She nced at Finn, then stepped back to her orginal spot.
“Thank you.”
After a long moment, Finn finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse.

The maid was clearly stunned, and after she realized what he’d said, she looked even more surprised.
<i>Thank </i><i>you</i><i>? </i>
Her face couldn’t hide her shock as she lowered her eyes and happened to see Finn give her a small nod.
She felt both flustered and honored.
In her memory, Finn had always been cold, even arrogant and heartless, but now, his eyes were sincere, and there was even something like respect in his gaze.
The maid rubbed her hands together. “It’s nothing, really.”
Finn let out a quiet hum and said nothing more, lowering his head as if lost in thought.
The room slowly returned to silence.
Outside the door, Julia was still cleaning up after what had just happened.
Roxanne lifted her chin and snorted at Tess before taking off at a run.
“She’s been spoiled by the family all her life. That’s just her temper,” Julia said helplessly, looking at Tess with eyes full of both affection and pity.
“You’ve really been wronged today.
“And Mr. Dickinson, I apologize again for Finn’s rudeness toward you.”
Before she could even bend down properly, Tess had already moved to help her up.
“Finn has already apologized for what he did. This has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to apologize for them.”
Tess shook her head, her expression serious.
Julia held her gaze for a long while, then let out soft sigh. “Ah… to be honest, I really like

you, dear. It’s just a shame…”
Her voice was full of regret as she gently patted he back of Tess’s hand.

Judging by how Tess had reacted today, no matter how much she tried to force things between her and Finn, it probably wouldn’t work out.
Tess smiled lightly but didn’t respond to her hin. Instead, she said, “There’s nothing to regret. La is still your great–granddaughter.”
Hearing that, Julia seemedforted. She reached out and gently poked La’s chubby cheek, her eyes crinkling as she smiled, and her whole body rxed. “That’s right. I still have La, my good girl.”
Downstairs looked warm and cheerful, while Roxanne, who was upstairs, stared at the four of them, wishing her eyes could turn into des and stab into Tess again and again.
After ring at Tess long enough, her gaze shifted and locked onto La instead.
Julia was holding the child at the moment, and both Connor’s and Tess’s eyes were on her <ol start="100"><li>100. </li></ol>
That little bastard <i>who </i><i>doesn’t </i>even <i>have </i><i>a </i><i>fully </i>formed mind <i>yet</i>, <i>and </i><i>she </i><i>already </i><i>gets </i><i>to </i><i>live </i><i>like </i><i>she’s </i>the center <i>of </i><i>the </i><i>world</i><i>? </i>
Roxanne felt like her chest was a pile of dry wood, while Tess and her daughter were sparks. One small touch, and everything would go up in mes.
She’s <i>just </i><i>a </i><i>kid</i><i>. </i>
She clenched her fingers tightly.
What’s <i>so </i><i>special </i>about <i>her</i>? <i>Once </i><i>I </i><i>get </i>Finn, <i>I </i><i>can </i><i>give </i><i>him </i><i>as </i><i>many </i><i>kids </i><i>as </i><i>he </i><i>wants</i><i>! </i><i>When </i><i>I </i><i>give </i>birth to <i>a </i><i>son</i><i>, </i>I bet <i>Julia </i>won’t <i>even </i><i>spare </i><i>a </i><i>nce </i><i>at </i><i>that </i><i>little </i><i>bastard </i><i>anymore</i><i>! </i>
Thinking that way finally gave Roxanne a bit offort.
She let out a cold snort, exhaled harshly, and turned back to her room.
The second she dropped onto the soft bed, her thoughts drifted, and Finn’s pale, fragile face from earlier crept into her mind.
She’d heard that the reason Tess had ever had a one–night stand with Finn back then was because…
Roxanne’s eyes shifted, and a sharp light flickered inside them.

Dickinson Residence,
Marc sat on the couch in boredom, flipping through channel after channel on TV, none of them holding his interest. He finally tossed his phone aside.
“Gosh, Connor is something else. Tess tells him to leave, and he just leaves, no hesitation at all. Now I’m stuck at home alone, and I still have to keep an eye on you two instead of being allowed to go out.”
Nichs and Rachel shared awkward smiles, both a little embarrassed as they pulled in their shoulders.
Seeing how obedient and stiff they looked, Marc sighed again.
“Forget it.”
He stood up and nced at them. “I’m going out for a walk. If I stay here any longer, I’m gonna lose my mind.”
<i>We </i><i>were </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>switch </i><i>shifts </i><i>today</i><i>. </i><i>Connor </i><i>is </i><i>supposed </i><i>to </i><i>babysit </i><i>them </i><i>instead</i><i>! </i>
“If anything happens, just call the staff. You’re not allowed to go out. Someone’s definitely watching outside, just waiting for you to show your faces.”
Marc stretchedzily. He looked carefree, but his warning was unexpectedly thorough.
The two of them nodded. “Don’t worry. We know we’re in danger right now. We’re just grateful that you two and Ms. Tess are helping us.”
They were sincere, their faces full of real gratitude.
Marc nced again at the tall walls around them nted his hands on his hips, and nodded. “Alright. You stay inside. I’ll be back after a bit.”
With that, he dashed out the <i>door </i>like a burst of wind.
<i>Oh</i><i>, </i><i>yeah</i><i>! </i>Freedom!
Marc ran off happily, disappearing in an instant.
Rachel stared at the spot where he vanished and sighed, lost in thought. “If we hadn’t crossed Henry in the first ce, maybe Ken wouldn’t have had to live on the run because of us. He should’ve been able to live like that too… carefree and bright.”
Nichs stepped closer and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “Ms. Tess is willing to
