The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034 Dense as a Board

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Tessa snapped. “Are you calling me a little chick too?”

Finished

The moment the words left Lewis’s mouth, Tessa was up in arms. How dare he! He just never thinks, and speaks whatever the hell that comes to his mind first!

“No, I didn’t mean… I just…” Lewis stammered.

“Then why are you saying someone my height is a little chick?”

“I meant because of how she looks standing next to Abel!” Lewis defended.

In truth, when Tessa stood in front of Victor, she really did look like a little chick. For a long time, no one understood why Victor had fallen for someone this petite. She was just so tiny.

“Hmph,” Tessa huffed.

“Alright, alright, don’t be mad,” Lewis pleaded. “If you do get mad, Victor will find a way to punish me.”

It was a lucky thing Victor didn’t have the strength right now. If he had even an ounce of energy, he’d surely be delivering a few choice kicks to Lewis’s shins.

“Wait,” Tessa said, a thought occurring to her. “Is she the one he picked up the other day?”

She remembered hearing that Abel had rescued a girl and that Stella had practically interrogated him about it. If he’d just stumble upon her, why hadn’t she been sent home yet? Why bring her all the way to Noctarth?

“Where is she now?”

“Probably at the hotel? I’m not sure; I only saw her once.”

That one encounter had been enough to feel surreal. Everyone knew just what kind of a person Abel was. He was terrifying as Abraham. As a matter of fact, Abel was his silent, lethal shadow.

But Abraham was different; Stella had grown up by his side. Abel’s current situation was something no one could wrap their heads around. Rescuing a little chick was one thing, but keeping her by his side was another entirely.

Tessa quickly helped Victor take his medicine, but the result was…

He threw it right back up.

Tessa called Rianne again. At that moment, Rianne was still dealing with Eddie.

Eddie had already finished tidying up the entire place for her. Rianne looked at the spotless table and whispered, “Th–thank you.”

“I’m heading back now,” Eddie said. “If you’re not comfortable living here, you can always move back to

my place.”

‘I… I’m fine here,” Rianne replied, her face flushing a deeper shade of red.

Finished

Eddie noticed her unease. “Even if you’re fine, the offer stands. Your room has been kept in perfect order.

Rianne didn’t know how to respond to that.

Anyway, I’m off. Remember to apply the medicine on schedule, understood?”

God dammit! This man! Seriously! “Yes, just… go already!” Rianne thought.

Once Eddie finally left, Rianne stood rooted to the spot for a long time, her mind a complete whirlwind.

After exiting the building, Eddie called Evie, who was waiting in her car in the underground garage. She

hecked the time as she picked up. “You’re leaving already? You literally just ate and left?”

t hadn’t even been two hours.

What else was I supposed to do?” Eddie asked.

Evie was stunned. It was clear he hadn’t memorized a single thing from the dating guides she had scouted

or him.

Are you seriously asking me that? Don’t you know what boyfriends and girlfriends are supposed to do? Couldn’t you have taken her out to a movie or something?”

She was truly at her limit with him.

She has work tomorrow,” Eddie explained logically. “If we stay out too late tonight, she won’t be able to get ip in the morning.”

Wow, you’re so ‘considerate,” Evie groaned, feeling like she was about to faint. “You literally own the hospital. What does it matter if she works or not? If she’s tired, just give her a day off!”

Did she really have to teach him everything? Evie was reaching a breaking point.

That won’t work,” Eddie countered. “Since she joined the hospital, many patients have come specifically to see her. Tomorrow’s appointments are already fully booked.”

It was the first time she realized Eddie was as stubborn as a mule. Trying to explain how to romance someone to him was like talking to a brick wall. It just wasn’t getting through.

‘Fine. What about the day after tomorrow?”

Also fully booked.”

“And the day after that?”

“She doesn’t have an open slot for at least a week.”
