Chapter 17
Milk frothed on Tessa’s lips, creating a striking image.
Stephen’s gare flickered, his eyes darkening slightly before he quickly looked away. Itis Adam’s apple bobbed as he cleared his throat, awkwardly murmuring, “Get some sleep. Goodnight.”
Without waiting for her response, he tumed and strode toward the states.
Oblivious to his tuner turmoil, Tessa simply looked away and continued sipping her milk.
The next morning, Stephen knocked on Tessa’s door, before her alan even went off. “Tess, Ime to get up.”
Tessa opened her eyes, reached for her phone beneath her pillow, and checked the time. It was 9:59 am.
Perfect timing
After getting ready, she came downstairs to find breakfast already set on the table.
It was a simple but hearty plate of a big breakdast.
She took a bite, and her eyes lit up in surprise. “This tastes exactly Like the place near our law firm!”
Stephen, seated across from her, bummed in response without looking up.
She hesitated, unsure what his response meant.
Taking another bite, she confirmed the taste was identical. Narrowing her eyes suspiciously, she asked, “Did you boy this from the place behind our law firm?” “Yes,” be replied flatly.
Tessa was puzzled. “How do you even know about that place?”
It was quite a distance from the hotel–at least six miles.
Why would he go all that way just to buy this breakfast?
Realizing he couldn’t keep it a secret any longer, Stephen finally admitted, “I… came to Haverford before to see you.”

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....
