His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 251
When Tessa felt embarrassed, she would involuntarily blush. She quickly shook her head and denied it. "You misunderstood. He is my business partner, not my boyfriend."
The renovation worker scratched his head sheepishly. "Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought he was your boyfriend. You two really look like a couple."
"No, no," Tessa denied again.
Lester stood silently beside her, his expression somewhat indifferent.
Feeling a little awkward, Tessa stole a glance at him and noticed the subtle shift in his expression. She hesitated before apologizing. "I didn't expect the workers to misunderstand. If this made you uncomfortable, I'm really sorry."
Lester smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Are you that eager to distance yourself from me? You were quick to deny it."
"Huh?" Tessa was momentarily stunned. "That's not what I meant. I was just worried it would be awkward for you… and that you might misunderstand," she explained quickly.
Lester raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening. "Misunderstand what?"
Tessa averted her gaze, pressing her lips together in silence.
Lester seemed to see right through her thoughts, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. "Afraid I'd think you like me?"
Tessa's blush deepened. After a moment of hesitation, she hummed softly in acknowledgment.
Lester found her reaction amusing. "Do I seem like someone who is that full of himself?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just… I heard from Naomi and Sienna that many girls confessed to you, but you rejected all of them. I figured you might be tired of all the attention and dislike women showing interest in you.
"I was worried you might misinterpret my intentions… and then refuse to work with me. Do you get what I mean?" Tessa hurriedly explained.
Lester listened to her explanation, his eyes warm, then suddenly chuckled.
"What are you laughing about?" Tessa asked.
When Lester smiled, he gave off an air of warmth, like a gentle spring breeze.
His charm was entirely different from Stephen's.

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. 🤣...
