Tessa was tickled pink by Marissa's words.
Finally, she looked at Marissa helplessly. "Say, Marissa, do you even hear yourself? I'm Stephen's girlfriend. You're currently trying to convince me to bring my boyfriend to my love rivals' birthday party, you know?"
She wasn't mad. If anything, she was just baffled by the absurdity of the request.
Marissa raised a hand and swore, "Trust me. I just don't want to leave any regrets. You just have to bring him along. You can flaunt your relationship with him. I'm totally fine with that. I just want him to attend my birthday party for once. Scout's honor."
Then, she grabbed Tessa's arm and shook it like a spoiled child begging for candy. "Please, Tessa. You're the bestest friend ever, aren't you? Just say yes. I really don't mean any harm. I promise I won't ask this of you ever again, so please?"
Tessa furrowed her brows, deep in thought.
Marissa continued to plead her case, "I swear I won't do anything to him. Just consider my decision to hold this birthday bash as me closing the chapter to my unrequited love for him."
After a beat, Tessa sighed in resignation. "Fine."
Marissa's face lit up with joy as she grinned. "Thanks, Tessa. Lunch is on me!"
…
Tessa, Marissa, and Stephen were sitting around a round table inside a restaurant's private room.
Marissa handed the menu over to Tessa, letting her order.
They had chosen an Ucresian restaurant for lunch.
Tessa ordered a few dishes she liked, one of them being lightly poached shrimp.
She had loved shrimp ever since she was a kid. Usually, the servants back home would peel them before serving them on the table. Alas, there were only her, Marissa, and Stephen inside the private room right now.
Once the dishes were served, Tessa served herself a shrimp, wiped her hands, and got ready to peel it herself.
Suddenly, a spoon swiped the shrimp from her plate.
Tessa looked up at the thief, only to find Stephen already peeling the shrimp for her.
He looked as though there was nothing out of the norm about it. He even looked elegant whilst doing so.
Tessa blinked in surprise, instinctively shooting a glance at Marissa, who looked stunned. But a dark look tinged her brows.

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....
