PopularNovelChapter 488 More Than Goodbye At the appointed time, Avery still hadn't arrived at Silvermoon Estate, but Ms. Tessa didn't leave. She remained seated, waiting patiently.
Silvermoon Estate was known for its strict privacy and high-level security. With dedicated personnel and fully enclosed barriers, even someone as popular as Avery didn't need to worry about being spotted by the public. No one would be able to track his movements here, much less expose anything he did inside.
It was a long wait before Avery finally showed up.
"I thought you weren't coming," Ms. Tessa said.
"Sorry. Something cup unexpectedly and delayed me." "It's alright. I haven't been waiting that long." She had time, after all.

He'd always been like that—no matter what the situation was, he always put her preferences first.
Seeing this, Ms. Tessa didn't know what to say. After a moment, she picked the menu back up and added two dishes Avery liked.
The waiter, recognizing the superstar in the private room, didn't react at all and simply went about his job. "You don't look so great," Ms. Tessa said bluntly.
Avery patted his face. "Had too much to drink last night. Not feeling great today." "You drank? With who?" "Your Landon," Avery said without hesitation.
Mr. Landon really was good to Ms. Tessa. He paid attention to everything about her. He'd cto see Avery last night because of this situation-because he didn't want to see her worried.

He's your fated mate, and he treats you so well. That's enough to set my mind at ease." "Avery, I don't want to hear you talk like that-like you're saying goodbye forever." They were best friends.

My family just wantsto stop working and chto inherit the family estate." "What?" Ms. Tessa blinked, stunned.
He had never once mentioned his family before. This was the first tshe'd even heard of them.
And now they suddenly wanted him to cback and inherit everything? "The real question is-do you want to go back?" she asked. If he didn't want to, he could just keep singing.
"Tessa, you know I'm an adult now. Sthings aren't about what I want. It's tI went hand took on the responsibilities that are mine." People couldn't be selfish forever. He'd been selfish long enough.

She understood exactly how he felt. Just like her-she didn't care much about the Sinclair Corporation. But singe her grandfather hoped she would take over, hoped she would carry it forward, how could she let him down? Sthings weren't just about passion. They were about duty.
"Is that really all it is?" she asked. She couldn't shake the feeling that he still wasn't telling her everything.
"Alright, don't overthink it. You know how I am. If I didn't want to go, no ope could force me, right?" "So you're really going to leave, just like that?" He'd been with the Avery band for so long. Could he really walk away? "Yes." He had to.
Because nothing was more important than keeping Ms. Tessa and the others safe.
