Chapter 276 Stop Flirting
Tessa froze mid-step when she heard Landon''s voice.
"You decide how you want to handle it," Landon said, choosing not to make the call on his own.
After all, it was Tessa''s friend who got hurt; the decision should be hers.
"Hmm, I got it. Lock him up for a couple of days first; I deal with it after my finals are over...
"Alright."
Finished
With that settled, Landon still couldn''t bring himself to hang up. He chatted with Tessa for a bit longer until Nathaniel called him into a meeting. Only then did he reluctantly end the call.
After the afternoon exam, Ysabel and Tessa walked out of the school gates together.
When Ysabel spotted the familiar luxury car, she asked "Why''s my uncle here? Are you guys going somewhere? Can Ie too?"
These days, the thing Ysabel dreaded most was going home-going home meant getting lectured by her dad
"We''re visiting my grandpa;e with us."
"Really? Sure!"
Her whole face lit up.
Tessa brought Ysabel into the car with her.
"Uncle, I''m tagging along with you and Tessie to see her grandpa, okay?" Even though Tessa had already said yes, she still felt the need to check with Landon.
Showing up out of nowhere like a third wheel-he was bound to be annoyed.
"Hmm."
Just as she thought-he was as cold as ever.
Ysabel leaned closer to Tessa for warmth. Even though the car heater was running, she still felt cold.
"What''s wrong?" Tessa asked.
"Ysabel, sit on your own side. Don''t cling to Tessa."
Landon shot her a look.
Ysabel immediately scooted over to the other side of the car.
"You scared her, Mr. Thorne."
But as soon as Tessa said that, Ysabel quickly shook her head and waved her hands.

If Tessie kept siding with her, her uncle might actually ick her out of the car.
Seeing her like that, Landon finally seemed satisfied. He drove them to get something to eat before heading to the hospital.
Finished
When the door opened, Tessa saw her grandfather under Samuel''s care, walking slowly by the hospital bed as part of his physical therapy.
He looked like he was in good spirits, and only then did she finally feel at ease.
"Grandpa, you need to case up on the exercise. Recovery''s a gradual process; you can''t rush it." Tessa went over to support him.
"I know, don''t worry." Walter turned his attention to the girl beside Tessa and asked, "Who''s this youngdy? A friend of Tessie''s?"
Tessa never had many close friends, so seeing her bring along such a lovely girl made Walter genuinely happy.
"Nice to meet you, grandpa. I''m Tessa''s ssmate-and her good friend," Ysabel said with a bright smile.
"This little girl''s really something; you look so lucky and blessed," Walter said warmly. “Tessie must really like you! She doesn''t have many friends, so I hope you two stay close."
"Don''t worry, grandpa! I''ll always be by Tessie''s side. I''ll be her strongest support." Ysabel''s eyes sparkled as she spoke, her longshes fluttering with every word- utterly charming.
Seeing how genuine she was, Walter liked her even more.
"Exactly! Grandpa, even though Tessa doesn''t have many friends, the ones she does have are all true and loyal," Samuel chimed in.
They acted like Tessa didn''t have any friends, but even picking one at random would be enough to scare most people off.
"Mm, that''s good." As long as there were people like them by Tessie''s side, she''d never be alone-even after he was gone.
The surgery had gone well, but he was getting old; who knew how many years he had left...
"Oh right, Landie, did you take them to eat yet?" Walter asked with a cheerful smile.
"Don''t worry, we ate beforeing," Landon replied.
Hearing Walter call her uncle "Landie" nearly made Ysabel burst outughing, but she held it in at thest second.
In this world, Walter might be the only person brave enough to call the Nightshade Pack''s alpha Landie.
Everyone in the room gathered around Walter, warm and joyful. Just then, L arrived-with Winona in
