    Tess sensed the tension the moment it surfaced, like the sharp tang of smoke in the air.


    She frowned slightly and cast a questioning nce at Finn.


    His expression was impassive, his gaze locked on Connor. “About the cooperation between Lock Group and Cavrielle,” he said coolly, “I doubt Mr. Hale would refuse, would he?”


    Connor’s eyes flickered, almost imperceptibly.


    Mr. Dickinson one moment, Mr. Hale the next.


    He smiled faintly. “I’d like to hear more. Or does Mr. Lock simply want to ta me through the family estate?”


    His voice was light, teasing.


    “The study, please.”


    Finn extended a hand, gesturing toward the direction of the room.

    Connor nced at him, the corners of his lips still curved, but said nothing–his silence an


    agreement.


    Tess watched the two men, their words polite yet edged with something unspoken. The atmosphere between them was strange, faintly hostile. Her brows knitted in worry.


    Connor, noticing her unease, gave her a brief shake of the head–a quiet signal not to concern herself.


    Reassured, Tess exhaled and followed Julia outside toward the gardens.


    Roxanne was left behind at the table.


    She clenched her jaw, stabbing her fork into the half–eaten fish before her. The sticks stood upright, trembling slightly, while her re burned with frustration–sharp and petnt enough to draw nces from the servers nearby.


    Meanwhile, Tess and Julia had walked without realizing it into the flowered corridor of the


    estate.


    “If you’re nning to convince me to remarry Finn,” Tess said quietly, “you don’t need to


    waste your


    time.”


    Julia stopped in her tracks. Her shoulders rxed, and she let out a small, ruefulugh.

    Julia’s gaze lingered on her for a moment, then dropped to the baby in her arms. A sigh escaped her.


    “Tess, love is a strange thing,” Julia began. “Sometimes iteste. Don’t you want to try again? I’m Finn’s grandmother–I can see it. The way he looks at you now, I’ve never seen him like that before.”


    Her tone was sincere, almost pleading.


    Tess, by contrast, was calm and detached. She shook her head lightly. “I’m fine a past is over. Let it stay that way.”


    Julia pressed her lips together, realizing that the resolve in Tess’s eyes was far firmer than she’d expected. What she had thought would be a simple persuasion had run into an unyielding wall.


    “And what about La?” Julia tried again. “Do you really want her to grow up without a father? Don’t you want her to have aplete, happy childhood?”


    This time, her voice softened deliberately, her expression heavy with sorrow. She was gambling on a mother’s heart.


    And for a moment, it seemed to work–Tess’s eyes flickered slightly.

    Julia’s pulse quickened. But before she could say more, Tess’s lips curved faintly. She looked down at the baby in her arms, her gaze tender yet unwavering.


    “As long as I’m here, La will have aplete and happy home,” she said softly. “A father’s title isn’t what makes that true.”


    Julia’s breath caught.


    She looked again at La–rosy–cheeked, peaceful in her mother’s arms–and realized Tess wasn’t wrong.


    Under this woman’s care, even without Finn, the child would grow up far better than most.


    Still, Julia’s chest tightened with defiance.


    <i>No. </i>


    La carried the Shaws‘ blood. She couldn’t simply be lost to them.

    “But what about when she goes to school?” Julia pressed on. “Can you be by her side all the time? Without a father, she’ll face gossip, judgment–how much pressure do you think a child can bear?”


    Her voice trembled as if on the verge of tears.


    She tried reason, tried sympathy, but Tess remained unmoved.


    “When La’s old enough to understand,” Tess replied, “I’ll teach her myself. Having a mother is enough. The love she receives won’t be any less than what other children get from both parents. And if anyone dares to humiliate her, she won’t be the one swallow pride. I’ll take responsibility for whateveres after.”


    The meaning was clear enough: whoever dared to talk would be silenced–by wor force.


    Julia’s eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn’t expected such blunt defiance from the gentle,posed woman before her.


    For the first time, Julia found herselfpletely at a loss.


    “You…” she began, then sighed, letting her raised hand fall helplessly to her side.


    Tess inclined her head politely. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my daughter and leave.”


    “Wait.” Julia exhaled, then forced a weary smile. “Why don’t you and La stay at the estate tonight? I won’t be in Aetheris for long, and since you won’t reconcile with Finn, I don’t know when I’ll get to see this little one again. Just stay one night–humor an old woman.” Conclusion

The conversation with Julia had been a battleground of emotions, yet she emerged unscathed, fortified by hermitment to La’s happiness.

In that moment, Tess understood that her strengthy not in the presence of a father, but in the unwavering love she could offer.


    Meanwhile, Julia’s heart ached with a mix of admiration and frustration. She recognized the fierce spirit in Tess, a woman who would go to great lengths to protect her child. Yet, the longing for connection to the Shaw lineage gnawed at her, igniting a quiet desperation to see La embraced by her father’s family. As she watched Tess cradle the baby, a flicker of understanding passed between them—two women bound by love, yet separated by their convictions. In the stillness of the estate, amidst the fragrant blooms of the garden, both women faced the uncertain future, aware that their choices would shape not just their lives, but the legacy of the child they both cherished.What to Expect in Next Chapter?
