Chapter 548 The Calm Before the Storm

Landon had arranged the meeting at Silvermoon Estate.

The estate was heavily guarded and impossible for outsiders to enter, offering the perfect privacy for the kind of calm, honest conversation this occasion demanded. Ysabel, more nervous than Tessa herself, clutched her hand tightly and whispered again and again, "Tessa, seriously, there's no need to be nervous! My dad might be strict with my uncle and the others, but he actually responds better to softness than to defiance. Just speak normally – he'll be able to see how amazing you are."

"I know," Tessa replied with a smile, patting the back of her hand. "I'm not nervous."

"I knew it! You're the best!" Ysabel's eyes lit up. "Dad's definitely going to like you - you're my uncle's fated mate, after all!"

Tessa only smiled again, keeping the comment tucked silently in the back of her mind.

"By the way, how are things going with Nathaniel?"

Ever since Nathaniel had confessed his feelings, Ysabel had come to terms with her own and officially entered a relationship with him.

She was practically glowing with happiness every day.
