    **Chapter 583 Shadows of Regret**


    “Finn, we’re no longer married. I neither have the obligation nor the right to meet Julia. You need to tell her the truth,” Tess stated firmly, pressing her lips together as if sealing away any further protest.


    As anticipated, silence enveloped the line, stretching out ufortably.


    After what felt like an eternity, Finn finally replied, his voice strained. “I told her you wouldn’t want to see her. But she insisted. She believes that even though we’re divorced, she still has the right to meet you.”


    Tess narrowed her eyes, taken aback by Julia’s tenacity. With a frustrated sigh, she ran her fingers through her hair, tousling the strands as her thoughts raced.


    Yes, they were divorced, but it was Julia who had orchestrated their marriage with such fervor. If she were to decline this meeting, it would feel like an act of ingratitude, a dismissal of the efforts Julia had poured into their union.


    Perhaps it would be best to meet her—then, in a fitting moment, she could reveal the truth about the divorce.


    Tess sighed softly, the weight of the decision settling heavily in her chest. “When is Julia arriving in Aetheris?”


    “This afternoon,” Finn replied, his words clipped and to the point. Yet Tess sensed a flicker of excitement lurking beneath the surface of his calm demeanor. Shaking her head, she chided herself for reading too much into it.


    “Just tell me the time. I’ll go to the airport and pick her up.”


    This way, she could address everything during the drive, steering clear of any unnecessary prolonging of the situation.


    “She’s already on the ne,” Finn interjected quickly. “I don’t know her exactnding time. She’s unreachable right now.”


    He was all too aware of Tess’s intentions, and there was no way he’d allow her to navigate this situation so easily.


    “Julia wants to have a calm talk with you. She’ll likely be exhausted uponnding, so it’s better to let her rest first. Come to the Lock family estate tonight. She specifically asked me to convey that to you.”


    Finn’s fist clenched slightly, his heartbeat quickening at the thought.


    “The estate?”


    Tess’s voice dripped with skepticism, her toneced with irony.


    In the entire span of their marriage, she had scarcely set foot in that ce—yet now, after the divorce, Julia was extending an invitation.


    “She also wants to see La.”


    The mention of her daughter stilled Tess’s racing thoughts.


    Despite everything that had transpired between her and Finn, La remained his daughter. If Julia wished to see her granddaughter, Tess couldn’t rightfully turn her away.


    “Alright,” she finally conceded, “but we won’t be staying overnight.”


    It was a minor concession, yet to Finn, it felt monumental.


    “Great. I’ll inform you the moment her flightnds,” he replied, barely able to suppress the eagerness in his voice.


    “Alright.”


    As the call ended, the oppressive gloom that had shadowed Finn for days seemed to dissipate, leaving a glimmer of hope in its wake.


    Across from him, Julia stood with her arms crossed, a satisfied smirk gracing her features.


    “Don’t stay at the office this afternoon,” she ordered briskly. “Head to the estate and prepare it. Make sure someone cleans your mother’s old room too.”


    Finn’s brow furrowed in confusion, the small smile that had emerged from Tess’s agreement fading into uncertainty.


    “But she said she’s not staying at the estate,” he reminded her gently, trying to maintain some semnce of reason.


    Julia rolled her eyes in exasperation. “She said that. Do you honestly believe her? The estate is quite a drive from Evermount Vi. If it getste, do you think she’ll take the child out into the night? Use your brain. Honestly, how do you even manage apany?”


    She let out an irritated snort, scrutinizing her grandson as if he were a puzzle she couldn’t quite solve.


    Can’t even keep his wife and child, she thought, annoyance ring within her.


    Finn’s lips twitched, and he replied, “That might not be appropriate.”


    Julia’s expression darkened, her hands nted firmly on her hips as she red at him. “Inappropriate? Finn, you lost your wife. I’m trying to help you win her back, and you’re worried about manners? When both your wife and child are gone, let’s see how appropriate you feel then!”


    Her sharp voice echoed through the room, causing Finn to instinctively recoil. Yet her words lingered in the air, heavy and unyielding.


    No Tess. No La. What kind of existence would that be?


    “I understand,” he said quietly, his tone resolute.


    Julia’s re softened, morphing into a look of approval. “Good. Now go prepare everything.”


    Meanwhile, Tess was blissfully unaware of the machinations brewing between Finn and Julia. She simply felt it would be rude to visit without bringing something. sping La’s hand, she made her way to the mall, intent on selecting some thoughtful gifts.


    It had been far too long since she had the luxury of spending an entire day with her daughter, and the rare tranquility of the moment filled her with an odd sense of contentment.


    “Hello—”


    “Wrap that up for me, please.”


    Just as Tess spotted a stunning red jade bracelet, a crisp, confident voice sliced through the air behind her.Conclusion
