Chapter 692 It Is Simply Not Permitted


    Demi suddenly leaned close to Miranda’s car with a mysterious air. “Mom, what does the dream abona? Even if she wants in, doesn’t she still need you and Grandpa’s approval? People from small ces always overestimate themselves. If you tell her the pros and cons, put a little pressure on her, then..”


    Miranda’s fingertips froze.


    Their eyes met, and almost instantly, they understood each other.


    Gideon looked at the two of them and probably realized that they already had a n


    “Since you have a method, handle it quickly,”


    He snorted, his gaze sweeping over the dazzling spread of dishes on the table, feeling, uninterested, and then, leaning on his cane, he trudged back to his room.


    “And Finn came along as well. As long as that Tess woman can get back together with Finn, maybe she won’t bother my foolish son anymore.”


    Miranda bit her lip.


    Demi shook her head. “Tess is now the Larson heiress, and with Abel by her side, why would she ever turn back on such an outstanding man?”


    Hearing this, Miranda’s temper red.


    Yesterday, she had deliberately gone to the airport to intercept Tess, hoping to embarrass her. But instead, she ended up making a fool of herself and losing face.


    She had specifically investigated Tess–a woman from a small, remote city–how did she suddenly be the Larson heiress?


    She swallowed her displeasure with difficulty.


    “Then I don’t care. Even if she won’t turn back, she cannot disrupt my Abel. As his mother, I will not allow such a vulgar, meddlesome woman into the family!”


    Miranda mmed the table, rattling the utensils.


    Demi could only rub her shoulders to calm her down, but a trace of satisfaction glimmered in her eyes behind Miranda’s back.


    She clearly understood how important Tess was to Abel

    Near Abel’s room, there was another adjacent room–essentially his private space. No servant was ever allowed inside, and he cleaned it himself.


    Once, Demi went up to find Abel and identally stepped inside. She was briefly stunned by the scene. The room was filled with countless sculptures and portraits of the same woman.

    Now it seemed that the woman was Tess.

    Abel wasn’t as simple–minded as he appeared. On the contrary, he was extremely calcting, obsessive,


    and stern.


    A man like him, who had loved a woman gradually fading from his memory for so many years, now finally had the chance to stand by her side–how could he ever let that opportunity slip away?


    And that suited Demi perfectly.


    It should be this way.


    Abel, never let Tess go.


    Demi narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, but the expression was

    “Just in time, I’ve arranged to meet Finn. Youe with me.”


    Miranda got up and walked toward the cloakroom.


    Demi hurried to follow.

    Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of a minimalist–style restaurant.


    The moment the receptionist saw them, their eyes lit up, and they respectfully stepped forward, slightly bowing. “Mrs. Shaw, Ms. Shaw, Mr. Lock has specially prepared a private room and is already waiting upstairs on the third floor. Please follow me.”


    Miranda and Demi exchanged a nce and followed.


    On the third floor, when the door opened, Miranda’s eyes immediately fell on the man seated directly opposite.


    Although his face still looked young, the man exuded an unusually calm andmanding aura, giving

    “Sit.”


    Finn lifted his gaze at the sound, his eyes deep, indicating the empty seat directly in front of him.


    Miranda and Demi nodded and sat down, but their gaze remained fixed on Finn.


    Miranda couldn’t help but feel a little sentimental.


    After all this time, he was bing more and more like his mother.

    “Call me Finn.”

    Miranda lowered her gaze.


    Finn raised a slight brow, clearly already aware of what she was about to say. He didn’t respond immediately, idly tapping his fingers on the table, waiting for her to continue.


    “We will try our best to persuade Abel to ensure he won’t continue entangling himself with Tess.”


    Miranda pursed her lips and hesitated, sensing the slightly tense atmosphere.


    “Abel won’t listen to you.”


    Finn finally spoke, and Miranda, just having breathed a small sigh of relief, felt her heart skip a beat under his cold gaze.


    As Abel’s mother, she knew he was right.


    “He is the only heir of the Shaws and the most promising descendant. The Shaws will not allow him to choose Tess as his wife, whether for your reasons or for the family. It is simply not permitted.”
