His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 255

Could it have been Zachary? That seemed unlikely. He did not know her current address.

This apartment was a recent gift from Samuel, and aside from her family, only her two closest friends knew where she lived.

But the store assistant had said that a man had sent the gift.

Tessa could not make sense of it.

After a moment of contemplation, she placed the necklace back into the gift box and called the store again to ask if it could be returned for a refund.

She had no intention of keeping it. The money should be refunded to the original buyer's account.

The store assistant explained that a refund was possible, but the purchaser would have to come to the store in person to process it.

Tessa let out a sigh of frustration. If she knew who had bought it, would she have needed to call and ask?

But she reminded herself that the assistant was just an employee and not at fault. After a few polite words, she ended the call.

With little thought, she tossed the necklace box into the storage cabinet.

At Sienna's villa, Naomi held the brand-new handbag she had just received, admiring it with undisguised delight.

Sienna, however, looked slightly guilty. "Naomi, are we really doing the right thing?"

Naomi waved off her concern. "It's fine. Stephen broke up with Tess to protect her. It's not like he actually cheated. You know Nancy is just his cousin, right?"

"He didn't fall out of love, but breaking up still hurt Tess. As her best friends, aren't we kind of betraying her by doing this?"

"Oh, come on. All we did was give him her address. Stephen knows what he's doing. He won't do anything reckless, so there's no need to worry."

Sienna frowned. "If Tess finds out we sent her flowers out of guilt, do you think she'll be mad?"

Naomi coughed awkwardly. "What are you talking about? It wasn't guilt. The flowers were… a symbol of friendship! That's it. A symbol of friendship!" She nodded firmly as if trying to convince herself.

Sienna was left speechless.

"Naomi, didn't you just say two days ago that Tess and Lester made a good match? Why are you suddenly siding with Stephen again on Valentine's Day?"

"He paid more. Besides, Stephen genuinely loves Tess, and we've known him for so long. Helping him out a little is not a big deal, right?" Naomi replied matter-of-factly.
