The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 391 Going Out

Tessa had already taken her seat at the dining table. Feeling the man’s gaze on her, she nearly buried her whole face in her bowl. She didn’t dare face someone like Victor–someone who could casually strip another person’s clothes without blinking an eye.

He was dangerous. Even from a distance, Victor could sense the tension radiating from Tessa.

Lighting a cigarette, he took a drag and asked, “Did you lock your door last night?” His voice broke the silence.

Tessa’s hand trembled as she held the spoon, which dropped straight into her bowl. She nodded nervously. “Yeah.”

Victor looked at her. Smoke curled in the air, blurring his expression, but Tessa could still feel the weight of his stare pressing down on her.

She didn’t dare speak again. Her hand shaking, she fished the spoon out of the bowl, scooped some porridge, and fed it into her mouth.
