NovelsFreeChapter 386 A Promise for This Life
- Finished
The road to the cemetery was quiet-unsurprising, given that it was the day after Christmas. Most people
wouldn't choose today to visit a grave.
By the tTessa and the others arrived, Yardley’s group was already there.
The chill in Navoris still clung to the air. As Tessa stepped out of the car, she pulled out a scarf and gently
wrapped it around her grandfather's neck.
The old man leaned on his cane, slowly making his way toward his wife's grave.
Tessa followed close behind, arms full with the bouquet of lilies.
The moment they reached the headstone, the old man’s eyes turned red.
“Heyl,” he said softly, voice trembling, “it’s been a while. | hope you won't blme for not coming sooner. Not
taking good care of you... that’s the biggest regret of my life.”
“In the next life-if there really is such a thing... | used to think it was nonsense, but now | hope it’s real. Because
if it is, I'll cfind you. And when | do, you're not allowed to hide from me, okay? I'll show up with a huge
bouquet of lilies and propose to you all over again. Next time, I'll be more romantic, | swear.”
Louis silently handed him a tissue.
“What for? I'm not crying.” The old man gave a soft chuckle. “I don’t have much tleft anyway. Soon, I'll be
able to see her again.”
Louis, who'd been by his side for decades, knew all about his deep, unwavering love.
“Yeah,” Louis murmured. “It won't be long. We're all getting old.”
Landon stood quietly behind them, his heart stirred deeply by what he saw and heard.

go.
As he gently took her hand, warmth spread through Tessa’s chest.
Having him here, in this moment, meant everything.
After a while, the old man grew tired. Louis helped him to visit the nearby graves of a few old friends.
Left alone with Tessa, Landon suddenly released her hand and stepped forward.
He bowed deeply in front of the tombstone.
“Grandma,” he said with heartfelt sincerity, “I'm Landon. From now on, I'll take care of Tessa and Grandpa. You
don’t have to worry.”
Tessa’s heart gave a sudden jolt.
Landon stood there for a few more moments, speaking softly to her grandmother. Then he turned and

“Want to stay a little longer?” he asked. The others had already gone back to the car. The air up on the hill

Yardley stood there awkwardly, displeased but powerless to show it.
It was, after all, Alpha Landon. He didn’t dare say much.
