NovelsFreeChapter 419 Pine and Love
Tessa and Landon spent the last 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. | 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.
t
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 officially completed 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 cto 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 Sinclair Corp business and overseeing
Beauty Luxe, but also launching her own entertainment company. 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 ttogether 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-day competition’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 tTessa 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.
Sinclair 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 capable-completely trustworthy. With him at the helm, she only needed to check in
occasionally.

After all, she was still a student./Handing the company over to someone with Donald’s experience gave the
entire team at Sinclair Corp peace of mind.
Two months later, Thorne Corp's project wrapped up smoothly. With that weight off his shoulders, Landon

had more tto 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’t cpickup tonight. I'm having dinner with Avery and the others.”
Her entertainment company was finally running smoothly, and Avery's new album was about to launch. They still
had a lot to finalize.

Landon gave her a wounded look.
Tessa laughed and reached out to stroke his handsface. “It’s just one night. Haven't we been together every
night lately?”
“still feels like it’s never enough twith you,” Landon said, clearly sulking.
They were both so busy, stealing tjust to see each other in the cracks of their schedules. And even then, she
had to share that twith others.
“Callwhen you're done. I'll cpick you up.”
As much as he wanted more twith 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 nfor herself or ran into danger, she'd have to leave the industry immediately.
It was a rare compromise 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.
