Xavier shook his head helplessly. He could now tell that Stephen was a hopeless romantic, the type that couldn't be saved. Stephen never lacked any suitors when he was growing up, but he had always been calm when facing them.
Susan was amongst them, and although she had clung to him like a leech, he had never once shown any interest in her.
In the past, Xavier assumed that Stephen's lack of interest in women was due to his frigid nature. His opinion only changed after he saw Tessa's photo in Stephen's villa. It wasn't that he was disinterested in women.
He had only seemed that way because he already had someone in his heart. Stephen had rejected all his other suitors for Tessa's sake.
…
Hayden was already wasted by the time dinner was over. The restaurant manager had ordered a car for Hayden in advance, so he was the first to leave. The moment they arrived at the entrance, Barry bid farewell to Stephen and Xavier. "Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Lumen, we'll be taking our leave now."
Stephen kept quiet. Xavier knew that it wasn't convenient for Stephen to say his truest thoughts, so he decided to give him a hand. "Are the two of you getting a cab to go back?"
Barry replied, "Yes. Ms. Yates and I are here for business, so we're staying at a hotel."
Stephen's brow furrowed after hearing his words. Xavier knew that he was worried about Tessa returning to the hotel with a middle-aged man who was partially intoxicated. He quickly offered, "Let me send Ms. Yates back. I didn't drink just now, so I can drive."
Barry looked at his phone. He had just placed an order on the e-hailing service app. "Why didn't you say so earlier?" he wondered in his heart.
It would be too shameless of Barry to cancel the e-hailing service to ask whether Xavier could send him back as well. He said, "Then, I'll leave her in your safe hands, Mr. Lumen."
However, Tessa rejected Xavier's offer. "No need to trouble yourself. I can just call a cab," she said, preparing to follow up on her words.
Half-jokingly, Xavier asked, "Ms. Yates, are you worried about being with me?"
Her eyes flickered toward Stephen before she locked gazes with Xavier. Politely, she explained, "You know that's not what I mean, Mr. Lumen."
Smiling, Xavier replied, "Then, you should come along with me, Ms. Yates. Your hotel is along the way, anyway."

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...
