His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 387

Fred's way of handling the situation was to assign someone to keep an eye on Wendy at all times to prevent her from running away again.

Other than fleeing the country, Wendy was still able to go wherever she wanted. However, she would be under constant surveillance.

That was the exact same method Tessa had in mind.

When she was first informed that Wendy was planning to flee, she had immediately arranged for someone to keep Wendy under surveillance.

…

Ever since Rowena's funeral, Marissa had not been able to meet Stephen for over a month. She had never missed a gathering as she kept hanging onto the chance that she'd run into Stephen.

However, she always went with hope and returned with disappointment. Stephen had never once shown up at those gatherings.

Then again, Stephen's grandmother and father had just passed away recently. It was understandable that he was not in the mood to attend such gatherings.

That's what Marissa told herself again and again.

She understood that she should think logically, but the longing she felt for him only intensified with each day until she could no longer suppress it.

At first, she would message Stephen every two to three days. However, Stephen had not replied to any of her messages. Eventually, she stopped sending them altogether.

Left with no choice, she could only inquire about Stephen's whereabouts through their mutual friends.

To Marissa's dismay, aside from Stephen's company, the only other place he visited frequently was a private hospital under Yates Corporation.

Rumors claimed that Tessa was recovering from her injuries there.

Marissa had tried waiting at the hospital, hoping to catch him there, but unfortunately, Stephen had never visited whenever she was there.

She had no way of knowing his schedule beforehand, so she could only try her luck as she waited for him at the hospital.

Whether it was just a coincidence or if Stephen was deliberately avoiding her, she did not know. However, throughout the whole month, they had never run into each other.

Marissa's patience was running thin. After enduring a month of waiting, she could no longer hold it in and decided to take matters into her own hands by dropping by the Jacobson residence instead.

"Mr. Cooper, do you need anything?" Tessa asked.

"I don't need anything. However, Cassie told me that she wanted to invite you and Seline for dinner. So, I'm here to ask if you have time. From the looks of it, you probably don't," Lester said.

Tessa paused.

Cecilia had told her that Cassandra's frequent visits and companionship had been a great help in improving Seline's mental health.

If it weren't for Cassandra, Seline's condition would not have improved so quickly.

So, she needed to thank Cassandra properly for her help.

With that thought in mind, Tessa looked at Lester and replied, "I'm fine with that. You can just bring Cassie whenever you're free."

A warm smile appeared on Lester's lips. "Let's meet tomorrow afternoon, then. Is that alright with you?"

Tessa nodded. "Sure."
