The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 598 Dead Man Playing Poker

Tessa quickly changed the subject–her mother was still her biggest concern.

Stella said, “I think you should just talk to Victor directly.”

“Huh?”

“If I go ask, he’ll end up making Victor look into it anyway.”

That…

Stella gave Tessa a look–she didn’t want to be too blunt, but still said it: “Honestly, maybe that’s for the best. I used to think you and Victor were from totally different worlds, but fate really is strange like that.”

Tessa’s world had fallen into chaos… and somehow, she ended up standing right beside Victor.

It was like he’d been sent from above–a knight meant to protect her. Right when everything was crashing down, being with Victor had become her safest haven.

Stella stayed a while longer, talking Tessa through it, helping her sort through her emotions.

This was her life now–she had to learn how to live it.

When Stella left Victor’s estate, it was already past 1 PM.

Her stomach was growling. “Seriously, Victor really only hires one cook? What’s that about?”

Abraham held her close and fed her a few snacks. Stella happily munched away.

“Did you make things clear to Tessa?” he asked gently.

“Huh? About what?”

“That she should go to Victor from now on.”

So that’s what he meant?

Stella rolled her eyes. “She’s a girl, you know.”

Did this man really not know how to separate jealousy from common sense?

Abraham didn’t respond–he just handed her another snack.
