Lester smiled politely.
Quentin's tone was laced with sarcasm, a cold smile curling at his lips. "Why did I just hear you asking him why he didn't accept your confession back in university?"
Naomi opened her mouth but couldn't form a sentence. "I…"
Tessa and Sienna exchanged glances. Something about Quentin seemed off today. They could not quite pinpoint what it was, but something was definitely strange.
Naomi let out an awkward laugh. "You must have misheard."
She fiddled with her phone for a moment. Suddenly, a ringtone played—one she had clearly set herself.
She made a show of answering the call. "Hello? Yes, it's me. What's wrong? Oh, right now? Okay, okay, I'm on my way."
Ending the call, she grabbed her bag and stood up. "Something just came up. I have to go. You guys keep chatting. Bye, Sienna, Tess."
With that, Naomi hurriedly left. From behind, it looked like she was fleeing the scene.
Watching her retreating figure, Tessa turned to Sienna and said, "That ringtone was not an alarm sound, was it?"
Sienna nodded. "You heard right. It was definitely an alarm."
Quentin cast Lester a long, meaningful look. "So that's her type, huh?"
Lester was at a loss for words.
"You guys continue chatting. I'm heading back too." Quentin stood up and left just as quickly as he had come.
Once he was gone, Tessa leaned in and whispered to Sienna. "Sienna, why do I feel like something is off between Quentin and Naomi?"
"I feel the same way."
…
Before long, Quentin caught up with Naomi in the parking lot.
"Running off so fast? Feeling guilty about something?" Quentin grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
Whats wrong with the typing?? There a lot of weird words...
More frequent updates please...
When will there be more chapters...
