Stephen's expression softened, his voice steady and composed. "To cook for you, of course."
Tessa tilted her head slightly, her curiosity evident in her tone. "Why?"
Stephen turned slowly, his gaze meeting her clear and beautiful eyes. "When Madam Somerton passed away, you stopped eating properly. I was worried about you."
At the mention of Tyla, Helen's face turned somber, and she sighed softly.
After a thoughtful pause, she said, "Not long after your mother got married, I fell ill. The doctor told me to rest and not overwork, so I retired and returned to my hometown.
"Later, when your mother was hospitalized, I visited her a few times. That's when I met Mr. Jacobson. He was just a teenager back then, still very young."
As she spoke, Helen's gaze shifted between the two of them. "Mr. Jacobson really cared about you. When he saw how heartbroken you were, unable to eat, he came to me specifically to learn how to cook. He's a bright young man and picked it up in just a few days."
"Afterward, Mr Jacobson would visit me from time to time. He even arranged for my medical treatment and covered all the expenses, calling it his tuition for learning how to cook."
A sudden realization dawned on Tessa, her eyes widened in disbelief. "The meals the housekeeper brought after my mom passed away… Did you cook them?"
"Yes," Stephen replied simply.
That single word stirred a storm of emotions within her, sending waves through her heart and mind.

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...
