His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 216
"Ms. Mercer, I'm in need of a cook. I'll send you my address—let me know when you're available, but please give me a heads-up before you arrive."
Michelle laughed. "I'm free right now! Are you home? I can come over right away."
"Perfect. Come on over."
After hanging up, Michelle turned to Stephen. "Mr. Jacobson, Ms. Yates agreed."
"Good," Stephen replied. "She often forgets to eat when she's busy. Since her new place is close to the office, you'll need to deliver lunch to her during weekdays. I'll cover your salary, but if she offers to pay, don't refuse. And make sure she doesn't know I arranged this."
Upon hearing that she'd be earning double, Michelle's face brightened. She nodded enthusiastically. "Of course, Mr. Jacobson. You can count on me—I'll take excellent care of Ms. Yates."
…
After New Year's, Stephen immersed himself in work.
He couldn't afford a single moment of downtime—because as soon as he stopped, Tessa's face would flood his thoughts.
…
In the CEO's office, Stephen sat at his desk, focused on typing away.
Quentin sat on the couch, eyeing him with a conflicted expression. "Steve, there's something I'm not sure I should say."
Stephen didn't look up. "Then, don't," he replied sharply.
Quentin hesitated for a moment before pressing on. "It's about Tessa. Are you sure you don't want to hear it?"
Stephen paused his typing, his gaze lifting from the screen. "What is it?"
Quentin thought to himself, "Of course he cares. When it comes to Tessa, he won't be able to stay indifferent."
Still, he knew Stephen wouldn't take the news well.
Clearing his throat, Quentin continued, "Naomi's been talking about setting Tessa up with some college guys recently..."
He glanced at Stephen, and as expected, Stephen's expression darkened immediately.

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...
