His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 367
"Stephen," she called out softly. Her voice was so soft that it was instantly drowned out by the pouring rain.
Yet, Stephen still heard her voice despite the low volume.
He turned around, locking eyes with Tessa across the curtain of rain.
She was standing by the entrance while he was out in the downpour.
The rain was so heavy that it obscured her vision.
Tessa opened her umbrella, fully intending to walk into the rain.
However, Stephen, who had been emulating a statue earlier, seemed to have had his switch finally flipped the right side up. He wasted no time striding toward her.
Since he was tall and had long legs, he crossed the distance faster than Tessa could. She had only taken two steps toward him when he arrived right in front of her.
"You haven't fully recovered just yet. You shouldn't go out in the rain," he said hoarsely.
Stephen reached for her hand that wasn't holding the umbrella and gently guided her back inside.
His hand was ice-cold. Tessa couldn't help but shiver at his touch.
Stephen noticed it and immediately let go of her. "It's cold out and raining to boot. You should go back inside."
Tessa's breath caught in her throat.
It was said that one could never fake a cold, nor could they conceal the love they felt for another.
He would instinctively place her needs first, even though he was clearly grieving.
Tessa felt a mix of complex emotions well up within her.
There was only a single dim light turned on in the hallway due to the late hour.
Tessa closed her umbrella and placed it against a stone pillar.
"You…" she trailed off. Then, she continued, "You shouldn't stay out in the rain either."
"Alright," Stephen replied, staring at her the entire time. She could see the affection he held for her in his eyes despite the sorrow swirling in their depths.
The rain continued to lash against the ground, furiously unleashing its wrath.
They stood across from each other in the hallway, the silence deafening.
After a pregnant pause, Tessa finally said, "Death is a natural part of life. My condolences."
A ripple of emotion appeared in Stephen's eyes. He stepped forward, wanting to pull her into his arms.
However, he stopped short when he noticed his drenched state.
His actions made Tessa's heart waver once more.
He had always treated her with the utmost care. Every single act he did or didn't do was something that was done out of love.
It was the little details—the same details that she couldn't possibly dismiss.

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....
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....
