The sky began to pale with the first light of dawn, and the faint morning glow filtered through the glass window, casting a soft light on Tessa's pale, haggard face.
She had sat by the window all night, only dozing off when morning came as she leaned against the glass.
It wasn't a good sleep. She had dreamt of Stephen several times, waking up startled each time.
In the last dream, she saw Stephen standing in front of her, holding hands with Nancy. His eyes were filled with happiness as he smiled and told Tessa he was getting married, asking her to attend the wedding.
Of course, Tessa cried in the dream. When she woke up, there were tear stains on her cheeks.
Outside the door, the housekeeper knocked softly. "Ms. Yates, are you awake? Lunch is ready."
Tessa wiped her tears, walked to the door, and pulled it open. "You go ahead and eat first. I need to take a shower and change before coming down."
The housekeeper noticed Tessa's pale face and the dark circles under her eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Ms. Yates, did you not sleep well last night?"
The housekeeper didn't use social media and wasn't aware of Stephen's scandal. She also didn't know that the engagement between the Jacobson and Yates families had been called off.
All she knew was that Stephen and Tessa were in a relationship and that Stephen cared deeply for her, having specifically instructed her to take good care of Tessa. Seeing Tessa looking so unwell, she couldn't help but ask.
Tessa was exhausted. She had only slept for five hours, which had not been a restful sleep. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
The housekeeper didn't press further. "Alright, then go ahead and shower. I'll keep the food warm for you."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me. It's what I'm here for."
The housekeeper turned and went downstairs. Tessa closed the door, leaned against it, and slowly slid down until she was sitting on the floor.
Her phone was full of missed calls and unread messages.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
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....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
