Stephen must have arranged for someone to send the clothes over that morning. He had always been attentive to such details.
When she was done showering, she came out to find Stephen sitting by the window, working on his laptop.
Seeing her emerge from the bathroom, Stephen closed his laptop and walked over. He held Tessa's hand and led her toward the couch. Then, without missing a beat, he picked up the hairdryer and began blow-drying her hair.
Sunlight streamed in through the windows, flooding the spacious room with natural light.
Stephen's room was on the second floor, so if they looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window, they could see the gardens below filled with fresh flowers.
It was midsummer now. The flowers were blooming in vibrant colors, while butterflies fluttered around them with the wind. It was like a scene straight out of a painting.
After drying Tessa's hair, Stephen brought her downstairs for lunch.
When they arrived at the dining room, the table was already set with different dishes. The food had just been prepared, and hot steam was still rising. All the dishes prepared were her favorite foods.
After they finished eating, Stephen asked, "Tess, did something happen yesterday? Why did you go to a bar and drink so much?"
Tessa's eyes flickered as she lowered her head.
After a moment of silence, she sighed and said, "My dad found out that we got back together. He told me to break up with you when I went home yesterday."
Stephen's gaze flickered as his eyes turned cold. His voice held an unnoticeable hint of apprehension as he asked, "Tess, what did you tell him?"
"I told him I wouldn't break up with you," Tessa said determinedly,
Then, she looked at Stephen with an unwavering gaze. "Stephen, I don't want to break up with you. You're the only one in my heart, and you're the only one I want. I don't want anyone else."
The anxiety Stephen felt moments ago immediately vanished after hearing what she had said.
Stephen's gaze softened, and he reached out to hold Tessa's hand. "Tess, don't worry. We're not breaking up again."
His warm and strong hands gave her an inexplicable sense of ease, and she hummed in agreement.
Then, he said, "Leave this to me. You don't need to worry about it. I'll talk to your dad."
Worry filled Tessa's gaze. "My dad currently has a big problem with you and your family. I'm worried you'll—"
"It's alright. I understand. I'll handle this, so don't worry and just trust me," Stephen answered gently.

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....
