His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 443
Stephen noticed Marissa staring at him, but his expression remained calm and steady.
"Tessa loves eating salmon, but she often gets tiny bones stuck in her throat. So I always remove them for her," he said flatly.
Marissa fell silent at that.
Seriously? Who even asked? She was pretty sure she hadn't asked him anything this time.
Tessa tugged awkwardly at the corner of her mouth, visibly uncomfortable. She really hadn't meant to show off in front of Marissa. But anyone with half a brain could tell that Stephen was doing it on purpose.
Marissa picked up the tab for this meal. Was she going to hold it against Tessa afterward?
Tessa couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Her conscience was too strong for this situation. During the course of the entire meal, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
But what could she do? She still saw Marissa as a friend.
After lunch, Stephen drove Tessa back to her law firm. Marissa left on her own.
When they arrived downstairs at the firm, Stephen leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Tessa's forehead.
"Tess, I won't go up with you. There's still work I need to take care of at the office."
Tessa looked at him and asked, "Did you do that on purpose just now?"
"Do what?"
"Show off in front of Marissa. Peeling shrimp, picking out the fish bones—all of that."
Stephen gave a small smile. "I wouldn't call it showing off. Even if she wasn't there, I would've done the same for you."
Back at the restaurant, when Marissa had commented, "Who knew you'd be the type to peel shrimp for someone", Tessa had remembered. Stephen had always done that for her back when they were dating.
Whenever they ate shrimp, he was the one who peeled them for her. Picking out the fish bones for her wasn't a first-time occurrence either.
Tessa wanted to say something, but Stephen spoke first.
"Though I will admit… I did want her to see it. I wanted her to know that my heart and eyes are only for you. Hopefully, she'll give up sooner."
Hearing that, Tessa suddenly remembered what Marissa had asked her earlier that morning.
She hesitated, then asked, "Do you know next Saturday is Marissa's birthday?"

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....
