The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 927

Chapter 927 You Have a Dad

Tessa: “…”

Diana: “And then he fainted. I really didn’t say that much.”

Tessa: “Right, right, you didn’t say much…”

Hey? That’s not right.

“Exactly. Did he not even know in his own heart whether you two had… done that… or not?”

She just asked him if they’d “done that,” and Dale fainted from anger.

It’s clear they really hadn’t!

Diana: “He probably forgot because it was too long ago. Or maybe he just had too many women and couldn’t keep track.”

Tessa: “…”

Uh…

Could it really be like that?

Too many women, so he couldn’t keep track…? Would a man who supposedly had a crush have that many women?

Diana: “Gotta go. I’ll come find you in a bit. Hanging up!”

And just like that, before Tessa could say anything else, Diana hung up.

Tessa listened to the dial tone and turned to Victor.

“Dale was so angry he ended up in the hospital.”

Victor: “He was bound to end up there.”

“Hmm?”

How did he know?

Hey…! Wait. He has spies in Black Mountain.

Victor: “Your mom took the other half of the Ashen Pact’s treasure map.”

Victor: “Dale caught her in the act, but Norris was there, so Dale obviously couldn’t do anything to her.”

Not only could he not harm her, but he couldn’t get the map back from her. Of course Dale would be furious.

Tessa: “The other half of the map?”

Victor nodded.

Tessa remembered. The Ashen Pact had been looking for her mother all this time, apparently because she had taken half of the treasure map back then.

They had been searching for Diana like madmen.

And now… she had returned to Redwood. They never got the first half back, and now they’d lost the other half, too!

Thinking about it… “Yeah, Dale was bound to be furious.”

To mobilize so many people to find her, that half–map must have been extremely important to the Ashen Pact.

And now the remaining half was gone too!

Not long after, Diana arrived.

She was almost fifty, and while the girlishness was gone, she still had a mature, vibrant aura.

Especially in her white golf outfit, complete with a visor and sunglasses, she looked even

younger.

Norris followed her.

He looked very similar to Silas, with that same captivating, refined quality that was hard to describe but easy to be drawn to.

But the difference was, Silas was mature and steady. This man, however, exuded a dangerous, commanding aura…

He looked like someone not to be crossed.

Seeing Diana, Tessa practically flew into her arms. “Mom!”

Diana caught her. “Hey, why are you being so reckless?”

Chapter 927 You Have a Dad

Holding Tessa, Diana’s scolding, exasperated tone was laced with affection.

Tessa nuzzled her. “Mom, you smell so good.”

That was what Tessa had said to Diana most often her whole life.

Every time Diana held her, she thought her mom’s embrace smelled wonderful.

Diana pinched her slightly chubby cheeks and smiled. “You’ve gained weight.”

Instantly, Tessa froze.

Girls hate being called fat. Hearing Diana say it, Tessa’s face scrunched up like a bun.

Just then, Victor finished his call and came in from the balcony.

Seeing Diana, he gave a polite “Hello.”

Then he saw Norris behind them, and Victor went silent.

Finished

Seeing Victor, Diana smiled. “Thank you for everything. I know you’ve been protecting Tessa.”

“Mom…”
