His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 420

Tessa replied, "That's fine."

Mike was tending to the fire at the stove, while Wynn was playing with Melody's son, Finn Greene.

When Tessa was done washing all the vegetables and turned around, she saw Wynn and Finn playing together happily. She raised her eyebrow and smiled. "Wynn, I never took you to be the type who likes kids."

Wynn had always maintained a cold expression no matter where she went, exuding a cruel and ruthless pressure in the air around her.

She did not look like the type to like kids.

Wynn held a toy figurine as she played with Finn, replying expressionlessly, "This little thing is quite fun."

Tessa, Melody, and Mike all fell into silence. The atmosphere around them froze, and the awkward silence stretched on.

After a few seconds, Tessa chuckled awkwardly and turned to Melody. "I'm sorry. She's not very sensible with her words, so she doesn't know how to express herself well.

"Please don't take it the wrong way. She didn't mean it like that. What she meant to say is that Finn is really cute."

Melody's lips twitched. "Your friend is quite special."

"She rarely gets the chance to interact with children, so this is new for her," Tessa explained.
