His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 230
Hayden had booked an extravagant private booth at the restaurant. There were only five of them present, but the table was large enough to seat ten people. Hayden pulled out a chair and politely offered the seat to Stephen.
"Have a seat, Mr. Jacobson."
Stephen was used to people trying to win his favor, so he accepted the offered seat and sat down. However, it was Tessa's first time seeing how others treated Stephen, the president of Jacobson Corporation. He remained stoic despite how Hayden was trying to get in his good graces, and his distant demeanor discouraged people from approaching him.
He felt like a stranger to Tessa. It was hard for her to connect the Stephen in front of her with the one who used to willingly put on an apron to prepare a meal with her.
After Stephen sat down, Xavier sank into the seat on his right. Hayden then sat one seat away from Stephen's left. His choice had been a calculated one—if he was too far, he couldn't talk business, but if he was too close, he risked offending Stephen.
It was why Hayden had chosen to sit one seat away.
Barry sat down on Hayden's left while Tessa purposefully chose the seat that was furthest away from Stephen, which left her facing him directly. Stephen leaned back against the chair as he cast his gaze around the table. Disappointment flickered in his eyes briefly.
Xavier had witnessed the entire scene, but he could only sigh to himself silently. Stephen and Tessa were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers.
After everyone had sat down, Hayden pushed the menu toward Stephen. "Mr. Jacobson."
Stephen flipped through it carelessly and ordered a few dishes before pushing the menu back to Hayden, who added a few more dishes. Meanwhile, Tessa kept her eyes lowered, not daring to meet eyes with the man opposite her. She stared at the Lazy Susan on the table and let her mind wander.

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...
