Chapter 386 It’s Between Victor and Tessa
Stella was blaming Victor in her heart.
Look at how scared Tess is. A man should not be like that. If he cannot perform, then at the very least, he should not ruin others. Tess is still perfectly fine, and she will have to get married someday. She can’t be casually messed with by someone like Victor, who can’t even… perform.
Abraham raised an eyebrow. “Say what?”
He felt like he had misheard. Whatever Stella meant by ‘say something‘ probably was not what he thought it was.
Stella nodded solemnly. “Yeah, someone needs to talk to him properly. If he’s going for a checkup, then he better hurry up. Just because he’s ‘not working‘ doesn’t give him the right to act like a pervert!”
Can’t perform and acts like a pervert?
All of a sudden, Abraham felt a throbbing headache. “You think I should go tell that to Victor? Or maybe you can enlighten me, Stella, on how exactly I should say it?”
Stella looked straight into Abraham’s eyes. “Just tell him directly.”
What’s so hard about that?
Abraham’s expression was complicated. “Tell him straight up that he can’t take off Tessa’s clothes?”
Stella nodded again. “Exactly. He can’t be doing stuff like that.”
Abraham pressed his hand to his forehead. The headache was growing worse by the second.
“Did that little brain of yours catch a fever today?” he asked as he placed his palm against her forehead.
Sure enough, Stella had a slight fever.
No wonder. If she were thinking straight, she’d never make such a request. She was clearly delirious from the fever.
Hearing him say that, Stella blinked, realizing she did feel a little off. “Mm, maybe a little fever.”
Even her voice was turning hoarse.
She looked up at Abraham, eyes wide and watery.
He pinched her cheek lightly. “Don’t tell me you caught it from Eddie.”
Abraham murmured cofilu in his heart

And this is something I could actually bring up with Victor?
D
He checked her temperature again, comparing it with his own. Nope. No fever on his end.
She was the only one spouting nonsense.
Stella suddenly came to a realization.

Oh, right! Oh my god, what kind of ridiculous things had I just been saying? How could I bring up something like that?
“But what about Tess?” Worried about Tessa, Stella asked.
“Tessa…” After a pause, Abraham finally said, “Don’t worry. Victor won’t do anything to her.”
That line again. Stella secretly rolled her eyes.
“But Tess is really scared of him…” She couldn’t forget the sound of Tessa crying over the phone. Stella was genuinely concerned.
Victor was cold as ice.
Tessa had seemed pretty brave before, but that was only when everything was peaceful and safe.
After everything that’s happened these past few days, she had been scared out of her mind.
And Stella knew well that given Victor’s temperament, there was no way he would bother to comfort someone like Tessa.
Abraham said, “It’s rare for Victor to involve himself in other people’s business.”
Stella blinked. “Huh?”
What did that mean?
She looked at Abraham, confused and lost.
He sighed, already feeling another wave of that damn headache. “At this point, it’s basically a private matter between Victor and Tessa.”
A… private matter? Like, a man and woman kind of private matter?
Seeing her still so clueless, Abraham let out a heavier sigh. “We’re heading back the day after
tomorrow.”
“Really?” At the sound of that, Stella instantly perked up.
She did not want to stay in Rivermount even one more day. Going back was perfect. Back meant leaving all this nonsense behind.

These people…

Especially Susan, who still kept trying to show up around her. It was obvious she was trying to latch onto Stella’s success.
All these years, no matter how they looked down on her, calling her a country girl raised in the sticks, she never once mentioned anything about her ties to Falvaria.
She had seen through them a long time ago.
People like that, if they were being nice to you, it was usually because they wanted to suck you dry.
Fake smiles and false kindness? She was not not interested.
And now they want to cozy up to her? Ha….
Abraham replied, “Yeah, things are just about wrapped up.” He nodded, voice warm with indulgence.
Stella wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the cheek. “Good. We should’ve gone home long ago.”
Just as she was about to snuggle back under the blanket, the man suddenly wrapped his armi around her waist and pulled her in.
“You think you can just light a fire and run?”
Stella squirmed. “What fire? I didn’t light anything”
Just one little kiss and he’s all hot and bothered? This man really couldn’t handle a single tease.
Abraham held her close and rolled over, pinning her beneath the covers.
Stella panicked. “No, no, we can’t.”
“Keep quiet, Abraham whispered in her ear.
…I mean it. We really can’t.” She looked at him with teary, pleading eyes, reaching up to push him
away.
But the man caught her slender wrists in one hand and pinned them above her head, locking her in place.
