Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438 The Edge of Patience

“Landon…” Tessa murmured his name, moved.

How could he make her heart feel so soft?

Because of him, she was no longer the reckless version of herself. She wanted to stay alive–not just for survival, but to remain by his side for as long as she could.

That’s why, when problems arose, she faced them with clarity, no longer driven by impulsive emotion.

“It’s late. Let’s get some rest.”

Landon scooped her into his arms and laid her gently on the bed, tucking the blanket around her before lying down beside her. “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll always be by your side.”

That was his promise–and he meant to keep it.

“Mm.” Tessa nestled against his arm, finding the most comfortable spot and closing her eyes.

The scent of pine on his skin calmed her, slowly washing away the unease that lingered.

Even Emma curled up peacefully in her mind, letting out a quiet yawn.

As he watched her fall into a steady sleep, Landon closed his eyes too, drifting off beside her.

There was no need for passionate words or touch. The mingling of lily–of–the–valley and pine, the resonance of bonded souls, was enough to keep their hearts tightly bound together.

The next morning, Tessa woke to find it was already 9 a.m.

The bed beside her was empty–Landon had clearly gotten up early to handle his business.

After washing up, she was about to head out when the villa’s butler stopped her, “Ms. Tessa, are you going out? Shall I have the driver take you?”

“No need. I’m just going to meet a friend. It’s at the café right across the street.”

“Then please allow two bodyguards to accompany you. After what happened last night, Mr. Landon would never feel at ease letting you go out alone,” the butler insisted.

Tessa frowned slightly. “That’s unnecessary. The attack last night was aimed at Landon. I don’t have any enemies here. Having two people follow me will only be a burden.”

The butler hadn’t expected her to be so headstrong.

“Ms. Tessa, I can’t make that call. Mr. Landon entrusted your safety to me. If anything happens to you, how could I ever face him?” His expression was pleading, pitiful even.

How could she get mad at someone like that?

“Please, Ms. Tessa, have some mercy on me. This is the only job I have. If I lose it, how will I live? You see how old I am already…”

Chapter 438 The Edge of Patience

Tessa was at a complete loss.

If someone came at her aggressively, she’d have no problem pushing back.

But against this kind of elderly, guilt–tripping plea? She was powerless. She could only give in.

“Fine! You can send two bodyguards with me. But you have to make sure they stay outside the café and don’t interfere with me or my friend.”

Seeing her relent, the butler knew better than to press his luck. He nodded immediately.

“Understood, Ms. Tessa. Don’t worry–I’ll make sure they don’t disturb you.”

All that back–and–forth had delayed her quite a bit.
