Chapter 39 I Will Always Be Here

“That’s right! I’m so mad!“Flex bellowed in Landon’s mind, his voice brimming with frustration. “Tessa doesn’t trust us at all! She never confides in us when something happens! I’m livid!”

Yet, on the surface, Landon remained composed. He merely said, “No,” in a detached tone, without even glancing at her.

That only solidified Tessa’s suspicions. He was mad.

After dinner, Ysabel retreated to her room to shower, leaving only Tessa and Landon in the living room. “Why are you mad?” Tessa genuinely couldn’t understand.

“I want to be the first person you think of when something happens,” Landon said, his voice low but firm.

Tessa was utterly clueless when it came to relationships. If he hadn’t spelled it out for her, she probably never would have realized.

“Alright, I understand.” Though, in truth, she had long since grown accustomed to handling everything on her own.

-Landon let out a quiet sigh, exasperation flickering in his eyes.

Suddenly, his large hand enveloped hers.

His grip was firm, his palm warm. The unexpected contact sent an involuntary jolt through Tessa’s body, her heartbeat quickening against her will.

His touch had an undeniable effect on her, filling her with a sense of security, as though no matter what happened, he would always be there to shoulder the burden.

Her gaze trailed upward until she met Landon’s deep brown eyes.

In that instant, the world around her faded away. All she could hear was the steady pounding of her own heartbeat, growing louder and louder, drowning out everything else. In her eyes, in her heart, there was only him.

“I’ll always be here,” Landon said, his voice unwavering. You can trust me, always.”
