RedNovelChapter 79 I Am Tessa Wendy's POV: I got out of the car with an umbrella and climbed up the hill.
After searching around the graveyard, I spotted Caden sitting on the ground, drenched from head to toe. He was leaning against a tombstone with a sorrowful expression, clearly drunk.
"Caden, are you okay?" I approached him, holding the umbrella over his head. "You're soaked through." Caden didn't respond. He lifted the bottle and took another swig.
There were five or six empty bottles scattered around him.
He had definitely had too much.
I felt a pang in my chest and snatched the bottle from him. "Stop drinking! You're drunk, Caden!" He blinked atin a daze, as if he couldn't recognize me.
"Tessa?" He muttered a name.
Tessa? It was the first tI'd heard this name.
Who was Tessa? Could it be Rosaline? No, that didn't feel right...
Heaned down and tried to support him. "Caden, you're drunk. Lettake you home." His hazy eyes were fixed onas he murmured again, “Tessa... " I froze while staring at his impossibly handsface. This was the closest I'd ever been to him.
The graveyard was silent. This was the perfect chance for me.
Leaning in closer, I decided to take a gamble. "Yes, it's me. I'm Tessa. Caden, I'm your Tessa." "Tessa, is it really you?" He stumbled forward, leaning againstwith disbelief and joy.

"Of course it's me," I said softly, wrapping my arms around him.
My hand trailed from his face to his chest.
This was the man I had loved for so long. He'd always been cold and distant, but now, I finally had the chance to be close to him.
Unfortunately, he was drunk and had mistakenfor someone else.
"Tessa, why have you changed?" He suddenly grabbed my hand.

Bracing myself, I helped Caden down the hill.
I got the driver and Lilian to assist me, and together, we managed to get him into the car.
"Let's go back," I instructed.
The driver hesitated. "Are we sending Mr. Holbrook to Eclipse Manor?" "Of course not! We're going home!" I snapped and glared at him.
This was a rare opportunity to be close to Caden. There was no way I'd waste it.
The driver quickly turned the car around and sped home.
Finished Meanwhile, Caden leaned against the back seat. His handsface was slightly flushed from the alcohol. The usual cold, distant aura he carried was replaced by a soft demeanor.
My heart raced as I stared at him.
He murmured softly, "Tessa... Tessa...
"I'm here," I whispered, grabbing his hand.
"Tessa, don't leave me," he mumbled, gripping my hand tightly.
His warm, calloused hand sent heat coursing through me.
"Drive faster," I urged the driver.
"Wendy, who is Tessa?" Lilian asked curiously.
I glared at her. "Mind your own business and get out." After dumping the nosy Lilian by the roadside, I had the driver speed all the way home.
Once there, I carefully helped Caden out of the car, into my room, and onto my bed.
I stripped off my wet clothes and gazed at him.
"Caden, I'll be your Luna tonight." Rosaline's POV: By the tI finished work, it was already past 10 p.m..
Oddly, Caden hadn't calledall day.

It puzzled me. If he wasn't at the m office and he wasn't here, where e wasn't here..
could he be? He hadn't mentioned any business meetings in the evenings.
Was he sulking because I told him to stay out of my business earlier today? I raised an eyebrow exasperatedly. Did he think he was so important? I went to my room and texted Yura to check on Loe Studio's progress.
Yura quickly replied, "Everything's fine."
I opened my laptop, clicked on a hidden folder, and began tweaking my latest gown design. By the tI finished, it was already 1 a.m., and Caden still wasn't home.
This had never happened before.
Even if he was busy, he'd at least text or call.
I wondered if something could have happened to him.
A gnawing worry crept into my heart.
After shesitation, picked up my hesitation phone and called him. The phone rang a few times before a woman's voice was heard.
"Hello, who's this?" A woman? She sounded familiar.
Was that... Wendy? 19
