Tessa ended the call, and Stephen said, "You don't need to pay for your friends. I've already waived all their expenses."
"That won't do. They came out to accompany me last night, so it's only fair that I thank them by treating them to something nice," Tessa explained.
Smiling, Stephen replied, "Alright."
After a while, Naomi called again to check in on Tessa and ask if she was feeling any better. She only felt reassured after Tessa told her that she was fine and was already feeling much better.
Tessa proceeded to spend the whole afternoon with Stephen.
Stephen's villa had a private home theater, equipped with a ceiling filled with faux stars, massage chairs, plush couches, and even a bed.
They had chosen a classic romance movie and sat in their respective massage chairs. There were carts filled with pastries, snacks, and drinks beside them.
Tessa enjoyed the massage while watching the movie. Sighing contentedly, she exclaimed, "This feels so good!"
"Tess," Stephen suddenly called out to her.
Tessa turned to him and asked, "Yes? What's wrong?"
"Why don't you come work out with me at the gym later?"
"I don't want to. I want to enjoy myself," Tessa rejected him almost immediately.
Amused, Stephen retorted, "You should work out a little. Otherwise, your stamina won't hold."
Tessa immediately caught the hidden innuendo and blushed. "Stephen!"
He burst out laughing, seemingly in a very good mood. In truth, Tessa was in great shape. She had done some training before, so she was considerably fit.
Once Stephen had gotten a taste of Tessa, his desire for her had only intensified. Besides, his stamina and strength far surpassed that of ordinary men.
He would go at it for at least three rounds, and each would last incredibly long. Even when Tessa cried out that she had had enough, he still wouldn't stop.
Stephen had always treated Tessa with gentleness and patience, except when they were in bed.
Ignoring him, Tessa turned her focus back to the movie.
He smiled to himself. It was quite fun to tease Tessa.
…
At the Taylor residence, Quentin was currently pinning Naomi against the bedroom door as he kissed her deeply.
Naomi struggled to break free, but Quentin held her tightly in place, not allowing her to push him away.
Very soon, Naomi gave up and lost herself in the passionate kiss.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Both of them froze in place.
Naomi's mother, Mary Wright, called out from the other side of the door, "Naomi? Quentin? Are you two inside?"
Naomi immediately sensed that there was something wrong with Mary's tone. It sounded like she was trying her best to suppress her emotions.
Besides, her mother would usually call her "Mimi", while calling Quentin by his nickname, "Quinn".
Mary had used their first names today, which was quite out of character for her.
Naomi's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly composed herself and calmed her breathing. She then said, "We're here, Mom. Give us a second."
Mary did not say another word and simply waited outside in silence.
Naomi pushed Quentin off her and took out a wet wipe to wipe away the lipstick smudges on his lips. Then, she quickly turned to the mirror to touch up her lipstick.

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....
