Tessa could tell that her face was as red as a tomato. It was as though her blood was scalding hot, ready to release some steam out of her pores. She felt as though she was completely enveloped in a wave of heat brought on by passion.
Stephen opened his eyes and loosened his hold on Tessa.
Tessa's breathing was still coming in soft pants as she looked at Stephen dazedly. His deep eyes felt like whirlpools, ready to draw her in and eat her whole.
His voice was low, carrying with it a hint of content and satisfaction. "You're right. It was sweet, but… you're far sweeter than the candy."
Tessa's face flushed further upon hearing his words.
…
Tessa lay in her bed after her shower that night. She was on an adrenaline high, unable to fall asleep.
Her time together with Stephen seemed to be playing in her mind on repeat.
They had kissed twice in just one day.
It felt like a dream.
It had been half a year since they broke up. Yet, so much had happened over the course of those six months.
Of course, she could tell that Stephen had feelings for her. However, she had been trying to stop herself from reciprocating.
Perhaps her iron hold on her emotions had gone slack because she was in Eraline, where no one knew who she was. Perhaps she was behaving this way because she did not have to worry about her father's opinions.
There was also a chance that the pain etched into her very soul was slowly fading away because of the tranquil scenery, allowing her a chance to finally breathe.
Suddenly, she couldn't resist giving up all control. She no longer wanted to shackle herself.
The walls she had built around her emotions were gone. Now, all the emotions she had been trying so hard to hold back were surging forth like an unstoppable tidal wave.
The embraces they had shared, the kisses under the gentle night breeze, the warm sensation pressing against her skin, and her pounding heart—all of it seemed to linger in her mind.
Although she and Stephen had reconciled, there was also the matter of her father's disapproval. She had no idea how to tell him about her decision.
After all, the whole family—she, Samuel, and Seline—had suffered because of the Jacobsons. They had nearly died because of James. Therefore, it was no wonder that Samuel was now strongly against her getting back together with Stephen.
When she thought of that, a sense of gloom slowly tainted the joy in her heart. She couldn't let her father know about her decision for now.
Meanwhile, Stephen felt as though he was floating on cloud nine.
The taste of that peach-flavored candy still lingered on his lips. It was so sweet that he knew he would remember this day forever.
After a shower, Stephen couldn't help but video call Tessa.
Tessa promptly answered the call.

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....
