Tessa averted her gaze awkwardly and pretended that she hadn't heard Lyanna's words.
Meanwhile, Lester could only massage his temples helplessly. "Lyanna, you don't have to worry about me."
"How can I not worry?" Lyanna exclaimed. "Don't you know how worried your mother and I were for the last few years? You didn't show any interest in women at all, so we thought you might be attracted to men. We were so worried, but we also couldn't summon the courage to ask you about—"
Lester hastily covered her mouth before she could finish her sentence. "You're ridiculous!"
Tessa couldn't control herself and burst out in laughter.
Lyanna rushed to clarify the situation. "Ms. Yates, please rest assured that Lester is only interested in women. I still have some business to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave now. Enjoy the rest of your meal!"
"Alright, goodbye," Tessa replied politely.
Lyanna's eyes were crinkled into crescents when she exclaimed, "See you, niece-in-law!"
Her words left Tessa speechless.
After Lyanna left, Lester turned to Tessa, looking immensely apologetic. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Yates. Lyanna likes to joke around. Don't take her words to heart."
"Don't worry about it," Tessa responded with a smile. "I didn't think that you'd be rushed into marriage. I thought someone as outstanding as you would already have a girlfriend or even a fiancée."
Lester shot a meaningful look at Tessa upon hearing her words but quickly averted his gaze after a few seconds. "I'm waiting for someone."
"What?"
Tessa didn't understand what he meant at first. She was about to ask him to clarify before she suddenly realized what he was implying. "So it's like that, huh?"
"It's late. Let me send you home," Lester offered as he rose to his feet and grabbed his jacket.
"There's no need. I drove my own car," Tessa replied as she also got to her feet.
Lester reminded, "Don't forget that you drank wine earlier."
"Oh, you're right. I can call a driver to pick me up. There's no need to trouble you."

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...
