Tessa continued to sing the rest of the song.
"Later on, I finally learned how to love. But you had already gone far away, disappearing into the crowd."
"Later on, as the tears streamed down my face, I finally understood that some people will be gone forever the moment they walk out of your life—"
There was a small night light in the room, casting a warm, golden glow on Tessa's gentle features. Her eyes were crinkled as she gazed at Stephen. He could see the light reflected in her crystal clear eyes.
The last time she sang was when she had gotten drunk at the bar. She had stormed up the stage and snatched the microphone from the singer's hand. Her singing was more akin to wailing at the time. Every note that she belted out had been out of tune.
Surprisingly, the short part she had sung tonight had been perfectly in tune. It was music to Stephen's ears. He slowly fell asleep to the sound of Tessa's singing, his breathing evening out to a steady rhythm.
Stephen had fallen asleep by the time Tessa was done singing. The air conditioner had been set to a rather low temperature, so Tessa adjusted it back to a higher one, making sleep more comfortable for them. She then tucked the blanket securely around Stephen.
Tessa quietly studied Stephen's image under the warm glow of the night light for a moment before pressing a fleeting kiss to his cheek. "Good night, Stephen," she murmured.
The next morning, the sunlight filtered in through the curtains and cast its rays on the couple.
Afraid that he would disturb Tessa's sleep, Stephen hadn't set an alarm. He had a habit of waking up naturally whenever he had an important event coming up anyway.
He had just peeled his eyes open and was about to sneak out of bed when Tessa began to groan quietly next to him. A few moments later, she opened her eyes, which were still hazy from sleep.
"You're awake," Stephen said, his voice slightly hoarse, his warm breath fanning Tessa's ear.
Tessa hummed in response as she rubbed her eyes. Her voice was soft and still thick with sleep when she asked, "What time is it?"
Stephen glanced at his phone. "7:30 am. You can sleep for a little while more."

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....
