Quentin invited them to dine at a well-known restaurant that evening.
The restaurant could be found within a classic Orkfordian garden.
Unevenly-shaped stones seemed to stretch on forever, paving the way to the restaurant.
Exquisitely carved gazebos were artfully scattered throughout the courtyard. In the middle of the garden, there was a lake that was a lush shade of green, and white water lilies floated on its surface.
Occasionally, one could see fish swimming between the stems, causing ripples on the water's calm surface. There was an elegant-looking stone bridge spanning across the pond.
It was already dusk by the time they arrived at the restaurant.
The dying sunlight bathed the entire courtyard in a golden glow, its light painting the garden in various shades of warm colors.
"You've outdone yourself, Quentin. This place is absolutely beautiful," Sienna complimented with a smile.
Quentin replied, "My friend owns the place. It's not open to the public."
Naomi shot Quentin a cool look. "Another one of your female friends, huh?"
Quentin hastily defended himself, explaining, "Female friend? No! His name is Torin. He's a guy."
"He's returned to the country?" Henry asked.
Quentin answered, "Yeah. He started this restaurant almost immediately after he returned to the country. They offer Helodonia dishes here. It's pretty good."
They crossed the stone bridge and took a stroll down the garden, chatting as they enjoyed the scenery around them.
The garden was massive. It was an Orkfordian courtyard inspired by the gardens at Solaria. The garden was simple yet elegant, with its graceful scenery.
"You've been here? Who did you come here with?" Naomi glared at Quentin, jealousy lacing her tone.
Quentin couldn't help but smile at her tone. He loved seeing her jealous. She was so feisty and adorable that he just couldn't help himself sometimes.
Still, he answered honestly, "I came here once with Torin. It was just us. There were no girls involved. Even the servers were men."
Naomi was pleased with his answer.
"Henry, you know Torin, too?" Naomi asked, turning to Henry. Then, she furrowed her brow and wondered aloud, "Why haven't I heard of him?"

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. 🤣...
