The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 814 Catch Me If You Can

“I saw it,” Silas said flatly.

Lewis sighed. “Ms. Tessa’s really had it rough. When she has kids someday, we’d better make sure to take good care of them.”

Silas went quict. Could they not talk about kids? Every time someone brought that up, he remembered how their boss had kicked him just for mentioning it.

Come to think of it… he is so tall and broad–shouldered, and Tessa was so tiny–what would their kid even look like? Probably small too.

Dale was on the verge of losing it. In the end, thanks to Trevor’s investigation, he finally found out where Victor and Tessa were.

A hundred miles outside of Redwood stood a snowy mountain–Victor had taken Tessa there to ski. That wasn’t a meeting; that was a vacation!

“Head to Echo Peak,” Dale growled through clenched teeth.

It was more than a hundred miles away, but thankfully still within driving distance.

Trevor nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Ever since learning Tessa was with Victor, Dale had been trying everything to see her.

Especially earlier, when he left Black Mountain–Artemis had said softly, “Bring that child back. I’ll accept her.”

Remembering the pain in her voice when she said she’d accept Tessa, Dale felt a fresh wave of guilt.

At, Echo Peak, Tessa looked at the snow–covered slopes, darting around the field happily.

“This is amazing! There’s actually snow here. I thought this place never got any!”

During her time in Redwood, the weather hadn’t been all that cold. She never imagined there’d be a snowy mountain nearby.

Victor watched her, amused. His usually cold, stoic face softened into the faintest smile.

“You like snow?”
