His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 233

"Sure," was Tessa's disinterested reply.

"I saw the news about your engagement to him being cancelled. The two of you aren't together anymore, right? Since you're single now, can I pursue you?"

"No," Tessa responded as she got to her feet, not wanting to listen to Zachary's nonsense any longer.

Noticing how she planned to leave, he quickly grabbed her hand. He didn't manage to say a word before Tessa flipped their hands around. She gripped his wrist so tightly that it started to make cracking noises.

The pain was instantaneous, causing him to hiss out in pain. She tossed his hand aside, not bothering to hide the loathing in her eyes. "Zachary, I already made myself very clear the last time. What part of 'don't bother me anymore' do you not understand?"

Zachary looked upset. His gaze was filled with infatuation as he stared at Tessa. "I can't do that, Tessy. I won't give up on you."

"You disgust me, Zachary," Tessa spat out before turning on her heel and leaving without a single glance back at him.

Zachary chased after her. "I bet Stephen was already cheating on you with that female celebrity when the two of you were still a couple. Their dating rumors exploded immediately after you broke off your engagement with him. Did you break it off because you found out that he was being unfaithful?"

Tessa pursed her lips. Her gaze was frigid as she quickened her footsteps, refusing to answer Zachary's question.

He tailed closely after her. "Are you going to watch the entertainment industry's awards ceremony tonight? Stephen and that female celebrity are going to walk the red carpet together. It's their way of announcing their relationship to the public. Tessy, you should give up on him."

Her footsteps faltered when Zachary spoke about Stephen and Nancy making their relationship public. Seeing how Tessa had stopped in her tracks, a smile tugged at Zachary's lips. "Tessy, I—"

"Fuck off!"

"Tessy, don't chase me away. I know that you're—"

"I told you to fuck off!"
