Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 1774

She even knew exactly how to hit the sweet spot that pleased her.

Grace pinched Tessa’s soft cheek with a doting smile. “Alright, alright. Only you know how to sweet-talk like that”

“I’m only telling the truth.”

Tessa clung to her arm and leaned against her shoulder, her voice soft with affection.

With her daughter leaning so close, Grace felt something stir in her chest—an unexpected, quiet warmth she couldn’t quite name.

Meanwhile, Tessa’s mind was already calculating.

This should be enough to get her through today.

She still had a meeting scheduled with a partner, and if she delayed any longer, she’d miss it completely.

She only hoped her mother would wrap things up soon.

But the next sentence made chills crawl straight up her spine.

“Tessa, you’re sure you’re not hiding anything from me? Like meeting someone? Or someone saying something to you?”

Her face drained of color instantly.

Grace had been watching her closely this entire time—every flicker of expression and breath she took.

Her gaze never left Tessa, waiting to confirm her own suspicions.

Now, she had her answer.

Tessa’s panic said everything.

What Aurora told her was likely true.

But Grace still didn’t want to believe it.

Tessa scrambled to defend herself.

“Mom, I… I don’t understand what you mean. Who exactly would I be meeting?”
