Chapter 565 The Real Cost

Tessa would completely fall apart living Victor’s kind of life.

Abraham said, “Tessa’s future isn’t going to be much different. They’re about the same.”

About the same?

Stella’s chest tightened. Letting Tessa live the way Victor does?

Finished

“And besides, Tessa already said she’d marry him. He didn’t even say yes. There has to be something else going on.”

Abraham looked up. “Tessa said she wanted to marry Victor?”

“Yeah.”

Stella nodded. Her head was still spinning from all the chaos around the two of them. Everything was so messy it made her brain feel like sludge.

“By the way, do you know something about Ashen Pact? From the way you talk about it, it sounds way worse than I thought.”

Abraham’s phone rang. He checked the caller ID, then hung up without answering. “We need to go.”

Always with the mystery.

So Victor really did want Tessa? But if that were true, then why didn’t he just say yes when she offered to marry him?

Why all this back–and–forth that made everything even more confusing?

And honestly, Stella wasn’t fully convinced Victor would even want Tessa.

Compared to all those long–legged women Victor had been surrounded by before, Tessa was definitely on the short–legged side.

Aren’t all men into long legs?

Still thinking it over, Stella got into the car with Abraham. He glanced at her soft white coat and smiled.

“Not bad. You’re finally taking care of yourself.”

She used to refuse anything that covered up a fancy gown. If she was wearing formalwear, it had to be styled to perfection. A coat? Absolutely not.
