Chapter 681 Wee to Kingnd?
Miranda hit the table again, but this time it wasn’t as loud. It felt more like regret than anger,
Demi stepped closer, rubbing her shoulder gently to help her calm down. “Feeling regret now <b>won’t </b>change anything. Since Tess ising to Kingnd, we have a chance to see her ourselves.
Miranda’s tension slowly faded. She looked up sharply at Demi.
Their eyes met in the quiet room.
Miranda pressed a hand to her chest. “Do you mean…”
Demi gave a soft, teasing smile. “Abel’s grown up. He’s not the little boy who used to follow you around. Now, he’s the golden boy in the city. Even if we argue, with his temper, it won’t work. So why not try a different approach?”
Miranda’s eyebrows furrowed, and she understood exactly what Demi meant.
od exactly what Demi meant.
“When does Abel get here?” she asked, pressing her lips together.
“Around 10 tonight,” Demi replied.
“Then we’ll pick him up ourselves. And we’ll see what kind of woman could make our two young ones fall so hard for her.”
Miranda let out a coldugh, her eyes sharp and icy.
Demi’s smile grew. “Okay. I’ll get ready.”
She left the room, and as soon as the door closed, her smile disappeared, leaving only a cold stare.
<i>Abel</i><i>, </i><i>catching </i><i>you </i><i>off </i><i>guard </i><i>is </i><i>never </i><i>easy</i>.
<i>But </i><i>you’re </i><i>giving </i><i>me </i><i>the </i><i>chance </i><i>now</i>.
She lifted her chin, standing tall and proud, carrying the confident air of someone used to being in charge.
Ten o’clock.
Theynded in Kingnd.
The night air was colder here than in Aetheris, especially at night.
“Why are you wearing so little?”
As soon as they stepped off the ne, Tess wrapped her arms around herself to stay warm. Abel noticed right away and draped his cashmere coat over her shoulders.

She instinctively tried to refuse<b>, </b>but his hand on her shoulder stopped her he wasn’t <b>letting </b><b>her </b>argue
Abel said, “It’s not just you. You’ve got La too.”
His eyes fell on the child in her arms.
Tess paused for a moment.
“Aren’t you cold?” she asked, ncing up at him with concern.
“No, it’s fine.”
He gave her a crooked smile and tugged the coat cor tighter around her neck.
Tess held La closer, feeling the warmth from the coat spread across her back.
“Tsk, tsk. Getting all cozy, you two?”
A softugh came from behind them.
Violet appeared behind them, her eyes teasing as she looked the two over.
Tess felt her face warm, a little embarrassed. Abel, on the other hand, didn’t seem fazed at all.
“Good choice of words,” he said with a grin, clearly proud of himself.
Violet had only been joking, but she hadn’t expected Abe to be this bold.
Forget it. If she kept teasing, he would just run with it.
“The Shaws and the Larsons are waiting outside. Once you walk out, you’ll each go your separate ways,” she said, her yful expression fading into seriousness.
Hearing that, Abel’s joking mood disappeared. The fearless guy suddenly seemed a little uneasy.
“Kingnd isn’t that big. It’s just a short split,” he said, trying to act casual, but Violet noticed a tiny flicker of worry in his eyes.
As they spoke, a cold wind blew past them. They had reached the airport exit.
“Abel!”
A woman’s voice rang out sharply.
Abe’s brows furrowed the moment he heard it. The usually cheerful guy suddenly looked serious.
Demi acted as if nothing had happened and stepped forward with a bright smile.
“You’ve been in Aetheris for days. Mom and I missed you,” she said, moving slightly to the side.
Abel froze when he saw who was behind her.

“Wee to Kingnd,” Miranda said.
Her smile barely reached her eyes, which stayed cold and calm.
Abel went on guard automatically.
<i>Wee </i><i>to </i>Kingnd?
No matter how Abel heard it, the words didn’t seem meant for him.
Sure enough, when he looked at Miranda, he saw her eyes go straight past him to Tess.
Tess frowned slightly, but she caught herself, not wanting to be rude.
“Hello, Mrs. Shaw,” Violet spoke first, greeting her.

Miranda followed the voice, and when her eyes met Violet’s, her smile finally softened. “Hi, Ms. Larson,” she said warmly.
“Where are Mrs. Larson and Mr. Larson?”
Miranda turned slightly, scanning behind her, but didn’t see anyone else.
“They’re older now. They went ahead,” Violet said with a small, easy smile.
Miranda nodded thoughtfully, but couldn’t help her gaze drifting back to Tess.
The way she looked at her made Tess increasingly uneasy, like each nce carried weight.
