His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

"Tess, the custom engagement ring I ordered for you from Chaumet has arrived at the Haverford store. Feel free to stop by and have a look whenever you have the chance."

Chaumet was a prestigious, internationally renowned diamond ring brand.

Tessa had only agreed to the arranged marriage just days ago, yet the custom ring had already arrived. Had it been ordered ahead of time?

Tessa didn't press for more information. "Okay," she replied.

...

When she arrived at the Chaumet store, the staff eagerly presented the ring. "Ms. Yates, this is the engagement ring Mr. Jacobson had custom-made for you."

Tessa picked up the ring and studied it closely.

The centerpiece was a striking five-carat blue diamond, set in a band decorated with tiny pink and colorless diamonds. Its brilliance shimmered under the light, enchanting everyone who looked at it. "This ring also has the initials of you and Mr. Jacobson engraved inside."

Tessa took a closer look at the engraving, which unmistakably read "SJ TY."

It was evident that a lot of thought had gone into the design.

She slid the ring onto her finger, and it fit perfectly.

"It's stunning," the staff member complimented, clearly impressed.

Just as she admired the ring, Zachary's voice suddenly came from behind her. "Tessa, what are you doing here?"

She frowned and turned around.

As soon as she did, Zachary released Wendy's hand.

A cold glimmer flashed in Wendy's eyes, but it disappeared just as quickly, and her expression settled back into its usual calm demeanor.

Tessa wasn't surprised to find Zachary with Wendy.

She gave him a sweet smile and replied, "I came to try on this ring."

At the sound of her words, Zachary moved closer. The moment his eyes landed on the ring on Tessa's finger, his expression darkened instantly.

With a bright smile, Tessa twirled her hand, letting the dazzling diamond sparkle in the light. "So, what do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"

A flash of anger flickered in Zachary's eyes. "It's not."

Both of them knew exactly what the ring signified.

Zachary had always viewed Tessa as obedient and understanding, never once considering that she might desire something that wasn't hers to claim.
