Chapter 328 A Moment of Peace

When Tessa entered, her grandfather’s face lit up with a smile.

“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 some things 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.

Not wanting to worry him, she masked her exhaustion as best she could, keeping her tone light. But the faint tremble of her lashes gave her away–the strain of having overdrawn her white wolf power still lingered.

“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 come on, 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 come stay 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.”

After settling him into a clean room to rest, Tessa finally stepped out–only to find Landon already waiting for her.

As soon as he saw her, he walked up, took her hands, and pulled her into his arms.

“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.

Her grandfather had once been a powerful alpha, a battlefield veteran. He still believed he could handle anything.

But age, and that major surgery… he just wasn’t the man he used to be.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already talked to him about it. After what happened, he finally understands.”

Leaning into his chest, breathing in his scent of pinewood, she finally felt at peace.

“What happened at Sinclair Corp? You’re not in good shape.”

Walter hadn’t noticed anything wrong, but as an alpha of the Nightshade Pack, Landon could sense the emptiness behind her eyes–her spiritual energy as depleted as a moonlit lake gone dry.

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.

Landon lowered his head and kissed her trembling lips.
