    Since it was still ss time and the school didn''t allow students to leave without permission, Tessa simply climbed over the wall.


    This time, Ysabel wasn''t with her. She didn''t even bother to disguise herself. Relying solely on her powerful jumping ability, she leapt onto the wall over feet high and jumped straight down on the other side.


    Landon watched as shended from the wall, his eyelid twitching slightly.


    Seriously? Why climb a wall when she could just take the normal way out?


    He stood by the car with a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers. When he saw Tessa approaching, he stubbed out the cigarette and tossed it into the trash


    can.


    When she reached him, he opened the car door and let her in.


    Tessa got into the passenger seat and closed her eyes to rest.


    She had onlye out because he called her, but now that she saw him, she didn''t feel like saying anything. So, she decided to nap in his car for a while.


    "Didn''t sleep wellst night?" Is it because of Connor? That guy has been standing outside Wisteria Apartment all night.


    "You should be the one who didn''t sleep," Tessa said with her eyes still closed.


    Landon remained silent.


    So she already knows he didn''t go homest night.


    Tessa felt safe around Landon, so she fell asleep in his car without hesitation.


    Looking at herpletely unguarded expression, Landon let out a soft sigh. Even though Tessa hadn''t fully figured things out yet, he knew he was special to her. At the very least, she trusted him enough to fall asleep by his side.


    Thinking of that, Landon felt content.


    Watching her breathing gradually slow and steady, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over her, then simply sat beside her and quietly kept herpany.


    Even if he didn''t do anything, just being near her filled his heart with peace and satisfaction.


    That afternoon, Winona showed up at school despite not being fully recovered, just to see Tessa''s downfall.


    A few girls close to her immediately rushed over with concern. "Winnie, now that Tessa''s probably getting expelled, no one''s ever going to bully you or fight you for Mr. Connor again."


    "I know you mean well," Winona replied with a sorrowful look, "but no matter what, Tessa is still my sister.

    She was thrilled on the inside, but her face remained full of sadness, looking like a helpless and pitiful angel.


    "Winnie, you think of her as your sister, but she clearly doesn''t think the same. If she did, she wouldn''t have tried to take him from you."


    "Exactly! You can''t be too kind. Otherwise, you''re the one who ends up getting hurt."


    Anna listened to the girls around Winona and felt a wave of disgust.


    They were always hanging around Winona, but seeing them act like this made her want tough. Others might not know what kind of person Winona really was, but she did, clearly.


    Later, when Winona was alone, Anna approached her.


    "Winona, this all started because of you. Are you really going to sit back and do nothing?"


    Winona frowned, and the sweet smile on her face vanished.


    "Anna, you''d better get your facts straight. You did what you did because you like Nico. What do you think he''ll do if he finds out? And don''t forget who Nico''s mother is. If she finds out all of this started because of you, do you think you''ll still have a ce at Navoris High? As long as you keep quiet, Tessa won''t say anything. Just don''t do anything and it''ll all blow over."


    Anna''s face turned pale.


    Tessa doesn''t know? No, she clearly does. She just hasn''t told Nico yet.


    She didn''t even want to imagine what would happen if Nico found out everything


    had been her doing. He would probably hate her forever.


    Anna regretted it. If she hadn''t lost her mind back then none of this would''ve happened. At the moment every day felt like living in fear.


    Winona let out a cold snort and gave her a side nce.


    Nothing had even happened yet, and she already looked terrified. People like this deserved to be bullied, deserved to be unloved, and deserved to only ever love someone in secret.


    Ignoring Anna, Winona turned and walked toward her ssroom.


    ?


    But before she got there, she ran into Tessa in the stairwell.
