Love the Wolfless Power Girl at First Sight

Chapter 380 Not Just Anyone

By the time they sent Nathan off, it was already past two in the afternoon.

With that huge problem out of the way, Tessa finally had a moment to breathe. She wandered the streets alone for a while, then thought of Avery–he probably hadn’t gone home either. So she swung by the villa where he and the band stayed.

The rest of the band had all gone home for Christmas Eve, but Avery’s relationship with his family was… complicated. He’d always resisted going back.

Tessa knew the gate code and let herself in.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped inside, she heard rock music blasting from upstairs. Tessa instantly knew–Avery still hadn’t gone home.

She followed the sound to the practice room, opened the door, and found Avery alone, working on music. He was playing the new song she had just written.

Tessa walked in and sat down on the floor, listening to him play. As expected, Avery understood her better than anyone–he captured exactly what she wanted to express with that piece.

Avery didn’t look surprised to see her. Once he finished playing, he asked, “Well? Did it feel the way you imagined?”

“Yeah, it did. You’ve always been the one who gets me best.”

Avery said nothing. He just opened two bottles of cocktail, handed her one, and sat down across from her with the other.

“What brings you here?” he asked. Honestly, he’d thought no one in the world even remembered he existed tonight.

“What’s with the melodrama?” That wasn’t like him at all.

Avery said, making a tiny gesture with his fingers. “Just felt
