Quentin wasn't all that brave. So, he would usually avoid any adrenaline-inducing rides at the amusement park.
Naomi chose to sit in the front row, which was the most exciting seat on the roller coaster.
Tessa went to the second row, wisely leaving the seat next to Naomi for Quentin.
Stephen immediately sat next to Tessa. "Tess, are you nervous?"
" A little," she admitted.
Stephen reached over and held her hand in his. "It's alright. I'm here."
Tessa felt her heart flutter at his gesture. She didn't pull her hand away from his.
The roller coaster had barely moved an inch when Quentin started screaming for dear life.
In juxtaposition, Naomi was as calm as a lake. She rolled her eyes at him and mocked, "Why bother joining us when you're so scared? Aren't you just asking for it?"
Quentin blurted, "I did it because you like rides like these. Otherwise, I wouldn't—" A screech clawed out of his throat before he could finish his sentence. The roller coaster had sped up whilst he was talking.
Naomi also let out a yell now that the fun had truly begun.
Unlike Quentin's terrified shrieking, Naomi was howling with glee.
Stephen remained unfazed as he held Tessa's hand tightly. Although this was his first time on a roller coaster, he wasn't the slightest bit afraid.
Tessa's screams wormed into his ears alongside the rush of wind blowing past his hair.
Stephen's grip on her hand tightened, silently accompanying her.
After the ride, Quentin wobbled over to the nearest trash can to throw up.
Naomi stood right beside him, patting his back in comfort as she offered him a bottle of water. "You're really bad at this. Are you seriously going to keep this up?"
Quentin's face was drained of all color from the fright.
Sienna was busy stifling her giggles, thinking, "Look at them acting like a couple. My plan worked out splendidly."
After the roller coaster, Naomi eagerly suggested that they choose the haunted house as their next stop.
Quentin still looked pale. His face actually turned a shade paler when he heard that Naomi wanted to go to the haunted house.
Nevertheless, he said nothing to oppose her. Instead, he shoved his discomfort aside and followed her inside.
Tessa and Stephen also decided to join them, while Sienna decided against it. She found herself an open table at the cafe nearby to rest instead.
This time, Henry and Samantha had chosen to join them.
The minute they stepped foot inside the haunted house, Quentin promptly grabbed onto Naomi's hand and whispered, "Naomi, I'm scared."
Naomi stared at him, utterly speechless.
Before she could say anything, he sidled closer to her and murmured, "Don't walk so fast. What if those ghosts make a grab for me?"
Naomi huffed in exasperation, "Oh, please. They're just people in a costume! What's there to be scared of?"

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
I know this isn’t Stephen’s fault but I still hated how he was so careless around this bitch even after Tessa already told him it’s obvious that this bitch likes him and she looked at Tessa with hostility. If Tessa breaks up with him again, I’ll even support her. Ugh. Good luck on winning Tessa back again, Stephen. Tss. I so hate these updates....
Nooooo! Not again! We don't need a twist like this. Is it too hard for the writer to conclude with..."and they live happily ever after"?...
Finally getting Stephen and Tess back together then to tear them apart with foolishness. This is craziness...
Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
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....
