His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 96
Before he came to realize it, the small table was already arranged with the various dishes.
"You made so much." Stephen smiled gently. "What's this?"
"Pumpkin soup."
Tessa picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful, blew on it to cool it, and brought it to Stephen's mouth. "Try it."
Stephen smiled and lowered his gaze, but suddenly his smile stiffened.
"What happened to your hand?"
There was a blister on Tessa's right index finger.
It was too late for Tessa to hide it, so she had no choice but to fess up. "I… accidentally scalded myself in the kitchen just now. It's nothing much, just a small blister."
Stephen's eyes turned red. "Does it hurt?"
Tessa shook her head. "Not at all."
Stephen drank the soup, gently held Tessa's wrist, and lowered his head to slowly blow on the blister.
After a few gentle breaths, Stephen looked up at Tessa, his eyes filled with distress. "Don't lie to me. Burns always hurt."
Tessa's eyes reddened slightly. "It really doesn't hurt. Compared to your injuries, this is nothing."
Stephen reached out to pinch her cheek. "Tessa, if you get hurt, I feel pain. Even the smallest injury isn't okay."
Tessa bit her bottom lip lightly, her eyelashes trembling as she instinctively acted coy, "Stephen… "
Her soft and delicate voice was too much for Stephen to handle.
He pulled her closer, kissing her smooth forehead, her flushed cheeks, and her tender lips.
Tessa's ear burned, her heart melting with sweetness.
After a moment, she pressed her hand against Stephen's chest, creating some distance between them.
"Stephen, eat first, or it will get cold."
Stephen used a teasing tone, his eyes glinting playfully. "Alright. We kiss again after eating?"
Tessa shook her head. "It's fine. Not a big deal."
Stephen's voice was low, carrying a hint of tenderness that was difficult to detect. "By the way, when did you learn to cook?"
Tessa was a pampered young lady who had never needed to lift a finger. Cooking and washing dishes were tasks far from her everyday life.
Tessa replied, "Just in the past couple of days."
The room door was pushed open before Stephen could press further, and a group of people entered.
Sophia was in the front, carrying a food container. "Stephen, I brought you some food."
Behind her were Quentin, Naomi, and the hired caregiver.
Her gaze swept over Tessa, and she smiled. "Tessa, you're here too. Have you eaten? Would you like to join us? The housekeeper just prepared it."
Tessa smiled and declined. "Thanks for the offer, but I just ate."
Stephen followed suit. "I also just had my meal."

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....
