Victor’s expression was equally beyond words…

In the past, they had all assumed that this woman, who had managed to evade the Ashen Pact’s relentless pursuit for years, must be some kind of formidable powerhouse.

As it turned out, she was just a comedian?!

Norris couldn’t listen to another second of it and promptly led Diana away.

Now that Tessa was safe, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. This incident had stirred up quite a few powerful figures; Norris’s men were currently still working with Abel’s team, determined to hunt down Manny once and for all.

Once everyone had cleared out, Tessa sat there happily gnawing on a piece of pineapple. “Mmm! This is so good.”

After those few miserable hours in Manny’s clutches, she was finally able to eat. Her small face was a mask of pure satisfaction.

Lewis: “…”

What exactly is in Tessa’s belly? Why is she such a glutton?

While Tessa was happily eating, Victor looked like he was on the verge of retching. The more she ate, the more he wanted to throw up!

Rianne’s medicine was working, but it wasn’t a total cure. At best, he could suppressing it was its own kind of torture…

urge, but

Finally, as Tessa took another juicy bite of the pineapple, an image flashed through Victor’s mind of the prickly, hairy skin of a pineapple being shaved off. That was the breaking point. He stood up abruptly and bolted for the bathroom.

Lewis: “…”

Tessa continued to eat with gusto. She loved the sweet and sour tang of the pineapple; it made her feel much more relaxed.

“Is Victor feeling sick again?” Lewis asked.

Tessa froze mid–bite, looking up. “Huh? Is he throwing up again?”

“Yes,” Lewis nodded.

He really felt for his boss… the mighty, domineering Victor, reduced to morning sickness! Could anyone explain what kind of twisted logic this was?

The moment Tessa heard Victor was vomiting, she dropped the pineapple and hurried to the bathroom.

Victor’s stomach was in knots. That churning sensation was so intense he couldn’t push it down.

Tessa gently patted his back.

“Get out,” Victor managed to choke out.

“It’s awful, isn’t it? You’ve worked so hard…” Tessa sighed.

She honestly had no idea what morning sickness actually felt like. Since she got pregnant, she had felt a little nauseous at first, but that feeling had vanished within two days. Yet here was Victor, practically losing his soul over the toilet.

Tessa felt incredibly sorry for him.

Over at Stella’s place, she had already received news that Tessa was found and had returned to Victor’s side unharmed. The weight that had been pressing on her heart finally lifted.

Now, she listened to Tessa prattle on over the phone while eating. “That Manny is just a bit poor. He had nothing to eat at all. No wonder he’s so desperate to steal the Ashen Pact back.”

“If he doesn’t get it back, he won’t even have lunch money. He’s just acting out because he’s broke.”

As Stella listened to her chatter, her lip couldn’t help but twitch.

“How do you know Manny is poor?”

Please. She had just been rescued from the man’s grasp, and her only complaint was… that he was broke? Shouldn’t she be talking about how cruel he was, or how he threatened her? This topic of conversation… was a bit bizarre, wasn’t it?

“He only had barbecue,” Tessa complained. “No buffet, no iced juice. Nothing.”

Stella: “…”

…

Wait. My brain is a bit scrambled. I need a moment to process this.

“You… you were kidnapped by him, right?” Stella asked.

“Doesn’t kidnapping include meals?” Tessa countered.

Regardless, as long as Tessa was back safe, that was all that mattered. She had been truly terrified that something terrible would happen.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up. When Abraham returned, he saw Stella putting her phone down. He walked toward her, shedding his coat.
