Rita took her promise seriously and beamed with joy. "Then, it's settled. I'll see you next time. We'll be heading off now. Goodbye!"
Tessa smiled and waved at them. "Bye."
Tessa only turned to her best friend, Naomi, after Lester and his family had left.
She crossed her arms and scrutinized Naomi. "Alright, spill it. What's going on between you two?"
Naomi gulped nervously, her cheeks still flaming red as she bit her lower lip. "Tess, I…"
"Cat got your tongue, huh?" Tessa jerked her head to the side and glared at Quentin sharply. "Quentin, care to enlighten me?"
Quentin scratched his nose awkwardly. "Tess, don't look at me like that. That look of yours is terrifying."
Tessa ignored him and said, "This isn't a good place for us to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
Quentin gave her a sheepish smile. "Naomi and I were planning to have dinner together here. We've booked a private room. Why don't we go there instead?"
"Fine." Tessa nodded.
So, Tessa followed Naomi and Quentin back into the elevator. She had no idea what she was feeling at the moment. It was all a mess.
She had known Quentin for years. Frankly, she'd always treated him as though he was her brother.
Quentin's father had later married Naomi's mother. As a result, Naomi became his stepsister.
Quentin had initially disliked Naomi. Eventually, their relationship evolved to him taking Naomi everywhere he went. Still, Tessa had assumed that they merely had a close sibling bond.
So, she'd never imagined that they would be romantically involved.
They eventually arrived at the private room.
Tessa couldn't help but frown at the sight that greeted her. It was painfully obvious that this private room was meant for couples.
The decor was beautiful and tasteful.
The staff had placed a vase of roses on the table and scattered rose petals across it. There was a flickering candle placed right in the middle, too. The atmosphere in the room was as romantic as it could get.
Tessa let out a sigh, plopped herself unceremoniously on a chair, and began, "When did this start?"
Personally, she thought her less-than-stellar attitude was warranted.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
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...
