Chapter 419 Pine and Love


    Tessa and Landon spent thest two days of the break holed up together in Wisteria Apartment, cooking breakfast side by side while the scent of lily of the valley mingled with pine in the kitchen air.


    In the afternoons, they cuddled up and watched movies, talked about the future, whispered sweet nothings. and promised to see each other every day, no matter how busy life got.


    Tessa kissed him with a smile, pushing aside the anxiety about the blood pact. I just want to hold on to this little moment of warmth.


    The break ended in the blink of an eye. On the day Tessa was set to leave for Simonville, Thorne Corp had a major project that required Landon''s personal oversight-he couldn''t take her to Simonville himself.


    Even so, he woke up early and packed her a homemade lunch with love before reluctantly moving out of Wisteria Apartment.


    Since they hadn''t officiallypleted the werewolf mate bonding ceremony yet, Landon chose not to publicly live with her, avoiding any potential criticism from the pack elders about "living together before marriage."


    When it came to Tessa''s reputation, he was always extra cautious.


    Tessa fully agreed. She''d been wondering how to bring it up when Landon took the initiative himself.


    Once the break ended, she would be swamped-not only managing the Sinir Corp business and overseeing Beauty Luxe, but alsounching her own entertainmentpany. She''d be meeting with a lot of people, and sometimes she might need to hold meetings at the apartment. In that case, it really wouldn''t be convenient for Landon to be around.


    So they agreed to keep things as they were before-spending time together whenever they could, and turning long weekends into their private little escapes.


    Their bodies and minds were perfectly in sync.


    The five-day training and two-daypetition''in Simonville kept Tessa busy from morning until night. Landon, meanwhile, was tied up with work in Navoris. But no matter how hectic things got, they made sure to video call every night before bed.


    By the time Tessa returned from Simonville, the new school term had already begun for both her and Ysabel.


    It was the final semester of senior year, packed with test after test, both big and small.


    So as soon as they got back from Simonville, Tessa and Ysabel dove straight into the chaos.


    Sinir Corp had also settled into a steady rhythm. Tessa handed over the day- to-day operations an decision-making to Donald.


    He was more than capablepletely trustworthy. With him at the helm, she only needed to check in asionally.


    After all, she was still a student./Handing thepany over to someone with Donald''s experience gave the entire team at Sinir Corp peace of mind.


    Two monthster, Thorne Corp''s project wrapped up smoothly. With that weight off his shoulders, Landon

    had more time to spend with Tessa-and could even pick her up and drop her off from school every day


    That afternoon, after lunch together, Landon personally drove her to the gates of First High. He leaned ove and kissed her lips. "See you tonight."


    "Oh, don''te pick me up tonight. I''m having dinner with Avery and the others."


    Her entertainmentpany was finally running smoothly, and Avery''s new album was about tounch. They still had a lot to finalize.


    Landon gave her a wounded look.


    Tessaughed and reached out to stroke his handsome face. "It''s just one night. Haven''t we been together every nighttely?"


    "Still feels like it''s never enough time with you," Landon said, clearly sulking.


    They were both so busy, stealing time just to see each other in the cracks of their schedules. And even then, she had to share that time with others.


    "Call me when you''re done. I''lle pick you up."


    As much as he wanted more time with her, Landon understood-she had her own career. He''d never be the one to hold her back.


    "Love you," Tessa said, kissing the corner of his mouth before hopping out of the car and waving goodbye. After school that afternoon, Tessa brought Ysabel to meet up with Avery and the team.


    Thanks to Landon stepping in, Ysabel''s father, though still unhappy about her joining the entertainment world, had eased up a little. He changed his stance, saying she could give it a try.


    If she couldn''t make a name for herself or ran into danger, she''d have to leave the industry immediately.


    It was a rarepromise from her father, and of course, Ysabel agreed right away. She was determined to seize this chance, sharpen her skills, and carve out


    a spot for herself in the entertainment world once she graduated.
