Wynn fell silent for a moment. When she answered, she sounded very different. In fact, she even stammered, "I-I've eaten."
Tessa immediately knew what was going on.
Wynn overheard them, too?
Tessa started screaming internally. Her face turned even redder at the thought.
It was all Stephen's fault! He made her lose her sense of reason by kissing her like… like that!
That damned kiss even made her forget that she usually had dinner with Wynn every evening.
Wynn must've sought her out during dinner time.
"A-Alright, then," Tessa stammered out a response and ended the call.
…
After dinner, Stephen pulled out all the stops just to convince Tessa to let him stay the night.
He swore that he wouldn't try anything later and only wanted to hold her while they slept.
Tessa's mind replayed just how she had forced him into hiding when Marianne dropped by earlier, making it seem as though she was ashamed of him. She still felt guilty about that, and because of that guilt, Tessa eventually caved to his request.
Fortunately, Stephen kept his word and didn't try anything. He simply hugged her as they slept.
However, Tessa could sense someone touching her later that night.
She was half-asleep but could still tell that someone was squishing her cheeks, pinching her nose, and even kissing her lips.
It was quite annoying.
She knew that Stephen wouldn't behave himself.
"Oh, screw it," she thought blearily.
She was just way too tired to muster any strength to reprimand him. So, she decided to ignore it.
Tessa slept very soundly that night.
She wasn't plagued by vivid dreams, nor did she wake up in the middle of the night. In other words, she had a wonderful and restful sleep.
It was Sunday today, and she didn't need to wake up early to go to work. Naturally, that meant she didn't set an alarm to rouse her from her slumber.
When Tessa finally opened her eyes, she saw that the clock on the wall was pointing to the number 10. It was already 10:00 am.
She felt as though a truck had run her over. The soreness from yesterday still lingered in her bones. She shifted slightly and saw a forearm beneath her neck.

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....
