Marianne had quite a good impression of Lester.
Previously at the hospital, when she found out that Lester had gotten Tessa a charm from Lacroix Summit, she had immediately told Samuel about it when she got home.
However, Samuel's reaction was bland, and he only hummed in acknowledgement without saying anything else.
Marianne did not understand his reaction. Was he unsatisfied with Lester? Or has he already accepted Lester deep down in his heart?
Both Marianne and Samuel happened to be home when Lester came over this time around, which was a rare occurrence.
Lester was well-mannered and never came to the Yates residence empty-handed.
He had brought gifts during every visit. It was just that Samuel and Marriane had never been home at the same time during his previous visits.
Lester greeted Samuel and handed him the gifts he had prepared in advance. He had prepared two bottles of white wine from the 1990s and some premium tea leaves.
He had done his homework and learned that Samuel did not smoke. Other than tea, Samuel enjoyed his liquor every now and then.
As the housekeepers took the gifts, Samuel glanced through them, and a hint of approval flickered in his eyes. However, it was only a small trace of approval.
He would not allow Lester to pursue his precious daughter just because of a few nice gifts.
"That's very thoughtful of you," Samuel said politely.
Marianne's attitude toward him was much warmer in comparison as she smiled and said, "Lester, you don't have to bring us gifts every time you come here. You're not a stranger here."
Lester smiled warmly and replied, "It's the least I can do."
The second Seline spotted Cassandra, she immediately ran over enthusiastically and took her hand. "Cassie, let's go play in my room."
Cassandra smiled and said, "Sure."
Once the two children made their way upstairs, Tessa and Lester sat down on the living room couch.
A housekeeper served them some hot tea and sliced fruits. "Mr. Cooper, please have some tea."
"Thank you."
Tessa asked, "You mentioned you had a few cases you'd like to discuss. We can discuss it here."
"Sure," Lester replied with a nod.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
