft, almost like a tuft of cotton.
A glint shed in Finn’s <i>eyes</i><i>, </i>and his grip tightened just a little more.
Heat spread through his hands, sending a shiver up her spine. Tess froze, breath caught, her wide eyes locked on his.
“Finn …

Finn’s stare grew more intense, the silence between them broken only by the sound of their uneven breaths.
In the next instant, his hand moved to the back of her head, pressing, holding her still. The move was domineering, inescapable.
A long, consuming kiss followed.
“Let … mmph … go!”
Her mouth was trapped beneath his, her resistance useless, managing only a few faint words.
“Isn’t this what you wanted to show him?”
Finn finally eased his aggressive kissing, his eyes narrowing as they shifted toward the windows below.
Tess froze, then instinctively turned her head to the side.
Not far away stood Abel, his eyes–once filled with mocking amusement–now dark and devoid of any sparkle.
His fist was clenched tight at his side.
A sudden ache struck Tess’s chest. Hershes trembled before she quickly lowered her gaze.
But that fleeting, tangled emotion in her eyes did not escape Finn’s notice.
His <i>eyes </i>narrowed, and a cold feeling seemed to spread from him.
He gripped her chin and pulled her closer, making the kiss even more intense.
When Tess nced over <i>her </i>shoulder, she noticed Nadine standing not far from Abel.
While Abel Shaw still looked calm, Nadine’s expression was openly unpleasant, her face was undisguisedly ugly, almost twisted.
From behind, two fierce stares <i>bore </i>into them, making Tess’s heart uneasy. In that distraction, her lips opened slightly.
Finn caught this small slip and pressed the kiss even deeper.

Abel stood frozen, his eyes burning with a fury that threatened to tear him apart. But the moment he heard footsteps halt behind him, the emotion vanished as quickly as it had red, leaving only cool detachment in his gaze.
“Do you like Tess?”
Boiling with anger, Nadine suddenly thought about joining forces with the man before her.
Abel didn’t even lift his head. “Why does that matter to you?”
The warmth and charm he once showed Tess were gone–now Abel was like a tall, unreachable mountain seen from afar, cold and intimidating.
Nadine felt her chest tighten for reasons she couldn’t exin, but as the two people above kept holding each other, her eyes reddened, and she seemed ready to take <i>a </i>big risk. “I can work with you. After all, once she divorces Finn, you’ll be free to go after her.”
She met Abel’s eyes with certainty.
Atst, he reacted, tilting his head toward her. “Huh?”
When their eyes locked, a sudden chill ran down Nadine’s spine.
Atst, someone noticed them.
“Ms. Nadine, Mr. Shaw, what are you looking at?”
The neer, holding two skewers of grilled meat, was about to see what they were staring at when Nadine forced a stiff smile and grabbed his arm. “Nothing at all. Let’s go join the celebration …
”
She quickly steered the conversation away, making sure the neer hadn’t caught sight of the scene near the window, then exhaled in quiet relief.
Almost hurrying out of the area, Nadine’s face–so used to wearing a fake smile–showed a darker, unpleasant look now that no one was watching.
She didn’t even nce toward Finn as she left, her averted eyes still holding a faint hint of fear.
Nadine quickened her pace.
