Stephen smiled and said, "Oh, is that so? I don't see it that way. In my opinion, someone who has rejected you once will only reject you again. If feelings aren't involved, then there's nothing you can do about it.
"However, if someone loves another, they can always fall back in love again. Because love is love, and when there's no love, it will remain that way."
"Are you really that confident, Mr. Jacobson? How should a broken heart heal after it's been hurt?
"If someone had loved their partner with everything they had only to end up getting hurt, would they still be stupid enough to give that certain someone another chance to hurt them again?"
The smile on Stephen's lips faded, and he quickly fell silent.
Soon, they arrived at the basement, and the elevator door opened. Stephen walked out, and so did Lester, who had a dark expression on his face.
Lester thought, "Stephen, just you wait and see."
…
After getting off work on Friday, Tessa had finished packing up and was leaving her office when she ran into Lester.
Lester's expression remained calm and composed as he said, "Ms. Yates, there's a few things I would like to clarify with you. I'd feel uncomfortable if I waited until after the weekend."
"What is it?" Tessa asked.
Lester responded, "This isn't a good place to talk. Why don't we head over to the park for a stroll? We can talk as we go."
Seeing how Lester seemed to genuinely have something important to speak to her about, she hesitated briefly before nodding. "Alright."
It got dark early, considering it was already April. The sun was setting at around 6:00 pm, and the air felt warm around them.
Tessa wore a gray suit with her hair draped behind her. The wind blew, causing the few strands of hair tucked behind her ear to flutter along the evening breeze, making her look particularly stunning.
Lester watched and felt his breath get caught in his chest.
They were walking side by side, and Tessa was focused on looking ahead. Hence, she missed the affectionate look in his eyes.
"Mr. Cooper, what did you want to talk to me about?" Tessa asked calmly.

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...
