Tessa didn't bother saying her thoughts aloud.
She had no idea what to say in the face of Lester's question. All she could say was two words. "I'm sorry."
Lester's heart sank into the abyss.
"It's fine. Just think of it as a drunkard's rambling." Lester's voice sounded slightly hoarse. "You should rest early. Goodnight, Ms. Yates."
"Goodnight." Tessa promptly hung up.
Lester stared at his screen, the call already ended, leaving behind a silence louder than words.
He felt as though his heart had been stabbed through. He had been rejected once more.
Lester wasn't heartless at all. It was just that he already had someone else living there.
Unfortunately, that person would never consider him a romantic interest.
…
Tessa spent her time drawing with Seline in her room after having breakfast the following day.
She brought out a pink hair clip for Seline and said, "Seline, I brought you a gift! Do you like it?"
It was the same hair clip she had gotten Cassandra.
When she made the purchase, she had a feeling that Seline would definitely love the sparkly pink hair clip.
As expected, Seline's eyes widened with delight. Her starry eyes never left the hair clip in Tessa's hand. "Oh, it's so pretty! Thanks, Tessa."
"Come closer. I'll put it on you." Tessa carefully clipped the accessory onto Seline's silky hair. "There. You look beautiful."
Marianne had told her that Seline was doing much better mentally. The most obvious sign of her improvement was that she no longer talked in her sleep and had stopped bursting into frightened tears in the middle of the night.
Tessa felt the guilt gnawing her heart lessen at Seline's progress.

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...
