The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 632 Yes, I Heard You Breathing In that moment, the flush on her face spread all the way to her ears.

+8 Pearls Especially when Victor stood up, that teasing glint in his eyes made Tessa's brain go blank, like her thoughts had just exploded into static. No, wait, wasn't he always cold and ascetic before? Yes, just one glance from those eyes used to be enough to freeze you in place. They were piercing and serious.

That was the Victor Tessa had known, dangerous, stoic, straight-laced...

He always gave off the vibe of someone completely devoid of emotion. Everyone around him thought either his body had skind of issue or he was just extremely indifferent to that kind of thing, no interest whatsoever.

And yet this supright, proper man- Suddenly leaned in close and whispered "wash up..." into her ear.

Tessa sat frozen in her chair for a long, long time.

By the tshe snapped out of it, Victor was already gone.

And her face-well, it was redder than ever.

When Lewis and Silas walked in, that's exactly what they saw.

0 Lewis couldn't help commenting, "Whoa, someone looks like they're lovestruck-" Before he could finish, Silas smacked him on the back of the head with a loud smack. It wasn't light, either.

The hit shut Lewis up immediately.

He yelped. "What was that for?" "I already told you, if you say anything out of line this afternoon, you'll deal with the consequences." Lewis's mouth just didn't know when to quit.

Silas had once suggested giving him to Eddie, but who knew what the boss was thinking; he hadn't agreed. Apparently, Victor was the only one who could tolerate Lewis.

If he'd had any other boss, he would've been shot a dozen times by now.

Lewis mumbled, "I didn't even say anything." He sounded meek and a little guilty.

Silas shot him a glare-sharp and full of warning. "How long's it even been since your mouth got torn up?" Lewis was stunned.

As soon as "torn mouth" was mentioned, his expression froze for a second.

Then he muttered, “Still hasn't stopped swelling." 13:16 Fri, 29 Aug Chapter 632 Yes, I Heard You Breathing "Exactly," Silas snapped. "Still hasn't gone down." And here he was, talking nonsense again.

en Pearls Silas shot Lewis another glare-one full of disappointment and disapproval, like he'd given up all hope.

Tessa, having heard Lewis say she looked lovestruck, didn't look too happy either.

She and Silas both glared at him.

After scolding Lewis, Silas turned respectfully toward Tessa. “Tessa.” Silas made Tessa's cheeks flush even deeper.

That night when Victor had been with her, Silas and Lewis had gone back to the villa to grab sthings; they must've heard everything.

Which meant, now, practically everyone around Victor called her "sister-in-law." Everyone except Lewis, of course-he still loved to call her "Miss Pancake." Every the used that nickname, Tessa had to fight the urge to rip his mouth apart.

She remained polite enough with Silas and gave a quiet “mm.” As for Lewis, he didn't deserve any niceties.

Silas said, "Boss wants Lewis to stay here with you this afternoon." Tessa blinked. "What?" No, please no...

Lewis's mouth was too much-always running, and always saying the most inappropriate things.

He had an overactive imagination too; loved to overanalyze.

The last tthey spent just a few minutes together, he'd already accused her of being an Ashen Pact spy.

If they spent an entire afternoon together, he might just accuse her of being skind of international secret agent.

In short, she did not want to be around him.

Silas nodded. "Yes. The situation's a little unstable right now. You need someone close by." Tessa replied, "But it's safe here." Last night, Victor's people hadn't even needed to do much. Just the traps and security systems alone had nearly crippled the intruders.

One of those twin sisters had been seriously injured.

Silas said, “Still better to have someone with you. That's the boss's order."

As soon as she heard it was Victor's Tessa knew decision, Tessa knew there was no changing it. Still, couldn't they send 13:16 Fri, 29 Aug.

Once Silas had finished arranging everything, he gave Lewis severan warning glares, then went to the study to grab something and left. Now it was just Lewis and Tessa.

Tessa quietly ate her food, completely ignoring him.

Lewis sat across from her, staring like a hawk-eyes locked on her, unblinking.

Tessa snapped, "Can you not stare atlike that?" "Nope," Lewis replied.

Tessa went quiet. This blockhead...

Lewis said, "After what happened last night, the boss said I can't leave your side." "How close are we talking here?" Tessa asked.

She still hadn't fully recovered from her cold. After eating, she planned to nap for a bit.

"Like, follow-you-everywhere close," Lewis replied.

Tessa went quiet. Followeverywhere? Wait...

"What about when I'm sleeping?" she asked.

Lewis replied, "Still gotta watch you."

Tessa was stunned. How am I supposed to sleep like that? And what if needed to go to the bathroom? Was Lewis planning to followin there too? 4.7K 45% The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In
