The next day arrived in no time.
It was New Year's Day, and Tessa returned to the Yates residence.
Both Marianne and Samuel were there.
As soon as Tessa walked in, Marianne greeted her with a warm smile. "Tessa, you're back! Lunch is almost ready. Go wash up first."
Tessa had woken up with a pounding hangover from the night before, not managing to get up until 11:00 am. After quickly showering, dressing, and driving home, she arrived just in time for lunch.
Seline came running over in her leather shoes, throwing her arms around Tessa's legs. "Hey, Tessa!"
Tessa smiled, reaching into her bag to pull out a gift. She handed it to Seline, saying, "Happy New Year, Seline."
Seline's face lit up as she took the gift, planting a kiss on Tessa's cheek.
Samuel then handed her a bag. "Here's your New Year's gift. Go ahead and open it."
Intrigued, Tessa took the bag and opened it.
Inside was a key and a property deed.
Samuel spoke casually, "Tessa, this place is close to your office, so it'll make your commute easier. I know you young people love celebrating New Year's, so consider this your New Year's gift from me. The car was chosen by Ms. Connors, and it's in the garage. You can check it out after lunch."
Tessa's eyes sparkled, and warmth filled her heart. "Thank you, Dad. And thank you, Ms. Connors."
She was truly touched by their kindness.
After lunch, she scrolled through her phone absentmindedly and noticed a new message on WhatsApp.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She held her breath as she opened the message request, only to be hit with a wave of disappointment as it wasn't from Stephen.
Zachary's contact had long been blocked and deleted, but now he had created a new account to reach her.
At first, Tessa couldn't recognize the number, but the message attached was unmistakable.
"Did you break up with Stephen? I told you all men are the same. You just wouldn't listen. Tessa, come back to me."

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
