Chapter 409 A Love Confessed

+8 Pearls

Laughter filled the room as glasses clinked, silver cut through the cake, and everyone dug into the feast without holding back.

But in the middle of it all, Tessa saw something no one else did—Avery quietly slipping out the door.

She leaned over to Landon with a soft whisper, then followed after him.

A moment later, Ysabel came up beside Landon and leaned in.

“Uncle Landon, she went after Avery. Aren’t you going to do anything?”

He shook his head.

Avery looked so different like this–nothing like the bold, cocky version of him onstage. Right now, he was just soft light and quiet keys. The silver chain around his wrist shimmered as he moved. It was the wolf bone bracelet she’d given him for his sixteenth birthday.
