Chapter 246 Midnight Pizza

Seeing how nervous he was, Tessa felt a warm rush in her heart.

“It’s nothing; I just haven’t eaten properly all day. Now, I’m starving,” she said.

Landon let out a breath of relief. “Oh, is that all? How about we go grab a late–night snack together?”

Tessa immediately nodded. “Sure! Give me a second; I’ll go change.” No matter how reckless she could be, she wasn’t about to head out in her pajamas for a midnight snack.

Landon waited for her in the living room while she changed.

Without even realizing it, a smile crept onto his lips. Is happiness really this simple?

Just waiting here to go out for a late–night bite together and he actually felt this content.

It seemed that as long as he was with her, no matter what they did, he was easily satisfied.

Tessa put on a red hoodie and threw a black down jacket over it. The weather in Navoris was truly freezing. She left her hair loose; it made her look even smaller and more delicate.

Walking out with her, Landon was immediately struck by a sense of guilt.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he was too old for Tessa,

“What’s wrong?” she asked when they got into the elevator; he’d been staring at her the whole time.

“Nothing… I just think you look really good dressed like this today.”

How was she supposed to respond to that?

“I think I look pretty good every day,” she said without missing a beat.

Landon hadn’t expected that kind of reply from her; he was momentarily stunned..

“I’m kidding,” Tessa said, unable to hold back a laugh. How long had it been since I had felt so relaxed? It really was a wonderful feeling.

Landon took Tessa to a fancy pizza place. Neither of them had expected to run into Nathaniel and the others there.

As soon as she spotted Landon, Ysabel rushed over.

“Tessie, how’s grandpa doing? I really want to go see him too.” Her dad had been keeping a tight leash on her these past few days; if it weren’t for Nathaniel, she wouldn’t even have been able to come out tonight.

“He’s doing great. What about you? Is your dad still keeping you locked up?”

At the mention of it, all Ysabel could do was sigh.

“Don’t even bring it up; it gives me a headache just thinking about it. My dad’s as stubborn as a mule; no one can change his mind.”

company matters have been dumped on me. Tonight, you owe me a treat,” Nathaniel said as soon as he saw Landon, full of complaints.

“Fine, my treat. If I don’t drink you under the table tonight, I’m not Landon,” Landon declared.

Nathaniel, well, he was just venting: getting drunk wasnt as fun as it sounded.

“Mr. Thorne, I was wrong! I’ll call you whatever you want if you let me off the hook!” Nathaniel cried dramatically.

Cameron and Hudson burst out laughing at the sight of Nathaniel acting so spineless.

“Landon, Hudson and I are done eating. We’re gonna head out; you guys enjoy yourselves. As for Nathaniel–feel free to bully him,” Cameron said with a laugh.

Nathaniel grumbled in protest.

“Seriously? I take you out for a meal and this is how you treat me? Cameron, you’re out of line,” Nathaniel said, rolling up his sleeves like he was really about to start a fight.

Hudson didn’t even acknowledge him; he just dragged Cameron away.

Nathaniel’s raised fist only ended up swinging through empty air.

“Don’t bully Nathaniel so much; can’t you see how pitiful he is?” Ysabel said.

Hearing her defend him, Nathaniel couldn’t help but glance at her. It was the first time in forever that Ysabel had ever taken his side.

Landon gave her a look as well.

“Nathaniel, you should take her home. Her dad’s been keeping a tight watch on her; if you don’t get her back soon, are you sure you’ll be able to sneak her out next time?” Landon said, fully understanding his older brother’s character.

Hearing that, whatever spark Ysabel had left immediately fizzled out.

She wilted completely.

“Tessie, I’ll wait until Grandpa’s doing better to visit him; I won’t bother him tonight,” Ysabel said

Tessa nodded.

“Alright, head on back.”
