Quentin let out a sigh and said, "There's only so much wool we can pull over their eyes before we run out, Naomi. They'll find out about us sooner or later."
Naomi's lashes fluttered. Her usually lively voice became laced with sadness as she said, "Quentin, I can't do it. Maybe we should just end things now."
"There's no way I'm going to allow that to happen," Quentin said firmly. Then, he softened his tone and continued, "Naomi, trust me, okay? I'll take care of this."
Naomi looked utterly forlorn. "How are you going to do that? Are you going to make them get a divorce just so we could stay together?"
Quentin immediately fell silent, his brows knitting together in dilemma.
Tessa was not mused by the predicament they got themselves in.
Eventually, she sighed in resignation and conceded, saying, "I'll keep my lips sealed about this, but you two had best deal with it as soon as possible. You're lucky that I was the one who caught you two red-handed.
"You'd be in for it if some of those nosy tongue waggers found out. They'd snap a picture of you two and sell it to the paparazzi before you could even blink. When that happens, you both will be on the headlines first thing tomorrow."
She then looked at Naomi and advised earnestly, "Naomi, Quentin's right. The truth will come out sooner or later. Besides, it'll be better for you to tell them yourselves rather than let your parents hear it from a stranger."
Noami kept her head down, fixing her eyes to the ground. She didn't say a word in response.
Quentin couldn't bear to see her acting in such a manner. So, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I'm here, Naomi. There's nothing to be afraid of."
…
Tessa drove back to the Yates residence after leaving the restaurant.
She didn't have work tomorrow as it was a Sunday. So, she wanted to spend some time with Seline.
Her phone lit up when she was waiting for the traffic lights to turn green.
She had a new message on WhatsApp, so she clicked on the notification.
Lester had texted her, asking, "Are you home?"
Tessa replied, "I'm on the way back. What's up?"
Lester responded almost instantly, "Drive safe. We'll talk when you get home."

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...
