"You rejected him?" Naomi asked.
Sienna nodded. "I did."
Naomi sighed as an expression that screamed "I knew it!" crossed her face. "What am I going to do with you?"
A pregnant silence descended upon them for a moment. It was broken by Naomi when she said earnestly, "You could try dating Torin. Who knows? Maybe the two of you are a good match for each other. Honestly, it's about time for you to forget about Hollis and move on, Sienna."
Sienna lowered her eyes and didn't say a word in response.
Shaking her head helplessly, Naomi continued, "I just don't understand. Hollis is handsome, but what else about him draws you to him? Babe, just because he has a good-looking face doesn't mean that you have to be hung up on him for so many years."
Melancholy flickered in Sienna's eyes before she answered Naomi with all the seriousness she could muster.
"There are a lot of great things about him other than his good looks. His academics were excellent when he was studying, and he was always happy to offer his help to those who needed it. The teachers and other students were very fond of him.
"Although his family background isn't all that impressive, he's very hardworking and always strives to improve himself.
"Naomi, I know that he has feelings for me, but he won't admit it because of the gap between our family backgrounds. He's been pouring all his efforts into his business for the past few years, which is why I want to keep waiting for him."
"You're blinded by your love for him." Naomi didn't beat around the bush and pointed out the reality of the situation to Sienna.
"His academics are good because he had no other option but to study hard. He's been working hard to build up his business, but no matter how much effort he puts into it, the most he'll ever be is a small-time business owner. He'll never be able to stand on the same level as you.
"At the end of the day, he's still the son of your family's housekeeper while you're the heiress of the Ziegler family. Your parents will never approve of him."
The melancholy in Sienna's eyes deepened. Her dejected appearance made Naomi's heart clench painfully. "Babe, there's no point in dragging out the inevitable and continuing to hurt yourself like this. Why don't you try looking for someone else?"
Sienna's lashes drooped. She murmured, "But I've loved him for so many years. I've already gotten used to the pain of waiting."
Naomi shook her head helplessly upon noticing the stubborn expression on Sienna's face. She sighed. "Forget it. You're not going to give up on your feelings unless you get burned. Do whatever you want."

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....
