Marie fell silent. Wait, how does that even conflict?

Besides, she wasn’t gossiping; so why did Victor make it sound like he was scolding a nosy little. kid?

She pouted. “Then I… fine, fine, I won’t ask anymore, okay?”

Sensing Victor’s impatience, Marie hung up immediately.

Maybe it was the way Victor had been holding the phone that made Tessa restless in his arms; she kept shifting, trying to find a comfortable position.

Victor ended the call and firmly pressed her small head against his shoulder; instantly, Tessa went still.

The truth was, Victor only kept it short with Marie because he didn’t want Tessa to be disturbed.

But after that sharp remark, Marie was left completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at Derrick.

“Well?” Derrick asked.

“He said, am I that free? What’s that supposed to mean?”

All she’d asked was whether the person in his arms had been a woman–whether it was Tessa! He could’ve just answered her, but instead he had to scold her…

She was furious!

Marie’s temper flared.

Derrick went quiet.

“Hey! I was the one frantically searching for Tessa not long ago, terrified he’d go to war with my brother over her. Now what the heck does this mean?”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Do you even know the people closest to him?” Derrick asked.

“Of course. I know Lewis and Silas.”

“Call them.”
