On the way back, Tessa didn’t say a word. Landon just focused on driving, and there was no conversation between them.
It wasn’t until they returned to Wisteria Apartment that Landon didn’t leave right away.
“What’s wrong?” Tessa finally spoke.
“Can I come in for a glass of water?” Landon knew it was a lame excuse, but he didn’t care anymore.
She hadn’t accepted his feelings yet. There were a lot of things she didn’t want to say, so he couldn’t ask.
But right now, he just didn’t want to leave. He just wanted to stay by her side.
Tessa pressed her fingerprint. The door opened, and she went in first.
Landon followed behind.
He had never imagined that one day he would act this cautiously in front of a girl.
Tessa went over and boiled a glass of water for him. “Here.”
Landon took it and drank a sip.
“It’s not too hot?” Seeing him drink it right away, Tessa asked suspiciously.
“It is.”
“Mr. Thorne, are you okay?” He looked distracted. Honestly, it was the first time she had seen Landon, the Alpha king, like this.
Still completely unaware, Tessa didn’t connect Landon’s strange behavior to jealousy. After all, she didn’t think she and Connor had anything going on, so there was nothing to be jealous about.
So Landon ended up being the only one sulking for no reason.
“I’m fine.”
Landon set the glass down on the coffee table.
“Get some rest. I’ll head back now.” In the end, Landon didn’t ask anything and left Wisteria Apartment.
Tessa didn’t think much about Connor showing up. After browsing online for a while, she got ready for bed.
But just as she lay down, Ysabel’s text came through.
Ysabel texted: “Tessie, who was that guy today?”
Tessa quickly replied: “An old classmate.”
Ysabel responded eagerly: “Just a classmate? Clearly not!”

But Ysabel wouldn’t let it go. She replied: “Tessie! Just satisfy my curiosity! That guy’s probably a high- ranking werewolf too, and he’s really good–looking! Were you two together before?”
If Tessa didn’t answer her tonight, Ysabel wouldn’t be able to sleep.
But no matter how many voice messages she sent, they all stayed unread.
Tessa tossed her phone aside and went straight to sleep.
At the same time, at Club Eclipse, Nathaniel looked at Landon, who kept drinking in silence. He asked, his voice laced with uncertainty, “Alpha, are you okay?”
Landon took a sip of whiskey, then slowly set the glass on the table.
“Alpha, think about it. The youngest son of the Lawson family isn’t stronger than you, doesn’t look better than you, and he’s not richer or more powerful. Tessie won’t fall for him.”
Landon remained silent.
