Chapter 166 You Are Too Irresistible


    Is she having a nightmare? Why does her face look so full of pain?

    Landon walked over and knelt on the bed, holding one of Tessa''s hands. With his other hand, he gently patted her shoulder.


    In her nightmare, Tessa suddenly felt a sense of peace. The pain on her stunning face faded, reced by a sweet calm.


    Landon stayed in that position for a long time.


    Only after making sure she was sound asleep did he get off the bed. He stood at the edge, just watching her.


    It turned out that simply standing there, looking at her, brought him a deep sense of satisfaction.


    Tessa didn''t expect to sleep so well.


    When she woke up, it was already 3:30. As she stepped out of the room, she saw Landon working in the living room.


    He waspletely focused when he worked, and Tessa didn''t want to bother him. She nned to quietly leave on her own. But just as she took two steps, he looked up.


    "Come here."


    She didn''t even know why-Tessa was never someone who liked being ordered around.


    But this time, she quietly walked over to him.


    Landon held out his hand. Tessa didn''t understand. Seeing how confused she looked, Landon chuckled with delight.


    He pulled her to sit down beside him.


    "Don''t worry. I already asked for leave for you. You don''t need to go to school this afternoon."


    "Didn''t we agree you''d wake me up when it was time? Why didn''t you?" Tessa''s voice was stillzy and drowsy from just waking up. It had a unique charm.


    Landon couldn''t help but pull her into his arms and kiss her on the cheek. "You''re just too irresistible."


    Tessa looked up at him. That look on her face stirred something even deeper in his heart.


    He leaned in and kissed her lips.


    Tessa froze, shocked, staring at him.


    "Mr. Thorne..."


    "Don''t let other men touch you. If they do, I''ll lose my mind."

    And all of his self-control copsed in front of her.


    Tessa blushed from her cheeks to the tips of her cars.


    Her shy expression pleased him. Landon felt like he was in a great mood.


    Tessa red at him, trying to climb off hisp.


    If anyone came in and saw the two of them like this, they''d definitely start getting ideas!


    "Let go of me."


    Tessa was annoyed. Of course, she knew Landon had ulterior motives toward her.

    But up until now, he had still been fairly polite. She had forgotten-at his core, this man was a fierce and powerful Alpha wolf.


    Once he set his sights on something, he would use every bit of patience and strategy to pursue it until his "prey" waspletely his.


    Landon locked her in his arms.


    "Did you hear me clearly? There are too many males around you. I don''t want to wait anymore."


    There were so many strong and talented male wolves trying to win her over. He couldn''t help but worry she might be taken away.


    "I didn''t hear clearly. What gives you the right to ask that of me?"


    Hearing her say that, Landon tightened his grip.


    "Tessa..."


    But seeing the stubbornness on her face, he could only let out a sigh.


    In the end, he couldn''t even bring himself to raise his voice at her. Landon personally walked her out.


    It was work hours, and many people wereing and going. Seeing their Alpha personally escorting a girl in a school uniform downstairs-his protective attitude made every female employee at Thorne Corp envious.


    Cameron had brought Charlotte to deliver a document to Landon. They didn''t expect to run into him just as he was seeing Tessa off.
