His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 219
In the underground parking lot, a tense air lingered around Quentin.
He slid into the passenger seat of the Cullinan and settled in. "Stephen, everything's done. Tessa's taken the car and the bags."
Stephen's fingers gripped the steering wheel, his throat tightening slightly as he asked, "Did she suspect anything?"
Quentin responded honestly, "Yes, she did ask whether the car was bought by you. But I covered it up with Naomi's help. Tessa really trusts Naomi, so I don't think she'll think much of it."
"Okay," came Stephen's low, almost inaudible response.
For a moment, Quentin couldn't think of anything to say. Stephen stared blankly into the distance, his expression empty. The only sound in the car was the soft hum of the heater.
Quentin knew Stephen was thinking about Tessa again, so he wisely stayed quiet, not wanting to interrupt.
After what felt like an eternity, Stephen finally broke the silence. "I really want to see her."
Quentin blinked in surprise. "Hold on," he said, pulling out his phone. "I'll figure something out for you."
He quickly dialed Naomi's number.
"Hey, Naomi, I just dropped off the car for Tessa, and she seemed really down. She looked completely drained. I think she's still carrying a lot of pain, and I'm worried she's hiding it all.
"Since tomorrow's Saturday and she's not working, maybe you could take her out tonight and try to cheer her up?"
Naomi's voice came through, full of frustration. "Tessa loved Stephen so much. How is she supposed to just move on after everything?
"Why does she have to suffer while Stephen just walks away like it's nothing, happily parading around with some actress? You men are all cold-hearted!"
Quentin instinctively glanced over at Stephen, who had recently and noticeably lost weight.
Dark circles had appeared under his eyes, a clear sign that he hadn't been sleeping well for several nights.
Quentin could see just how much Stephen cared for Tessa, even if no one else seemed to notice.
After all these years, this was the first time he had seen Stephen so shaken by a woman.
The calm, composed man he once knew was now barely holding himself together, visibly crushed by the aftermath of their breakup.

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...
