Chapter 25
Was Tessa coming back to him?
He was sure of it. Tessa wouldn’t be so heartless as to leave him like this.

The door creaked open, and Wendy stepped inside.
The smile on Zachary’s lips faltered, freezing in place. Disappointment was evident in his tone. “Why are you here?”
Wendy caught the fleeting look of disappointment in his eyes and secretly clenched her fist. She didn’t bother asking who he had been expecting. She already knew all too well.
Instead, she forced a smile and said gently, “Emma told me you weren’t feeling well. I wanted to check on you. Are you feeling any better, Zachary?”
He nodded. “I’m fine now,”
Wendy walked over and sat down on the bed, pulling out her phone to show Zachary.
“Zachary, look at this travel guide to Rovanya I found online. We could go on a road trip and even hire a couple of drivers. Rovanya is so vast that driving would be much more convenient. After Kamath Ridge, we could also explore…”
At that moment, he suddenly felt overwhelmed by Wendy’s constant chatter.
His headache was getting worse, and her voice in his ear only made it worse.
If it were Tessa, she’d be worried about him. She’d make him chicken noodle soup and feed it to him spoonful by spoonful
“Alright,” Zachary out in impatiently. “Let’s talk about it tomorrow. I’m a bit tired today.”
Wendy put away her phone and lowered her head, her expression clouded with sadness.
“Zachary, are you upset with me?” Her voice trembled with a touch of grievance.
He let out a sigh, guilt flickering in his eyes.
“Three years ago, I approached Samuel myself,” Stephen explained. “I waited until Tess graduated, and as soon as she did, I went to see Samuel.
“I told him he could name his price, as long as I could marry Tess. Anything he wanted.” Stephen’s eyes brightened at the memory. After all these years, he was finally going to get what he had wanted.
“So, you’ve had a crush on her for a long time?” Quentin asked, disbelief in his voice.
“You’ve been hiding it well, Henry teased. “I’ve been your friend for years, and I had no idea. So, you’ve been secretly pining for her? You should’ve said something. I thought you weren’t into women at all I even thought you were pay!”
Quentin, now fully immersed in the gossip, leaned in and asked, “so, when did you start liking Tessa?”
Stephen kept his purfhed on his cards, his eyelids barely lifting, “That’s a secret.”
“Oh, come on,” Quentinteased, flashing a sinlik Tessa ran away from home to dodge that arranged marriage. She probably doesn’t feel the same way about you That gift she gave you? Probably just her bring polite. Don’t get your hopes up.”
Henry looked up, his voice that. “By the way, I heard Tessa has a boyfriend. Did you know about that?”

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....
