His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 196
The tea spilled from the cup, soaking the carpet and leaving a damp stain.
Quentin flinched and glanced at the cup with a click of his tongue. "Hey, man, don't worry. Tessa isn't the type to be casual about these things."
Stephen was lost in thought as he asked in a hoarse voice, "Did she really agree?"
Quentin hesitated before replying, "Look, you know what happened on New Year's Eve. She saw you with that cousin of yours—and you guys were even talking about getting a room.
"I mean, I'd be pissed off too. Maybe she said yes just to get back at you… or maybe she was drunk and spouting nonsense. You can't take it too seriously."
"I didn't…" Stephen's voice caught in his throat. "I never said we were getting a room."
"Well, your cousin did."
Silence fell between them for a moment.
Stephen composed himself and said, "Do me a favor."
...
When Tessa stepped out of the law firm after work, she immediately noticed a white McLaren parked not too far away.
Quentin stood leaning against the car with his head down, scrolling through his phone as if waiting for someone.
It was off work time and he was waiting outside the firm, so he was probably waiting for her. Tessa started walking over just as Quentin looked up, spotted her, and approached with a grin.
"Hey, Tessa! Finally off work, huh?"
"Quentin, are you looking for me?" She glanced behind him. "Where's Naomi? Is she not with you today?"
"Nah, it's just me this time. I wanted to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
Quentin chuckled awkwardly. "I'm just looking out for you. We're friends, right?"
Tessa met his gaze with cool and steady eyes. "Did he send you?"
They both knew exactly who she meant.
Faced with Tessa's sharp, perceptive stare, Quentin suddenly felt like all his little schemes had been laid bare. He averted his gaze, feeling a little guilty.
Lawyers were scary. Those eyes could see right through his soul.
"No, no—of course not! I came here on my own to apologize. No one else is involved."
Tessa didn't comment, but her expression was unreadable.
Quentin took out a set of keys and held them out to her. "Here—this is a little apology gift from me. Just a small token of goodwill. Take it, okay?"

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
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....
