Chapter 334 A Quiet Night, A Warm Goodbye

Finished

As Landon undressed her, Tessa's heart pounded so fast it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.

But all he did was slip off her coat-then, like a perfect gentleman, he stopped.

"Sleep," he said.

To keep his thoughts in check, Landon didn't even take off his own clothes. He simply lay beside her, fully dressed, one hand gently wrapped around hers under the blanket.

"Mr. Landon-"

"Shh. Don't talk. Just sleep."

Holding her like this required more willpower than he cared to admit. If she said anything else, he wasn't sure he could keep his self-control intact.

So Tessa shut her eyes, pretending he wasn't there. But his presence was far too overwhelming to ignore.

Landon gently patted her shoulder, like he was soothing a child to sleep.

Tessa didn't say anything more. She simply lay still, eyes closed, telling herself it was just rest.

At first, she was sure she wouldn't be able to sleep.
