Tessa placed her belongings in a safe spot . 7 : Once she made the decision to leave , she wouldn't leave anything behind . When she returned home , it was already evening . Ryan immediately brought the wedding dresses he had personally chosen for her and placed them before her . " The mate ceremony only happens once . You can't settle for anything less ! " " Pick the one you like ! " Tessa stared at the neatly arranged white wedding gowns, lost in thought for a moment . When she turned her gaze back to Ryan , her eyes were unwittingly filled with tears . She realized how easy it was to fake love . What exactly was it that he loved ? He casually picked up a dress and handed it to her . " This one's perfect for you ! Go try it on ! " Tessa didn't refuse .

I'm with Tessa , trying on dresses . " " Alright , I'll be right there . " His voice was barely a whisper , hiding in the corner . But Tessa heard it clearly . After hanging up , he smiled and wrapped his arms around her . " Babe , you'd look great in anything . " " The pack needs me for something , so I might not be able to go with you . Choose whichever dress you like ! " Tessa knew this was just an excuse . He was simply going to meet Chloe and go shopping with her . She didn't ask any more questions , only nodded in agreement .

" Though the maid had questions , she didn't dare to ask and simply did as she was told .
