Tessa stood still as she watched that familiar figure approach step by step. The sharp, chiseled features of his handsome face became clearer through the rain.
The short distance between them seemed to soften Stephen's usually stern brows as if the damp air had melted away some of his edge.
He stopped in front of her and gazed at her with eyes filled with warmth and joy. His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke. "Tess..."
Her eyes remained cool as she tilted her face slightly to look at him. "Is something wrong?"
His Adam's apple bobbed. "Seline has been rescued."
Her eyes widened instantly, and her voice rose with excitement as she stepped forward. "Really? Where is she? Has she returned to the country? Take me to see her!"
He replied gently, "Yeah. She just arrived in Rivertown. I sought you out for this."
"I'll go with you." Her eyes started to glisten, and she whispered, "Thank you..."
Stephen's throat tightened. His voice was rough as he said, "You don't have to thank me."
She followed him to the car. As he opened the door for her, he instinctively placed his hand above the frame to prevent her from hitting her head.
She noticed this. Her eyelashes quivered as she lowered her gaze, saying nothing.
After closing her door, he walked to the driver's side, got in, and started the car.
"Do you want to grab breakfast first?" he asked, glancing at her as they waited at a red light.
She shook her head. "No, I just want to see Seline as soon as possible."
"Alright," he said without pressing the matter.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Lawrence.
"Prepare a spread of food—egg and cheese sandwiches, beef sausages, scrambled eggs with bacon, pancakes with maple syrup, and a side of oatmeal. "
They were all her favorites.
Lawrence replied, "Got it, Mr. Jacobson."
Inside the car, it was just the two of them. Silence filled the air.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
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...
