Startled by her own thoughts, Marissa couldn't help but question her own sanity. Shouldn't she be happy? Why did she feel a pang of pity for Tessa?
Marissa quickly shook her head, trying to drop the ridiculous thought from her mind.
Seeing how Marissa kept shaking her head, Tessa couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I think I'm going crazy. I just thought that it was a pity that things didn't work out between you and Stephen."
Tessa was at a loss for words before she drawled, "Then, I think you might indeed be losing your mind…"
…
On the last day of May, Tessa flew back to Haverford.
Back when she first fell out with her family and ran to Haverford for work, she had met a woman when she was looking for a rental.
That woman's name was Melody Brown. She was once Tessa's neighbour and worked in sales. She was kind, energetic, and warmed up to people easily.
Tessa remembered that she had once forgotten her keys when she was still staying there. She had called her landlord, but her landlord had asked her to wait as they needed to pick their kids up from school.
Thus, she stood by the door and waited for a while.
Back then, Melody lived in the unit directly opposite hers. When she saw Tessa waiting outside, she asked warmly, "Miss, did you forget your keys?"
Tessa nodded. "I did. My landlord has a spare. I just called her, but she's busy now and said I have to wait another 30 minutes."
"Do you want to wait in my place?" Melody asked.
Back then, their working hours were quite similar, so they'd bumped into each other often. Melody had taken the initiative to greet Tessa a few times, so they knew each other.
However, they'd only greet each other when they met, and they weren't particularly close.
Tessa had taken Melody's offer and waited for her landlord at Melody's house. Melody had cut some fruit, and they chatted for a short while.

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. 🤣...
