Chapter 313 Not the Same as Before

Tessa blinked at the flash drive in Landon’s hand.

“Mr. Landon, do you not believe I can handle this on my own?” She didn’t think this situation was that

serious.

Landon hesitated, trying to figure out how to explain himself in a way she’d understand.

“You don’t have to say anything,” Tessa said before he could speak. “Thank you.”

He genuinely just wanted to help her.

“I just don’t want you to carry everything alone,” he said at last. “Some things, for me, are nothing more than a lift of a finger. So why not let me help?”

And with all the resources he had, why shouldn’t she take advantage of that?

“Thank you. But don’t do this again next time. I’ve already made every possible preparation.” There was no need for him to trouble himself over minor things like this.

Especially when he was already swamped with his own responsibilities.

“Donald’s not a bad guy,” Landon added. “He’s one of the Violette Pack’s potential alpha successors, sure, but he’s never shown much interest in that position. His heart’s in business. If you’re open to it, maybe he can help manage Sinclair Corp in the future.”

“I know,” Tessa replied. Donald was one of her potential rivals, so she had already investigated everything about him.

Donald was capable–and trustworthy.

Her father had never trusted Donald, simply because of his ties to the Violette Pack. But if he had, and handed Sinclair Corp to Donald, maybe things wouldn’t have fallen into such a mess.

Landon wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her gently into his embrace.

“Tessa, you know…” he murmured, “sometimes, I really wish you weren’t so strong. Maybe then, I’d feel a little more important.”

He wanted to be needed–to help, to be relied on. But when the girl you love is so capable she barely ever asks for help…

It left him feeling like he had no place.

Like he’d never be needed.

Tessa stared at him in surprise. “Mr. Landon, you—”

“Alright, that’s enough.” He let go of her, smiled faintly, and kissed her forehead. “Get some rest. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

And then he left.

Tessa stood alone in the living room, thinking about what he said.

Do I really make people feel like they’re not needed?

Landon was different.

He wasn’t like Samuel. He wasn’t like Miracle. He wasn’t like anyone else.

Maybe… because she was never good at expressing herself, he misunderstood. Maybe that was why he felt so distant sometimes.

Just as her thoughts started to spiral, the ring on her finger flared with a strange light again.

Emma’s voice growled in her mind, tense, and frustrated. “It’s him again! That guy! The ring’s flaring more and more often–if this keeps up, he’s going to find us sooner or later!”

Tessa gently soothed her. “If he’s coming, let him come. We don’t need to be afraid anymore. We’re not who we used to be, right?”

She wasn’t scared of anything now.
