His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

The person approaching was Zion Jenkins, one of Zachary's friends.

He was the same man who had shown sympathy toward Tessa during that evening's gathering.

Tessa had known Zion for nearly three years and had always thought highly of him.

"I'm just picking up a few things," she said.

He glanced at the bag in her hand. "Is that for Zachary?"

Tessa didn't feel like explaining, so she gave a silent nod.

"This brand of watch isn't cheap. Even the most basic models cost five figures. You really don't need to

get him something so expensive. Zachary..."

"Didn't deserve it" was what Zion wanted to say.

Zachary had openly confessed that he couldn't let go of Wendy and was only using Tessa as a

placeholder.

Last night, he even abandoned Tessa and walked out with Wendy in front of everyone.

After leaving the birthday party, Zachary and Wendy spent the night together at a hotel. Tessa had no idea

what had transpired, but Zion knew exactly what had happened.

They had a small group chat for their circle of friends, and despite being with Zachary for three years, Tessa had never been added. But as soon as Wendy came back to the country, Zachary added her without a second thought.

Earlier that afternoon, Wendy had shared a photo of herself and Zachary in bed in their group chat, casually suggesting that Zachary keep it as a memento.

However, within minutes, she retracted it, claiming it was sent by mistake.

Zion had caught the message just in time. He had thought about saying something but ultimately decided against it. It wasn't his place, and it felt smarter to stay out of it.

As Zion thought it over, he had initially planned to tell Tessa the truth and urge her to move on. But just as he was about to speak, he hesitated and stopped himself.

"Zachary doesn't need things like this. You really don't have to spend months of your salary on such an expensive gift for him."

Zachary had been his close friend for over a decade, and it was difficult to bring himself to say anything too harsh.

Still, part of him considered telling Tessa that the gift might not even mean anything to Zachary.
