Naomi waved her hand in dismissal and said, "That's fair. You two should head off, then."
"Bye, Henry. Bye, Ms. McKinnon," Sienna chimed in, bidding them farewell with a wave.
Henry suddenly interjected, "Why are you calling her Ms. McKinnon? We're family. Sienna, you should call her Samantha."
Sienna blinked at him in surprise.
She wasn't the only one surprised by his words. The rest of the group had also paused briefly in surprise.
"Bye, Samantha," Sienna said, changing her form of address obediently.
Samantha turned as red as a tomato from her neck to the tip of her ears. She was so flustered that she pursed her lip slightly and murmured, "It's alright. You can call me whatever you want."
"No, that won't do at all." Henry shot her suggestion down. Then, he pulled Samantha into his arms and said, "Let's go, sweetheart. I'll drive you back."
Samantha murmured softly, still blushing, "Alright."
Once they were gone, Naomi couldn't help but click her tongue in intrigue. Then, she nudged Sienna, commenting, "Sienna, I think Henry's serious about her."
Sienna readily agreed with her, adding in her two cents, "Henry does treat Samantha a lot differently from the women he dated in the past."
Naomi tugged Tessa along. "Come on. Off to the bar we go. Let's party!"
Sienna cut in, "You guys go on ahead. I have to go home."
Sienna had always been the model daughter and was never one to indulge in alcohol. So, Naomi didn't force her to stay. Instead, she just said, "Sure, go on home."
Then, she asked, "Are you two coming, Stephen, Tessa?
Stephen turned to look at Tessa, a silent question hanging in the air.
Tessa understood the look he was giving her. He would only go if she did. Naturally, he wouldn't if she didn't.
Frankly, she wanted to go to the bar so she could spend more time with him.
Unfortunately, her alcohol tolerance was terrible. The last time she had gone to the bar for a drink, she had become so wasted that she started rambling all sorts of nonsense. To make matters even more humiliating, she had ended up clinging to Stephen like a koala.

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. 🤣...
