The skincare products and cosmetics on the table were all from brands Tessa liked to use.
Yet, Stephen said that these were hastily bought, so she would have to make do with them for now.
Although he had made it sound like those things would be replaced with better ones, she had also found a wardrobe filled with branded goods. They were from this season and were worth at least several hundred thousand dollars.
Hell, even the silk nightgown she was wearing right now was worth at least 500 thousand dollars.
Tessa took a sip of her warm milk and asked out of nowhere, "I've never been here before, so why do your subordinates recognize me?"
She was referring to the startling moment when the men training outside had all greeted her in complete unison. They'd chorused, "Good day, Mrs. Jacobson!"
Stephen curled his lips into a smile. It seemed that he was in a good mood as he drawled, "Guess."
"Leaving me in suspense, are you?" Tessa took a couple of sips from her milk, inadvertently staining her lips white. It made her look utterly irresistible. "Well, I'm not guessing."
Suddenly, Stephen lowered his head and kissed her, licking the milk off her lips.
It was just a fleeting peck.
However, he still smiled like the cat that ate the canary. "You taste sweet."
Tessa felt her face flush as she retorted, "There's no way milk would taste sweet."
There was an undeniable trace of mirth in his tone, which made his voice all the more alluring. "You know I wasn't talking about the milk."
The atmosphere turned ambiguous once those words were dropped.
The heated air in the room brushed against her skin, making Tessa feel as though her body was burning up.
She had just finished her glass of milk when Stephen abruptly picked her up in his arms.
Tessa was so caught off guard that she instinctively exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing?" Her voice was one of playful reproach.
Stephen smiled. "Join me for a bath,"
"I've already taken one. You should take one alone," Tessa protested softly.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
