The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 804 Open Your Mouth, Sweetheart.

Silas thought to himself. There he goes again with that mouth of his.

Thankfully, Victor wasn’t around; otherwise, he might've torn Lewis apart by now.

Finished

Honestly, Lewis had already gotten himself chewed out plenty of times lately; yet somehow, he never seemed to

learn. Sbad habits really are impossible to fix... like an animal that just won't change its ways.

Lewis caught Silas’ look and frowned. “Why are you staring atlike that? Do | look like a dog to you?”

Silas stayed silent.

His mouth was terrible, but he sure knew how to read faces.

Inside the room, Tessa was so exhausted she didn’t even want to lift a finger; every bone in her body felt weak.

Victor picked her up and leaned her against his chest. Scooping up a spoonful of warm porridge, he brought it to

her lips. “Open your mouth.”

His usually cold, restrained voice carried a rare touch of gentleness.

Nestled in his arms, Tessa mumbled sleepily, her soft voice tinged with irritation.

“I don’t want to eat.”

Exhaustion dragged at her bones. Every inch of her hurt, and she half-suspected she’d managed to injure herself

all over again.

“Be good,” Victor coaxed. “Eat something first, then you can sleep.”

“I really don’t want to.”

“It’s just porridge.”

Tessa protested in every possible way, but Victor-rarely this patient-kept coaxing her quietly.

In the end, she reluctantly opened her mouth.

The porridge was soft and fragrant; the blend of chicken and shiitake mushrooms was savory

and rich.

Truth be told, she was hungry. She'd already felt it when she woke that morning, but she hadn't

had the strength to get up-then Victor had kept her busy again..

Now that she saw it was porridge, she obediently took small bites.

Before long, she finished the bowl. Victor followed with smilk, and only after she drank it did he let her go

back to sleep.

Tessa turned onto her side. “It hurts there. Put smedicine on for me.”

At that, Victor paused, his eyes darkening slightly before his lips curved into a smile. “Alright.”

Not bad...

The last the'd hurt her, the little thing hadn't even let him check her injuries; and now, she was directly

asking him to apply medicine.

What he didn’t know was that Tessa was only worried about infection-she’d be the one to suffer if it got worse.

But she was far too tired to get up herself; that simply wasn’t happening.

Meanwhile, things at the Ashen Pact had grown even more chaotic once word spread that Tessa was in Victor's

hands.

Before the situation had been clear, everything looked like a deliberate attack against the Pact- someone trying

to corner them.

But once the truth cout...

Marie, Derrick, and Victor joined forces; and together, they struck at the Ashen Pact like ravenous wolves.

Each of them wanted to seize the Pact’s abundant resource territories. Outwardly, they seemed united-but in

reality, each was out for themselves.

Whoever took something first, owned it.

The situation nearly gave Dale a heart attack; Dan, meanwhile, had been confronting Marie endlessly.

Compared to the chaos in Redwood, things in Falvaria were relatively calm-though speople still had it

rough.

Like Melissa.

Rianne had left for Yalvoria early that morning, and Stella had spent half the day on the phone, arranging

everything for her stay.

She'd especially focused on assigning bodyguards for Rianne-more than anyone else.

Finished

Just as she hung up, she spotted Eddie sitting not far away, munching on fruit. Stella frowned. When did he get

here?

“Eddie?” she called out, not moving closer.

Maybe it was because of that awful stench from yesterday; it had left her a little traumatized.

Even though Eddie had clearly taken a shower, she still didn’t want to get too close.

Seeing her keeping her distance, watching him with open suspicion, Eddie frowned.

“Stella, what's your problem?”

“Do you still smell?” she asked bluntly.

“That's kind of an insulting question, don’t you think?”

“Hey,” Stella said, exasperated, “I threw up so many times yesterday my stomach'’s still queasy.”

“Hey,”

She swore she hadn't meant to insult him.

Eddie huffed. “I cleaned myself up. Stop looking atlike that.”

Watching Stella’s expression, Eddie felt speechless.

“Really?” she said.

“I mean, con, you-"

“Alright, just say what you cto say.”

She could tell Eddie had something

But today, he hadn't moved an inch. Clearly, he wanted to talk to her.

Eddie crossed his arms. “I really don’t smell anymore.”

“Not important,” Stella muttered flatly.

Eddie fell silent. This girl...
