The cold wave had arrived. The temperature dropped below 32 degrees Fahrenheit and Rivertown welcomed its first day of snow in the winter season.
The days were short during winter. When Tessa exited the law firm, it was already dark. Snowflakes floated down from above, adding to the romantic atmosphere that was illuminated by the city's neon lights.
Tessa stood on the pavement, reaching out to catch a few snowflakes in her palms. An icy gust blew past, the cold seeping directly into her bones. She wrapped her scarf closer around her as her warm breaths condensed into puffs of fog whenever she exhaled.
Stephen's Maybach was parked on the curb. Tessa strolled toward it, noticing that he had already alighted from the car. He was also walking briskly toward her.
Tessa had arranged to visit Anne in the hospital with him today.
She shut the car door, trapping the icy wind outside. He was in the backseat with her, holding her close to him. Grabbing her hands, he rubbed her palms with his own hands, noticing how frosty her hands were to the touch.
Stephen lowered his gaze. His words were tinged with worry when he asked, "Why didn't you wear your gloves? Your hands are all red."
Tessa sniffled. "The car was just a few steps away."
"It doesn't matter if it was just a few steps away," Stephen said as he continued to warm up her hands. "Remember to wear them next time."
She hummed in agreement.
When Tessa pushed open the door to Anne's hospital ward, she noticed Anne sitting on the bed while staring at the snowstorm outside her window. She wondered what Anne, who was lost in her thoughts, was thinking about.
Anne didn't even react when Tessa and Stephen entered the room.
"Anne, I came to visit you."
Tessa placed the things she had brought with her on the small table nearby. Her voice was low when she greeted Anne.
Only after hearing Tessa's voice did Anne snap back to the present. She turned her head to look at them. When her gaze fell on Stephen, surprise and confusion flickered in her eyes.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
