Tessa gave a small nod. "Yeah."
"My family has the same idea. But you can relax. I have no intention of coming between you and Stephen. I'm just here to play along," Torin replied with a helpless smile.
"That makes things easier."
"I heard you started your own law firm," Torin continued. I thought we could connect and maybe become friends. The last time we met was a bit rushed. I did not get the chance to add you on WhatsApp."
It was a reasonable request. Tessa had no reason to refuse. They moved in the same circle, and adding each other was nothing out of the ordinary.
"Sure."
After they exchanged contact information and she tucked her phone away, Torin suddenly asked, "Ms. Yates, if you don't mind me asking… is your friend Sienna single?"
Tessa blinked in surprise. The shift in the conversation caught her off guard. Why was he suddenly asking about Sienna?
"She's single," Tessa answered.
Torin let out a soft breath of relief, the corners of his lips lifting into a smile.
Tessa eyed him curiously. "Are you interested in Sienna?"
"I actually met her years ago, back when I was in university," Torin replied.
The mention of Sienna softened his expression. Even his voice grew gentler.
"There was this one time when I went with Quentin to visit Henry. She had just gotten home from school. To be honest, I liked her from the moment I saw her. But she was still in high school then, so I kept those feelings to myself."
Tessa raised her brows, clearly surprised. "Love at first sight?"
Torin gave a small nod. "You could call it that. But I never confessed. She was too young back then, and it was not the right time. Now that I have returned and she's still single, I would like to give it a try."

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....
