**Chapter 947 What Do You See in Him**
The kinder Victor had been, the more the weight of the truth must have crushed him beneath its heavy burden. It was a cruel twist of fate that those who showed the most compassion often ended up bearing the deepest scars.
“Finished,” he muttered, his voice barely above a whisper, as if the word itself was a finality he couldn’t quite accept.
“There’s no need to do it,” Tessa interjected, her voice steady but laced with frustration. “Even if a paternity report claims he’s my father, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s not. My mom made that abundantly clear, and yet he still chooses to ignore it…” Her words trailed off, the weight of her emotions hanging heavy in the air.
Silence enveloped them, thick and uncomfortable. Tessa’s heart raced, a mix of anger and sadness swirling within her. She felt trapped in a situation that seemed to spiral further out of control with every breath.
Victor, sensing her turmoil, reached out and took her hand gently. “Let’s go,” he said, his tone firm yet reassuring.
Relief washed over Tessa. Since she had made it clear that she was unwilling to undergo a paternity test, she felt a newfound sense of security. No one would dare touch a single hair on her head today; she was resolute.
Lewis, ever the shadow, trailed behind them, his footsteps echoing in the tense silence.
Victor glanced back, a hint of irritation flickering in his eyes. “What?” he asked, his patience wearing thin.
“I haven’t eaten either!” Lewis exclaimed, his voice rising in protest.
“Go eat wherever you want!” Victor shot back, his expression souring at the thought of Lewis’s incessant chatter.
Lewis’s face fell, disappointment etching itself into his features.
Silas, who had been observing the exchange with a mix of amusement and exasperation, grabbed Lewis by the arm, trying to steer him away. This guy really wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box.
“Why are you pulling me?” Lewis protested, bewildered.
“Didn’t you see that he’s unhappy? Why are you being a third wheel?” Silas replied, exasperation evident in his tone.
“They’ve been together for so long. What’s wrong with grabbing a meal together?” Lewis argued, his naivety shining through.
If they were still in the honeymoon phase, perhaps it would have been acceptable. But to Lewis, Victor and Tessa seemed like an old married couple, their dynamic far removed from the spark of new love.
Silas sighed, “I really can’t be bothered with you right now.”
For heaven’s sake, he thought, shaking his head in disbelief.
Lewis pouted, crossing his arms. “I’m just telling the truth. And about him… I never realized he was so into women.”
“When he was alone, he was like an icicle,” Lewis continued, oblivious to Silas’s irritation.
“Now that he has someone, he wants to be glued to her all the time. What a change!”
Silas had no desire to engage in this conversation any longer. “Fine. You go to Black Mountain and handle Dale,” he said, dismissing Lewis with a wave of his hand.
“Why should I go handle him?” Lewis protested, confusion etched across his face.
Tessa won’t do the test. What’s there to handle? Just pretend he doesn’t exist, Silas thought, frustration bubbling beneath the surface.
“Aren’t you good at comforting people?” Silas shot back, sarcasm dripping from his words.
“Wait, you want me… to go to Black Mountain… to comfort him?” Lewis asked, incredulous.
Are you kidding me? What does Dale even mean to them? Why should I comfort him? Lewis completely missed the sarcasm, his mind racing in a different direction.
In the elevator, Tessa turned to Victor, a small smile breaking through her earlier tension. “Lewis is a real character sometimes,” she remarked, shaking her head.
“He certainly is,” Victor replied, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips.
As he thought about Lewis’s description of how he “comforted” Dale earlier that day, a headache began to form. It was fortunate that his misguided attempts were aimed at Dale, and not someone else. If those words had been directed at anyone else, they would have been a disaster. That mouth of his truly was a liability most of the time.
Meanwhile, at Black Mountain, Dale had just sent his men to track down Tessa when Diana arrived, her presence commanding attention. A group of Ashen Pact elders followed closely behind her, a reminder of the power she now held. These men had once been loyal to Dale, but now they stood firmly beside Diana.
Dale couldn’t wrap his mind around it. He had only allowed Diana to manage the Ashen Pact for a brief period, yet she had somehow managed to weave herself into the very fabric of their loyalty.
Today, Diana radiated confidence, her long, curled hair cascading over her shoulders, and she wore a stunning aqua-blue suit jacket over a crisp white dress. Approaching fifty, she exuded a grace that belied her age. Anyone seeing her for the first time would likely mistake her for a “big sister” in her thirties, completely unaware of the wisdom and experience she carried within her.
With a sharp slap, a stack of files was tossed onto the table, the sound echoing in the tense atmosphere. Diana settled onto the sofa, crossing her legs with an air of nonchalance as she admired her freshly manicured nails.
“Sign these,” she instructed, her tone devoid of warmth. “Once you do, the Ashen Pact has nothing to do with you.”
Dale’s heart raced, a sense of urgency gripping him. He looked around, searching for Norris, but his gaze fell back on Diana. “Did you and Norris really get married?” he asked, disbelief evident in his voice.
Upon hearing this, Diana lifted her gaze, her eyebrows arching in surprise. “What? Are those two things related?” she retorted, a hint of irritation creeping into her tone.
“I can’t believe you’d fall for a young punk like him!” Dale exclaimed, incredulous.
Diana paused, her expression shifting. “A ‘young punk’ in his forties?” she countered, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
“Do you have some misunderstanding of what a ‘young punk’ is? A punk his age?” she continued, her disbelief palpable.
Dale fell silent, his breath growing heavier with each passing moment. “Do you even realize how much younger he is than you?” he pressed, desperation creeping into his words.
“Of course,” Diana replied, her confidence unwavering.
“And you still don’t see that you two are completely unsuitable?” Dale’s teeth ground together, frustration boiling beneath the surface.
The mere thought of Diana marrying Norris had been a source of rage for him these past few days. She had waited for him for so long. Why couldn’t she just hold on a little longer? To marry Norris at such a critical moment… it felt like an act of vengeance.
Diana rolled her eyes, a playful pout forming on her lips. “I’m telling you, you—”
“He’s so much younger than you! You’re not a match! What do you even see in him?” Dale roared, his voice rising to a fever pitch.
Diana’s eyes widened in surprise. “Hey? What did you say? I’ll tell you what I see. I like that he’s young, okay? So what? Am I supposed to like that you’re old? That you smell?”
Dale’s face flushed with anger, caught off guard by her boldness.
In the aftermath of the confrontation, both Tessa and Victor found solace in their shared understanding, a bond forged through the trials they had faced together. Tessa’s decision to stand firm against the expectations of others marked a pivotal moment in her emotional journey, a declaration of her autonomy amidst the chaos. With Victor by her side, she felt emboldened, as if the weight of the world had been lifted, allowing her to breathe freely for the first time in what felt like an eternity. Their laughter, albeit sparked by the antics of Lewis, served as a reminder that even in the midst of turmoil, moments of lightness could break through, illuminating their path forward.
Meanwhile, Dale’s turmoil deepened as he grappled with his feelings of betrayal and confusion. Diana’s defiance in the face of his anger revealed the strength she had cultivated during their time apart, a stark contrast to the vulnerability he had always associated with her. The confrontation not only underscored the shifting dynamics of their relationship but also marked a turning point for both characters. As Diana stood her ground, asserting her right to choose her own path, Dale was left to confront the reality of his own emotions—one that was tangled in regret and longing.
