Fell for the Alpha-less Queen

Chapter 26: A Family Dispute

"Are you planning to return to Wisteria Apartment tonight?" Landon asked after dropping her off.

"Yes." Tessa didn't enjoy staying here. She'd only come back for dinner because her grandfather had insisted.

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

"There's no need; I can get back on my own."

"Just go inside," Landon said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

Tessa nodded, recognizing his goodwill. She didn't dislike Landon's presence. In fact, deep down, she felt an odd sense of comfort and even a little anticipation when he was around-though she couldn't explain why.

Landon's silver Lamborghini pulled away, heading back.

Meanwhile, Winona, returning home in a black Mercedes, caught sight of the car. She quickly rolled down her window, trying to catch a glimpse of the driver's face. But the tinted, anti-peep windows gave her nothing to work with.

As the Mercedes pulled up at the Sinclair estate, Winona stepped out of the car, surprised to see Tessa lingering by the gate.

"Who was that man just now?"

Tessa didn't even glance at her. The household staff, hearing the sound of their arrival, opened the heavy iron gates. Without a word, Tessa walked in.

Seeing her ignored, Winona's temper flared.
