His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 98
Zachary's words lingered in Tessa's mind like a spell, leaving her restless and uneasy.
Even until the next day when Tessa visited Stephen, she looked preoccupied.
"Tessa, what's on your mind?" Stephen asked.
She fluttered her eyelashes and turned her face away from him. "What… What's with Susan?"
He smirked meaningfully. "Are you jealous?"
She puffed her cheeks, pretending to be indifferent. "Of course not. You have never mentioned her before, so I was just curious."
Remembering how that woman had kidnapped Seline and even tried to stab her, she felt angry on top of her jealousy. "How did you attract such a crazy admirer? She's completely insane!"
Stephen gestured for her to get closer. "Tessa, come over here."
She obediently moved closer and sat by his bedside.
Taking her hand, Stephen looked at her seriously. "She was my high school classmate. She pursued me fervently back then, but I rejected her clearly. Later, she attended the same university as me and continued chasing me, but I never gave her any hope."
She lowered her eyes and pouted. "That's it?"
Stephen pinched her cheeks. "That's really it. I hardly spoke to her, and we never even exchanged contact information."
Tessa remained silent for a moment before asking, "Then why did she persist for so long? Ten years isn't short, after all. It's not mere days or months."
He chuckled helplessly. "How would I know? Everyone around me knows how indifferent I have been to her. We barely spoke a few sentences in ten years.
She leaned closer and huffed. "How many sentences are 'barely'?"
He laughed softly. "Maybe five or six sentences… "
"What could you possibly have to say in so many sentences?" Her tone turned unreasonable.
Seeing her jealous expression, Stephen found her utterly adorable.
His gaze softened, overflowing with affection. "Nothing much. She confessed a few times in high school, and I rejected her twice. After that, we rarely spoke."
"You really didn't feel anything for her?" Tessa asked skeptically. "She's pretty, after all."
"Nope," Stephen said firmly, gazing at her intently. "There's already someone in my heart. There's no room for anyone else."
She feigned ignorance. "Someone else? Who's that?"
He gleamed with amusement. "Who do you think?"
She mumbled vaguely, "How would I know if you don't tell me?"
In Stephen's eyes, her sulking was pure coquettishness, melting his heart entirely. He couldn't resist.
With a smile, he said, "There's no one else but you."
Tessa turned her face away, avoiding his gaze. "She confessed to you in high school. I was so young back then."
He couldn't have liked her at that age, could he?
Stephen explained, "I didn't think about dating in high school."
Hearing that, Tessa grew curious. She looked into Stephen's eyes, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling. "When did you start liking me?"
He said, "At first, I only saw you as a little sister. I'm not sure when it changed."
She pressed on. "Not even an approximate time?"

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...
