Chapter 436 His Voice Again
From the moment it happened, Nathan had been waiting for Tessa to call.
Sure enough, here it was–her name lit up on his screen.

A sinister smile flickered across Nathan’s shadowed face as he answered the call instantly. “Tessa, long time
no see!”
“Nathan. Was last time’s lesson not enough for you? Do I have to kill you for you to finally disappear from my life?” Tessa was practically gritting her teeth.
If it weren’t for the blood contract, she’d have gone over and finished him off herself.
Nathan chuckled.
“Tessa, why are you so angry? I didn’t do anything! I just missed you, that’s all. Thought I’d pay you a visit! Come on, we’re still good friends, aren’t we? No need to get so worked up.”
Tessa gave a cold laugh. “Didn’t do anything? You sent puppets to attack our car. If it weren’t for Landon’s strength, we’d be dead.”
“Ah–yes, that part was my bad,” Nathan replied with a tone of lazy apology. “My men were too stupid. They didn’t realize you were in the car. My poor Tessa must’ve been so scared.”
He gave a low laugh. In the background, there was a faint clinking of ice in a glass. “But you should have faith in Landon. He’s the Alpha King of Montedra. If a few mindless ‘stitched–together toys‘ could hurt him, wouldn’t that be humiliating?”
He paused, then added in a tone only lovers would use, soft and intimate, “This was just a warning. Next time, I won’t let him off so easy.”
“You…” Tessa was on the verge of exploding. “Just say it. What do you want?”
“I told you–I missed you. How about tomorrow morning at ten? I’ll wait for you at the café across from Landon’s villa.”
“Don’t be mad. You’re too pretty to be fuming like that, my sweet Tessa.” Nathan sounded downright smug.
It had been so long since he’d felt this way.
Ever since Tessa dragged him back from Navoris, he’d been like a powder keg–dark, irritable, volatile. But today, finally, he felt something close to amusement again.
“Hah. Fine. You just wait,” Tessa growled. She really wanted to tear him limb from limb.
“Oh, I’ll wait. No matter how late it gets, I’ll be there. And tonight, I’ll dream of you.”
He didn’t care how furious she sounded.
He just wanted to hear her voice. Nothing else mattered.
After the call ended, Tessa was still seething.

Just then, her phone rang again–this time, it was Samuel.
Tessa, are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“What about Nathan? That bastard didn’t do anything, did he? He’s waited so long for you–now that you’re back, he must be going all out trying to trap you.”
Samuel was genuinely worried. That’s why he called at this hour.
