His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 97

Sophia froze for a moment before noticing the thermal container in Tessa's hand. "Tessa, you brought food for Stephen?"

"Yes."

Sophia looked at Stephen. "Are you full? Do you want to eat more? I brought all your favorites."

Stephen replied, "There's no need. Tessa's homemade food suits my taste perfectly. I finished it all."

Hearing this, Sophia flashed a smile. "Alright. It's fine as long as you've eaten."

Quentin gave the couple a mischievous look. "Oh? Tessa made it herself?"

He set down the fruit basket and supplements he was carrying, looking at Stephen with a teasing grin. "Lucky bastard."

Stephen replied, "Yeah, it's a joy that you single folk wouldn't understand."

Quentin's smile froze. "Alright, fine. One of these days, I will find myself a girlfriend too, just so I can flaunt our love in front of you every day and drive you crazy."

Naomi widened her eyes in surprise. "Tessa, you know how to cook?"

Tessa smiled. "I just learned it."

"Love is truly magical," Naomi exclaimed in disbelief as she circled Tessa teasingly.

"I still recall that time back in college when you fried an egg for me. When I took a bite, it was crunchy. You said that eggshells were a good source of calcium. And now you've learned to cook? Incredible."

Tessa awkwardly touched her nose. "Eggshells do have calcium in them, though."

Naomi laughed in exasperation. "Fine, fine. You serve eggs with shells to your best friend but whip up fancy meals for your fiancé?"

Tessa's eyes crinkled with a smile. "I will make you a fancy meal next time."

Naomi grinned. "I will hold you to that."

Quentin gave her a sideways glance. "Tessa is cooking for her romantic fantasies. What are you butting in for?"

Naomi lifted her chin haughtily. "Mind your own business."

Tessa looked at him warily. "What are you doing here?"

Excitement gleamed in Zachary's eyes as he stared at her. "I heard that your engagement ceremony was canceled?"

Tessa responded coldly, "What does that have to do with you? Move."

Zachary blocked her path. "Tessa, do you believe in fate? The engagement ceremony being disrupted shows that God forbids this engagement."

Tessa sneered. "It's the 21st century. How have superstitions like yours not been eradicated?"

Zachary didn't feel offended. No one was happier than him to see the engagement ceremony get disrupted.

And to top it off, Stephen had been stabbed and nearly died. Even fate seemed to be on his side!

A smile surfaced in his eyes. "Tessa, you know who the attacker was? She's a crazed admirer of Stephen's, and she has been pursuing him for ten years. Many people saw her at the engagement banquet that day. The news is spreading across Rivertown as we speak."

He leaned closer. "Tell me, how could any man remain indifferent to a woman chasing him so passionately for a decade?"
