Fell for the Alpha-less Queen (Tessa and Landon) novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521 A Long Night, A Gentle Dawn

Knowing she was exhausted, Landon didn’t disturb her. He simply drove in silence.

Her face still wore heavy stage makeup.

It had begun to smudge a little.

But even like that, it didn’t take away from her beauty in the slightest.

One of Landon’s hands held hers.

The other rested on the steering wheel.

“I know you’re tired. Sleep for a while, okay? I’ll wake you when we get there.”

“I’m alright. Let me keep you company.”

It was already past 2 a.m.

He had to be exhausted too.

She didn’t want him driving alone while tired–it was dangerous.

“Just trust me and rest, alright?”

Tessa smiled. Her delicate face lit up with that stunning smile.

“I do trust you. But I still want to stay with you. I don’t want you to be alone.”

It wasn’t about doubt. She just wanted to be there.

He’d waited so long for her at the stadium.

Quietly, patiently.

Now it was her turn to sit with him.

But her eyes were struggling to stay open.

Landon’s heart ached for her.

The wind tousled her long hair.

“Alright, trust me—I’m not even a little sleepy. You’re clearly worn out. Get some rest. It hurts me to see you like this.”

Tessa turned her head to look at him, her gaze calm and sincere.

There was something incredibly gentle and obedient about her expression.

“Sleep. We have a whole lifetime together. There’s no rush.”

“Okay.”

Tessa really was exhausted.,

Chapter 521 A Long Night, A Gentle Dawn

In just a few minutes, she had fallen asleep.

Landon pulled into Wisteria Apartment. Secing she was sound asleep, he didn’t wake her,

He got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and gently lifted her into his arms.

Then he headed toward the elevator.

Back at the apartment, he laid her down carefully on the bed.

Looking at the heavy makeup still on her face, Landon frowned slightly.

Sleeping in full makeup must be uncomfortable.

He had never removed makeup before, so he pulled out his phone and looked up how to do it.

When he saw how many steps were involved, his frown deepened.

Still, he followed the instructions online–fetching makeup remover and cotton pads–and began carefully taking off her makeup, bit by bit.

From the moment he touched her, Tessa had actually woken up.

But she was too tired to open her eyes.

And seeing how gentle and careful he was, she didn’t stop him.

His touch was soft and delicate. Being cared for like this… she quickly drifted off again.

Because he was unfamiliar with the process, removing her makeup took nearly half an hour.

Afterward, he warmed a towel and wiped her face and neck.
