That Saturday, Tessa returned to the Yates residence and spoke to Seline's doctor.
The doctor had said that having a friend to accompany Seline would indeed help with Seline's mental state.
Hence, Tessa walked to Seline's side and softly asked, "Seline, why don't I introduce you to a new friend to play with?"
Seline pursed her lips and questioned softly, "What kind of friend?"
"She's a girl named Cassie, and she's around the same age as you. She's also very cute."
"Do you like her?"
With a smile, Tessa said, "Of course, I do. She's a good girl, just like you. I like you a lot, and I like her too."
Seline pursed her lips and said shyly, "Then, I'd like to be good friends with Cassie. Since you like her so much, I'm sure I'll like her too."
Smiling, Tessa patted Seline's head and said, "You're such a good girl."
Once she returned to her room, Tessa sent Lester a quick message.
"Seline has agreed to it, but she's not in any condition to leave the house right now. Would Ms. Davis be free to send Cassie over for them to get to know each other?"
Lester quickly replied, "Sure. Is this afternoon alright with you?"
"Sounds good. What does Cassie like to eat? I'll buy some fruits and snacks for the two of them," Tessa wrote.
Lester proceeded to send a list of things that Cassie liked before he said, "I'll ask Lyanna when she's free this afternoon before I tell you the time."
"Alright."
…
At around 3:30 pm that day, Lester brought Cassandra to the Yates residence.
While holding Cassandra's hand, he said, "Ms. Yates, Lyanna is busy today and couldn't make it, so she asked me to bring Cassie over instead."
"Sure. You two can just take a seat. Seline's upstairs, so I'll go up and call her," Tessa said with a smile.
The housekeepers proceeded to serve Lester and Cassandra some tea, while Lester sat on the couch.
Cassandra had worn a light pinkish dress and deliberately wore the pink hair clips Tessa had gifted her last time.
Soon, Tessa came down with Seline in hand.
Tessa watched as the girls walked up the stairs and said, "You're right. I didn't even think of letting them become friends. It was really thoughtful of you to suggest it."
Lester's eyes sparkled as his smile widened.
How could he not be thoughtful? Suggesting that Cassandra play with Seline was just an excuse for him to meet her outside of the office. That way, he'd have the chance to talk to her more.
There was a heavy feeling in his chest whenever he recalled how Stephen had claimed that someone who had been rejected once would only end up being rejected again.
Tessa sat on the couch and said, "Mr. Cooper, please have some tea. Don't be shy."
With that, she turned to Carla and instructed, "Carla, could you please send some fruits and snacks up for Seline and Cassie?"
"Alright."
Lester took the initiative to converse about their work. "Ms. Yates, has the court date been set for the Helio case?"
"Yes. It'll be scheduled for the 15th of next month."
"How's the preparations going?"
Tessa replied, "It's going alright. There's just a few small issues here and there. We can go over them together since you're here."

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
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....
