NovelEnglishChapter 438 The Edge of Patience "Landon..." Tessa murmured his name, moved.
How could he make her heart feel so soft? Because of him, she was no longer the reckless version of herself. She wanted to stay alive-not just for survival, but to remain by his side for as long as she could.
That's why, when problems arose, she faced them with clarity, no longer driven by impulsive emotion.
"It's late. Let's get srest." Landon scooped her into his arms and laid her gently on the bed, tucking the blanket around her before lying down beside her. "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side." That was his promise-and he meant to keep it.
"Mm." Tessa nestled against his arm, finding the most comfortable spot and closing her eyes.

Even Emma curled up peacefully in her mind, letting out a quiet yawn.
As he watched her fall into a steady sleep, Landon closed his eyes too, drifting off beside her.
There was no need for passionate words or touch. The mingling of lily-of-the- valley and pine, the resonance of bonded souls, was enough to keep their hearts tightly bound together.
The next morning, Tessa woke to find it was already 9 a.m.
The bed beside her was empty-Landon had clearly gotten up early to handle his business.
After washing up, she was about to head out when the villa's butler stopped her, "Ms. Tessa, are you going out? Shall I have the driver take you?" "No need. I'm just going to meet a friend. It's at the café right across the street." "Then please allow two bodyguards to accompany you. After what happened last night, Mr. Landon would never feel at ease letting you go out alone," the butler insisted.
Tessa frowned slightly. "That's unnecessary. The attack last night was aimed at Landon. I don't have any enemies here. Having two people followwill only be a burden." The butler hadn't expected her to be so headstrong.
"Ms. Tessa, I can't make that call. Mr. Landon entrusted your safety to me. If anything happens to you, how could I ever face him?" His expression was pleading, pitiful even.
How could she get mad at someone like that? "Please, Ms. Tessa, have smercy on me. This is the only job I have. If I lose it, how will I live? You see how old I am already..." Chapter 438 The Edge of Patience Tessa was at a complete loss.
If someone cat her aggressively, she'd have no problem pushing back.
But against this kind of elderly, guilt-tripping plea? She was powerless. She could only give in.

"Understood, Ms. Tessa. Don't worry-I'll make sure they don't disturb you." All that back-and-forth had delayed her quite a bit.
It was already 9:30 by the tshe stepped out of the villa and made her way across the street to the café. She arrived at 9:40, thinking she was a little early.
But to her surprise, Nathan was already there.
"Tessa, I've finally been waiting for you."
Nathan's face lit up with a wide smile when he saw her, as if he'd forgotten all about what had happened three months ago How she'd drugged him in Navoris, suppressed his wolf power, and forcibly teleported him back to Yalvaria.
Tessa's face turned cold. Her wolf power stirred, and the air inside the café began to shake tables, chairs, to even teacups trembled with her presence. "Nathan, what the hell do you want? You keep showing up and disturbing my life again and again. I am very. Un. Happy!"
Her patience was not limitless. If he kept pushing her boundaries, shen didn't care what the cost was-she would make sure he paid for it. Send Gifts 2.3K
