His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 402
Stephen brought over another three cardboard boxes and set them down on the table in front of Tessa. She stared at them in shock before saying, "There's still so many? I thought there were only two cases? Why are there five boxes of documents?"
Stephen's lips curled up slightly, mirth flickering in his eyes. He said softly, "These three boxes aren't documents related to the cases. Open them and take a look for yourself."
Tessa shot him a suspicious look before she leaned toward the boxes to open them. They appeared to have been delivered to Stephen's office recently since they were still sealed with tape and had delivery stickers pasted all over the surface.
Stephen offered a small blade to Tessa.
"What are in these packages?" she asked curiously.
"You'll see once you open them."
Tessa opened one of the packages and saw a box that appeared to be made of a high-quality material. The logo of a luxury brand was printed on the box, and she could immediately guess what was inside. Sure enough, when she opened the box, a white handbag was nestled inside.
"What's the meaning of this?" Tessa asked, turning to look at Stephen.
"A present for you," he answered with a smile. "It's Valentine's Day today—every couple's favorite holiday. Whatever other couples have, I'll make sure that you have too, Tess."
Tessa was stunned speechless for a moment. "We're not a couple," she said after regaining her senses. "You don't need to give me any presents."
Stephen stuffed his hands into his pockets as he moved to stand before her, a smile playing on his lips. "Presents are a must when courting someone. I'm not one to hope for results without putting in any effort."
She was quiet for a long while before she sighed softly. She looked into his eyes with a serious expression. "Stephen, we can never go back to how things were in the past. Too many things have happened, and the distance between us has grown too wide for us to overcome. We can't go back."
The windows had been left open, allowing a breeze to enter and billow past the orchids that had been placed near the window. The faint floral fragrance intermingled with the damp humidity of the evening, slowly permeating the air in the room.
The incandescent lights that hung overhead shone down on them like the daytime sun.
Stephen stood before Tessa, casting a dark shadow over her. His eyes were lowered as he stared unwaveringly at her. His voice was low and slightly hoarse when he murmured, "I'm still standing in the same place. I'm still waiting for you to turn around to look at me again."
Tessa kept her eyes on the ground, too afraid to look at him. She kept her head lowered and stayed mute.

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...
