Tessa woke up from her nap feeling hungry. At this moment, the doorbell rang.
She ran a brush through her hair a few times, casually put on an off-white fur coat, and slipped into her plush slippers to answer the door.
"Ms. Yates, hello. Mr. Jacobson hired me to cook for you."
Standing outside was a middle-aged woman, around 50, dressed in a black cotton jacket and looking kind.
Tessa paused. "Please wait a moment, let me check."
Since she was a stranger, Tessa couldn't let her in casually.
"Sure thing, go ahead and ask Mr. Jacobson. I'll just wait out here," the woman said with a cheerful smile.
Tessa called Stephen.
"Did you hire someone to cook for me?"
"Yes, this is Mrs. Wilson's daughter-in-law. Mrs. Wilson is getting older, and it's inconvenient for her to come over, but her daughter-in-law has learned her cooking skills. I specifically invited her to cook for you. You should find the food to your liking."
Tessa was stunned. She remembered Helen, who used to be the Somerton family's housekeeper.
Her mother, Tyla, had learned to cook from Helen. Stephen had even taken Tessa to visit Helen's house before. At the time, she had only met Helen and her son since the daughter-in-law was not at home.
She hadn't expected Stephen to be so thoughtful as to invite Helen's daughter-in-law to cook for her.
Women were always touched by small details like these. A soft, cotton-candy-like warmth filled Tessa's heart.
"Alright, I got it."
Tessa ended the call and politely said, "Please come in."
During their conversation, Tessa learned that Michelle Mercer was 47 years old and had a daughter two years younger than Tessa, who worked as an elementary school teacher.
"Ms. Yates, I heard from Mr. Jacobson that you like these dishes, so I bought the necessary ingredients. What would you like for dinner?" Michelle said as she walked in with two large bags of fresh vegetables and meat from a supermarket.
Tessa smiled. "Since Stephen recommended it, I'll probably like everything. You can decide."

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....
