Seline shouted excitedly, "I love it!"
Lester smiled faintly, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. When he looked at Stephen, his gaze seemingly said, "Oh? You're learning to use kids as a talking point? Are you learning from me now?"
Stephen looked at him. The look in his eyes screamed, "So what? You got a problem with that?"
Marianne ended up accepting his gifts when she saw how much Seline liked them. She had also slightly warmed up to him again.
Despite having only a short conversation with Marianne, Stephen showed no intention of leaving.
Marianne had the housekeepers carry all the gifts upstairs so that Seline could play with them. Seline then pulled Cassandra up the stairs in excitement.
Back in the living room, Stephen and Lester sat there like two big statues, and the air between them was extremely tense.
Marianne stayed to talk for a short while before heading upstairs to play with Seline.
Tessa did not want to stay stuck between them, but they were her guests. Lester had brought Cassandra over to accompany Seline, while Stephen had brought Seline so many gifts.
It would be rude of her to just leave them there. Hence, she had no choice but to sit on the couch and watch TV in boredom.
Stephen wanted to talk to her, but Tessa was not in the mood. Whenever he said something, she would just answer perfunctorily and end the conversation.
It wasn't until Lester brought up legality issues that Tessa became interested. They began discussing their law firm's recent cases before moving on to legal theories.
Tessa slowly became invested in their discussion.
Not only did Lester have a lot of experience, but he also had a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge and had been keeping up with the latest developments in legal academia.
Seeing how animated their conversation was, Stephen's expression slowly turned cold.
Soon, it was time for lunch, and the two men shamelessly decided to stay for the meal.

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...
