Chapter 682 You Shouldn’t Have Come
“So, you’re… Tess Ember, right?”
She stepped closer, looking straight at Tess and smiling.

Tess noticed something behind the smile, but since this was Abel’s mother, she stayed polite. “Yes. You must be Mr. Shaw’s mom. I’ve heard a <i>lot </i>about you.”
She nodded slightly.
Miranda lifted her chin, acting like she deserved the respect.
Violet watched quietly, noticing the small gestures and frowning a little.
“I didn’t think you’de this time, so I didn’t tell the servant to prepare a guest room. Why don’t you go to a nearby hotel and rest first?”
Her eyes curved gently, and she looked kind enough, but the words she said left Tesspletely confused.
“Mom, Tess isn’t staying with us. She’s going to the Larson Estate.”
Abel saw that his mother was trying to make things hard for Tess and stepped in front of her.
When Miranda heard that, her face turned cold. “Abel, I know you can be stubborn, but you can’t drag Ms. Larson into your problems!”
Her tone was harsh, and she looked at Tess with clear disgust.
“Waaah!”
The sudden shout made sleepy La, in Tess’s arms, start screaming loudly.
Miranda froze. She looked at Tess’s arms and noticed the baby tucked under a thick coat, her elbow slightly bent.
<i>Where </i><i>did </i><i>this </i><i>child </i><ie </i><i>from</i><i>? </i>
Her eyes went wide.
<i>Finn’s</i>?
<i>This </i><i>woman </i><i>actually </i><i>brought </i><i>her </i><i>and </i><i>Finn’s </i><i>child </i><i>here</i><i>, </i><i>too</i>? <i>What </i><i>is </i><i>she </i><i>nning</i><i>? </i>
In just a few seconds, Miranda’s imagination ran wild. She pictured Tess as a calcting woman, wing her way up the socialdder.
“Mom, Tess is part of the Larsons. It’s normal for her to go with Ms. Larson,” Abel said.
He frowned, trying to push away the suspicion already taking shape in Miranda’s mind.

But Miranda only felt her anger grow. Seeing her son, who had always been a bit naughty but obedient, talk back in public almost made her lose her senses.
“Abel,e home with me!”
She stared at him like a warning that if he said no, their mother–son rtionship could break.
Abel tried to exin, but she wasn’t listening.
She thought he’d lost his mind–falling for a divorced woman with a child! And with his uncle involved,
too.
To her, he was just blinded by love. Everything he said sounded like lines he had practiced.
Abel looked at Miranda, frustrated that she wouldn’t listen to him. Then he nced at Demi, standing quietly to the side. She smiled faintly, clearly enjoying the scene.
“Yeah, Abel, don’t make Mom worry,” Demi said.
Her smile disappeared quickly, but her eyes still held a small challenge.
Abel felt his frustration boil.
Next, Miranda, unable to hold back any longer, grabbed his wrist.
“Let’s go home!”
She didn’t care about keeping her usual poised, elegant demeanor. Every motion was sharp and forceful.
For the first time, Abel felt his mother’s grip like solid metal.
He tried to shake it off, but it didn’t budge. Only then did he realize how serious it was. Before he knew it, she had dragged him several steps along.
He had to jog a few steps to keep up with her.
“Abel, why couldn’t you like someone else? You have to fall for your uncle’s ex–wife, and a woman with a kid! You’ve gone crazy. If you want a woman that badly, I’ll set you up on a date with one of the city’s richest girls!”
Miranda yanked open the car’s back door and pushed him inside.
Abel had followed her out of respect, but herst words made him struggle hard.
“Mom! I don’t want to!” he shouted.
But Miranda ignored himpletely. She didn’t even care that Demi was still outside. She called to the driver, “Drive! Take us home!”
“Ma’am, Ms. Shaw is still…”

“I said drive!”
Miranda had no patience for anything else. She red sharply at the driver.
The driver didn’t dare say a word and immediately started the car.
A few steps away, Demi watched the car speed off. She clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves.

But she quicklyposed herself, hiding the little flicker of emotion she had shown, and slowly turned to face Tess.
Tess frowned, still staring at the disappearing car, but Demi’s intense gaze pulled her attention back.
“Tess, you shouldn’t havee to Kingnd.”
Demi shook her head, pretending to be worried, her eyes showing a hint of fake sympathy.
“And you really shouldn’t have brought the child with you.”
