The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 913

4/4

Chapter 913 This is Payback

Tessa: “Whether you were wrong or not, it has nothing to do with me!”

I’m going to lose my mind. Why was Diana waiting three days to come to Redwood? She should be the one here explaining this mess!

Dale: “Your mom… she loved me very much back then. I was the one who failed her love.”

“She… she didn’t love you! Believe me!”

Hearing Dale describe her mother’s past feelings for him in such a repentant tone, Tessa was utterly speechless. “…”

Heavens, save me. What is this situation? Belated affection is worse than dirt. This is just… pathetic!

“But Tessa, don’t worry. I will do my best to win her back. I’ll make it up to you and your mom as much as I can.”

Tessa: “She really didn’t love you!”

“I was the one who failed her deep love.”

Tessa: “…”

Is this man insane? Saying this stuff now…? Seriously, he’s this old and still believes in all that love crap? Especially when he says “deep love.” Ugh, spare me. I really don’t want to listen to this.

“She really didn’t love you! She loved your twin brother.” Ugh! Then again, Mom never said she loved my actual dad, either. Whatever, I don’t care. I’m just going to say it!

It’s better than being grossed out! Even if he tears me apart for it, it’s better than feeling sick. Especially when he said “deep love,” Tessa was so repulsed she broke out in goosebumps.

Dale: “I don’t have a twin brother!”

Tessa: “Yes, you do!”

“I really don’t.”

Tessa: “My mom said you do, so you must have one. I’m his daughter, not yours.”

“That’s why the paternity test shows what it does. Believe me, my mom doesn’t love you, and I am not your daughter.” That should be clear enough, right?

The air went silent.

Dale stared quietly at Tessa.

Tessa: “You’re in a pretty miserable spot, but sorry, I’m… not good at comforting people.”

“You need a professional for that. I’m not a pro at consolation. I’m worried the more I talk, the angrier you’ll get, and if you keel over right here, I can’t take responsibility for that.”

As she said this, Tessa’s back was covered in sweat. Her real intention was to get Dale to stop pestering her and leave.

Besides, whether she was “professional” at consoling him was one thing; the main point was, she had no intention of comforting him anyway.

Although Victor had taken down a good chunk of the Ashen Pact’s power, if she really angered Dale to death right here, it would be troublesome if the Ashen Pact fell into chaos and turned on them.

Dale: “Your mom told you this?”

“Yep!”

Dale: “So she hates me this much… using this method to get revenge on me.”

Tessa: “…”

Huh? No, why would he think that? I mean, she definitely hates him. But knowing Mom, she wouldn’t use this kind of method for revenge. And given Diana’s temperament, if I really were Dale’s daughter, she would have protected me from the fallout, even if she was getting revenge.

“My mom isn’t getting revenge on you.”

Dale: “Tessa, no matter what happened between your mother and me in the past… you can rest assured, Dad will win her back this time.”

Speaking of his past with Diana, Dale’s heart was now filled with sorrow. He had driven away a woman whose heart and eyes were filled only with him. And in her place, he kept a woman who betrayed him at every turn.

How blind had he been back then?

Tessa: “…”

Are his ears just for show? He’s not listening to a single word I’m saying!

Dale sighed. “This is my… this is payback. Payback!”

The three children Artemis bore were not his. This was heaven’s punishment. Punishment for how badly he had failed Diana! And now, in the end, he was the one swallowing this bitter fruit.

Tessa: “…”
