His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 125
When Stephen exited from the base and turned on his phone, he noticed Tessa's missed call. He immediately returned her call.
"Tess, are you asleep?"
Tessa's words were muffled over the phone. She sounded like she was only half awake. "I'm really sleepy. I can't even open my eyes."
Stephen slid into the backseat of his car, gently asking, "Why aren't you sleeping if you're tired?"
Tessa's voice was rough with sleep, making her sound gentle. "I was waiting for you to call."
Stephen's frozen heart melted at her words. "I've just wrapped up the business I had to handle. Do you want me to go over to your place?"
Tessa took a peek at the time. "Let's make it tomorrow. I want to sleep now."
"Alright," Stephen acquiesced warmly. "It's cold at night. Make sure to cover yourself with a blanket."
"I know that. In your eyes, am I still a three-year-old child who doesn't know how to cover herself with a blanket…"
Tessa's voice grew softer and softer until she stopped speaking completely. Stephen could hear her steady breathing coming from across the line. He kept the phone pressed to his ear, quietly listening to her breathing in her sleep.
He was still unwilling to cut the call—even after the muscles in his hand started getting sore. He kept the call going until he arrived at his villa.
As Stephen alighted from the car, his driver nodded at him, saying, "Mr. Jacobson, Lawrence called earlier saying he had something urgent to tell you but couldn't get in touch with you."
Stephen buried the gentleness in his eyes as he ended the call with Tessa. The moment his line was free, his phone began to ring—it was Lawrence calling.
Answering the call, Stephen asked coldly, "What is it?"
With a trembling voice, the panicked Lawrence answered, "Something bad has happened, Mr. Jacobson. Our men called earlier and informed me that Susan's father had committed suicide by jumping off the hospital building.
"The timing makes me suspect that this isn't just pure coincidence… Also, the men I sent to look for Garret's mother reported…"
Stephen narrowed his eyes. "What did they say?" he demanded.

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...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
