Chapter 729 A Coincidental Reunion
Tess let out a cold, mockingugh. “Why did you stop looking?”
Finn’s ears flushed red without him realizing it.
“I thought you were asleep,” he said, pressing his thin lips together.

“So that’s your excuse for sneaking looks at me? If you were going to stare, you could at least have the decency to hide it. Afraid ! wouldn’t notice?”
Tess was almost amused into anger.
Finn couldn’t hide his guilt. He waited for a while, and when there was no movement beside him, he couldn’t help lifting his gaze again.
Only to find Tess with her arms crossed, staring straight at him.
Caught red–handed again.
Finn’s expression stiffened.
“Talk. How did you know I was flying to Aetheris at this time?”
Tess snorted.
Finn instinctively tried to deny it. “I didn’t. It was a coincidence.”
“A coincidence?”
Tess echoed the word, then burst outughing. The next moment, the smile vanished. “Do you think I believe that?”
Finn’s scalp prickled.
He didn’t know when it had started, but Tess seemed to have grown thorns, all of them aimed squarely at him.
Well, wasn’t that a kind of special treatment too?
Finn straightened up and slipped back into his usual polished, shamelessposure.
“I did ask around deliberately.”
Tess had already expected that, so she showed no reaction.
“I went to Kingnd because of you. Naturally, I followed you back. There’s nothing hard to understand about that.”
At those words, Tess’s earlier calm shattered. She straightened, her gaze traveling up and down Finn’sposed face.
She was genuinely curious how he could say something so brazen without a trace of shame.
“That’s stalking. It’s illegal. Do you know that?”
Her tone was cold and stern.

“Yes,” Finn replied, nodding
Tess was so angry she couldn’t evenugh. Shock filled her eyes
Noticing her reaction, Finn replied coolly. “Once the nends in Aetheris, even if you call the police, no one dare ie the case”
Power was being wielded without restraint.
Tess rolled her eyes, pulled down her eye mask, and leaned her head to the side. She curled herself into the left corner of this seat clearly trying to keep as much distance from Finn as possible.
They didn’t exchange another word until the nended.
As soon as Tess got off the ne, she received a call from the person who had been assigned to help with her luggage
His voice was urgent and apologetic, with the re of car horns audible in the background. “There’s a traffic jam, Ms. Tess Wald you mind waiting at the airport?”
Tess checked the time. It was indeed rush hour, hardly something he could control. “How long will it take?”
“Given the situation… about two hours.”
“Turn back,” Tess said, ending the call.
She turned off her phone screen and blocked Finn’s path. “If I don’t call the police, charging you a smallpensation seems fair, doesn’t it?”
Finn’s brow twitched slightly, as if considering her intent. He didn’t hesitate long before nodding readily, “Of course.”
“Come with me.”
The two of them went to the baggage im. Once Finn had located the five suitcases and tworge bags, Tess pped her hands in satisfaction. “Then I’ll trouble Mr. Lock to deliver these to Evermount Heights.”
Cradling La, she walked off with unrestrained ease.
Zane, who had already been waiting at the airport, froze when he saw the scene. His dignified CEO, dressed in a bespoke suit tailored specially by a doctor, had turned into a diligent porter.
The contrast was jarring.
As Zane stepped forward, he was immediately driven back by a sharp look from his boss.
Fine. He would stay out of it.
Having made up his mind, Zane grabbed Finn’s suitcase, climbed into the car, and headed straight for Evermount Vi.
Tess quickly hailed a taxi with La in her arms. Finn was left standing in the cold wind, burdened with bags and suitcases
Before the car pulled away, Tess deliberately rolled down the window. “Everything inside is documented. If even one item gees missing, Mr. Lock, you’ll bepensated at full value.”

She wagged her finger lightly. The tinted window slid back up.

Finn stood alone in the cold wind, disheveled. Meanwhile, Zane, who had just arrived at Evermount Vi, was called back by a phone call.
“Mr. Lock, how did you-”
Once inside the car, Zane couldn’t help voicing his confusion.
Those five suitcases had required him to enlist another person and an extra car just to load them.
“Drive,” Finn said coldly, shooting him a nce.
Zane immediately fell silent.
They sped toward Evermount Heights, arriving just in time to see the taxi Tess had taken pulling away.
The closer they got, the clearer it became. Tess was standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
As soon as the car stopped, Finn took off his suit jacket and walked toward her, pain evident in his eyes. “You didn’t have to wait for me. The wind is strong. Don’t let yourself or the baby get cold.”
Tess stepped back at once, her gaze strange.
Finn’s outstretched hand froze in midair.
The air turned stiff and awkward.
Just then, Bessie appeared out of nowhere and briskly draped a thick fur coat over Tess’s shoulders.
