His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 241

The room slowly faded into darkness.

After what felt like forever, Stephen lowered his head and stared blankly at the watch on his wrist.

After a long pause, he took it off and placed it carefully into the watch box.

The moment he shut the lid, his eyes brimmed with tears.

Crying was unfamiliar to him. The feeling hit him so suddenly that he had no idea how to handle it.

Tears rolled down his face, landing softly on the box.

The darkness hid the redness in his eyes, while the moonlight cast a glow over his lonely figure.

On Saturday, the Webb family visited the Jacobson residence.

As one of the most prestigious families in Rivertown, the Webbs had a rich history in education and literature.

Thomas Webb was a professor of literature at Rivertown University. His wife, Aria Clark, was a well-known contemporary essayist.

Their only son, Owen Webb, worked for the government. He was married to Ella Lewis, a respected novelist and a member of the National Writers' Association.

Owen and Ella had a daughter together, named Jocelyn Webb. She graduated from Jordanville University, the nation's top institution, with both a bachelor's and a master's degree.

Aria and Rowena had known each other for years. On top of that, the Webb family and the Jacobson family often crossed paths because of Owen's work.

Last year, Aria invited Rowena to a banquet to enjoy the blooming of spring blossoms. That was when Rowena met Jocelyn, and the former immediately took a liking to Jocelyn's poise and elegance.

After returning home, she couldn't stop thinking about setting Stephen up with Jocelyn.

The Jacobsons weren't lacking in wealth. So, Rowena preferred intellectual families like the Webbs over the wealthy Yates family.

When Rowena shared her idea with Aria, they were on the same page.
