His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 253
However, Lester cropped out the lower half of the photo, leaving only the upper half where the two of them were visible. This completely changed the feel of the image. Without the background, it almost looked like a formal couple's portrait, similar to that of an official wedding picture.
That afternoon, Lester posted the picture to his social media feed.
His caption read, "A very special day."
The wording of this caption was not without a touch of calculation.
Since today was Valentine's Day, he deliberately avoided writing something direct like "Happy Valentine's Day" or "Wishing you a wonderful Valentine's." That would have been too obvious and might have annoyed Tessa.
At the same time, he refrained from using something entirely neutral like "Successful collaboration", which would have completely eliminated any room for misunderstanding.
The vague and ambiguous phrase "A very special day" struck just the right balance.
It would not make Tessa uncomfortable, yet it would be enough to mislead Stephen.
Lester had added Henry on Instagram since he had handled several cases for Henry's company.
There was no doubt that Henry would come across this post. Given his close relationship with Stephen, it was inevitable that Stephen would see it as well.
After posting the picture, Lester put his phone away, leaned back against the couch, and took a slow sip of red wine. He savored the moment with quiet satisfaction.
Meanwhile, when Tessa came across Lester's post, she casually tapped like before scrolling past it.
…
When Henry saw the same post, he immediately took a screenshot—with Tessa's like still visible—and sent it to Stephen.
"Someone made a move on your woman?"
"Why does this photo look like a wedding shot? I have to admit—they do make a good match."
Stephen stared at the message, his dark eyes turning cold.
The bright, carefree smile on Tessa's face in the photo pierced through him like a blade.
He remained silent for a long time, his gaze fixed on the image. Then, he made a call.
"How's the situation on James' end?"

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...
