His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Noticing Tessa’s discomfort, Stephen offered gently, “Take a look around and let me know if you need anything. I’m heading upstairs to take a shower.”

“wait“Tessa called out.

He paused and tumed around. “What is it?”

She opened her backpack and handed him a bottle of milk. “Stephen, could you have this tested? I think something’s wrong with it.”

Has expression tightened as he looked at the bottle. “Do you think someone’s trying to hurt you?”

She nodded solemnly. “I think so, but I’m not sure. It’s better to be cautions,”

“Alright, I’ll take care of it.”

Stephen pulled out his phone and made a call.

“Come here. I have something for you to take care of,” he said curtly before walking away and disappearing around the corner.

Tessa let out a quiet breath, timally able to relax.

When she had handed him the milk, their eyes had met. His dark, intense gaze had made her heart skip a beat.

His eyes were stunning, but it wasn’t just that. His entire face seemed like a work of art, and every time she looked at him, her heart would race uncontrollably. Once Stephen left. Tessa began inspecting the suite.

There were clear signs that someone had been living here. Personal belongings were scattered around the living room.

It was odd. It didn’t seem like Stephen had booked this suite on a whim. He must come here often.

Wasn’t he supposed to always be in Rivertown, though?

Tessa decided not to dwell on it. It wasn’t her business. She placed her luggage in the bedroom and immediately realized she had forgotten to pack her slippers. Just as she considered asking Stephen for a spare pair, the doorbell rang.

Tessa opened the door.
