His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 252
Rivertown was truly a small place. No matter how much Tessa tried to avoid him, she never expected to run into Stephen here.
She was momentarily stunned before Lester suddenly spoke from behind her. "Mr. Jacobson, what a coincidence. Are you dining here as well?"
Stephen's voice was indifferent, his expression calm on the surface. "Yes."
Tessa did not know what to say, so she simply remained silent. Instead, she walked past Stephen and headed straight into the restaurant.
A server came over to greet them. "Good afternoon. How many guests? Do you have a reservation?"
Tessa responded with composure. "Two. The reservation is under the name, Tessa."
"Please follow me."
Seeing that Tessa had already walked in with the server, Lester smiled and glanced at Stephen. "Mr. Jacobson, I will take my leave."
Stephen stood still, his eyes lowering slightly.
Today was Valentine's Day. On such a special day, why was Tess having dinner alone with Lester? Could this be… a date?
A tightness formed in Stephen's throat. He remained rooted in place, his body stiff as if turned to stone. Even his legs felt numb.
When Stephen didn't respond, Lester's gaze drifted over him briefly.
The dim lighting in the restaurant created a romantic atmosphere, but the soft glow could not brighten the loneliness and bitterness in Stephen's expression.
The corners of Lester's lips curved slightly in an almost imperceptible smile. He knew Stephen had misunderstood.
On a day like this, a man and a woman dining alone would naturally seem to be on a date. But Lester had no intention of explaining himself.
With a composed stride, he walked past Stephen and caught up with Tessa.
Inside the private dining room, Tessa sat in her chair, staring blankly ahead, lost in thought. When Lester pushed open the door and entered, she didn't react at all.
"Ms. Yates," he called out as he pulled out his chair and sat down.
Tessa snapped out of her daze, still not quite herself. "The menu is over there. You can go ahead and order."

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...
