Lester smiled and said, "Sure. It's my honor."
Tessa had always been a career-oriented woman, so she could not stop once she started talking about work.
Hence, Lester had definitely picked the right topic to start with, and they chatted throughout the entire afternoon.
In the blink of an eye, the sun gradually set, giving way to dusk.
Soon, Carla had finished preparing dinner.
Samuel and Marianne were attending a banquet that night, so they would not be home for dinner. Regardless, Carla had prepared Lester's and Cassandra's portions.
Cassandra and Lester got along well, and as Seline brought Cassandra down the stairs, she said, "Cassie, why don't you have dinner at my place tonight? We can sit together."
"Seline, I need to ask my mom for permission first. She's waiting for me at home for dinner," Cassie replied sweetly.
At that moment, Lester chimed in and said, "Your mom just called. She told me that you can stay here for dinner before heading back if you want to."
"Really? Then, I want to stay here and have dinner with Seline," Cassandra replied as her eyes brightened with excitement.
Seline cheered. "Yay!"
At the dinner table, the two girls sat side by side, while Lester sat across them, right next to Tessa.
He smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, Ms. Yates. I was so caught up with our discussion on the case that I lost track of time. I'm even freeloading now, having dinner at your place."
Although he apologized and looked like he was feeling guilty, he was actually thrilled inside. That was the exact outcome he wanted.
Tessa smiled softly. "You don't have to be so polite as it's just a meal. Not to mention, I should be thanking you for today. It's been so long since I saw Seline so happy."
"Seeing the two children play together so happily makes me happy too," Lester replied.

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...
