Chapter 246 Midnight Pizza


    Seeing how nervous he was, Tessa felt a warm rush in her heart.


    “It''s nothing; I just haven''t eaten properly all day. Now, I''m starving," she said.

    Landon let out a breath of relief. "Oh, is that all? How about we go grab ate- night snack together?"


    Tessa immediately nodded. "Sure! Give me a second; I''ll go change." No matter how reckless she could be, she wasn''t about to head out in her pajamas for a midnight snack.


    Landon waited for her in the living room while she changed.


    Without even realizing it, a smile crept onto his lips. Is happiness really this simple?


    Just waiting here to go out for ate-night bite together and he actually felt this content.


    It seemed that as long as he was with her, no matter what they did, he was easily satisfied.


    Tessa put on a red hoodie and threw a ck down jacket over it. The weather in Navoris was truly freezing. She left her hair loose; it made her look even smaller and more delicate.


    Walking out with her, Landon was immediately struck by a sense of guilt.


    He couldn''t help but wonder if he was too old for Tessa,


    "What''s wrong?" she asked when they got into the elevator; he''d been staring at her the whole time.


    “Nothing... I just think you look really good dressed like this today."


    How was she supposed to respond to that?


    "I think I look pretty good every day," she said without missing a beat.


    Landon hadn''t expected that kind of reply from her; he was momentarily stunned..


    "I''m kidding," Tessa said, unable to hold back augh. How long had it been since I had felt so rxed? It really was a wonderful feeling.


    Landon took Tessa to a fancy pizza ce. Neither of them had expected to run into Nathaniel and the others there.


    As soon as she spotted Landon, Ysabel rushed over.


    "Tessie, how''s grandpa doing? I really want to go see him too." Her dad had been keeping a tight leash on her these past few days; if it weren''t for Nathaniel, she wouldn''t even have been able toe out tonight.


    "He''s doing great. What about you? Is your dad still keeping you locked up?"


    At the mention of it, all Ysabel could do was sigh.


    "Don''t even bring it up; it gives me a headache just thinking about it. My dad''s as stubborn as a mule; no one can change his mind."

    "Fine, my treat. If I don''t drink you under the table tonight, I''m not Landon," Landon dered.


    Nathaniel, well, he was just venting: getting drunk wasnt as fun as it sounded.


    "Mr. Thorne, I was wrong! I''ll call you whatever you want if you let me off the hook!" Nathaniel cried dramatically.


    Cameron and Hudson burst outughing at the sight of Nathaniel acting so spineless.


    “Landon, Hudson and I are done eating. We''re gonna head out; you guys enjoy yourselves. As for Nathaniel-feel free to bully him," Cameron said with augh.


    Nathaniel grumbled in protest.


    "Seriously? I take you out for a meal and this is how you treat me? Cameron, you''re out of line," Nathaniel said, rolling up his sleeves like he was really about to start a fight.


    Hudson didn''t even acknowledge him; he just dragged Cameron away.


    Nathaniel''s raised fist only ended up swinging through empty air.


    "Don''t bully Nathaniel so much; can''t you see how pitiful he is?" Ysabel said.


    Hearing her defend him, Nathaniel couldn''t help but nce at her. It was the first time in forever that Ysabel had ever taken his side.


    Landon gave her a look as well.


    "Nathaniel, you should take her home. Her dad''s been keeping a tight watch on her; if you don''t get her back soon, are you sure you''ll be able to sneak her out next time?" Landon said, fully understanding his older brother''s character.


    Hearing that, whatever spark Ysabel had left immediately fizzled out.


    She wiltedpletely.


    "Tessie, I''ll wait until Grandpa''s doing better to visit him; I won''t bother him tonight," Ysabel said


    Tessa nodded.


    "Alright, head on back."


    Poor girl. She thought.


    Ysabel left reluctantly with Nathaniel, ncing back with every step she took, looking utterly miserable.


    Watching her, Tessa couldn''t help but say, "Mr. Thorne, as Ysabel''s uncle, can''t you put in a good word for her?


    There was nothing wrong with her wanting to enter the entertainment industry; as long as she loved it, that should be enough.

    +8 Pearls


    Modern werewolf society was nothing like the ancient days where everything was about brute strength and bloody battles.


    Nowadays, society was highly specialized; every industry needed skilled professionals.


    Look at Camille-born a Red Wolf with a rare talent-and she had carved out a sessful career in the entertainment world through hard work and talent.


    With the Thorne family''s status and power in the werewolf world, even if Ysabel entered the entertainment industry, no one would dare exploit or bully her.


    She could absolutely chase her dreams and realize her worth in a field she loved.
