NovelEnglishChapter 328 A Moment of Peace When Tessa entered, her grandfather's face lit up with a smile.
+8 Pearls "Tessa, why the rush? The shareholders' meeting just ended, didn't it? I'm fine, really. You don't have to worry." Truthfully, Walter didn't want to bring up what had happened. But this was Tessa- his most beloved granddaughter. And he knew sthings couldn't simply be left unsaid.
Even if he had been the one kidnapped...
At this point, he could no longer speak on Yardley's behalf.
Tessa walked up and wrapped her arms around his waist, leaning her head against his chest.
She'd known he'd be fine. But only now, seeing him standing there safe and sound, could she truly relax. "Grandpa, don't worry. I didn't let you down. I'm officially the new acting CEO of Sinclair Corp." She would lead Sinclair Corp to a new era of greatness.

"Tessa... I'm sorry. If I hadn't insisted on putting you in that position, you wouldn't have had to go through all this." This kind of ordeal was hard on anyone.
Tessa held his hand.
"Grandpa, don't say that. You don't have to with me. Now con, you must be tired. Rest here for a while at Mr. Landon's place, and we'll head back later. Or if you'd rather not return, you can cstay at my place for a few days." "Alright. I really am tired. I'll take a nap here at Landon's, and we'll see after I wake up." "Okay."

"It's over now. He's fine. You don't have to worry anymore. From now on, I'll assign two high-ranking werewolf warriors from Nightshade Pack to protect him. He'll never be in danger again." "I wanted to assign bodyguards for him before, but he always refused," Tessa said with a sigh.

Tessa gave him a brief account of what had happened earlier. Then, with rare vulnerability, she wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Mr. Landon... thank you. If it weren't for you, I think I....." If he hadn't been there, she didn't know what she might've done. She would've lost control.

It was a slow, tender kiss. His tongue brushed hers, and with it, the m pine-scented pheromones unique to a Nightshade Pack alpha flowed into her like a gentle current. As an alpha of the Nightshade Pack, Landon's pheromones had a natural calming effect on their kin.
