His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 6

Tessa looked up at Zachary with confusion in her eyes, asking, "What?"

Zachary figured she was probably still upset and didn't want to give him the gift just yet. That was fine; he could offer her a way out first. Gently, he said, "I'm sorry about my tone earlier at the shop. Don't be mad, okay?"

That should be enough, right?

She sighed and looked up at him. With a serious expression, she replied, "I'm not mad."

He dismissed her words. "You don't mean it."

"Think whatever you want," Tessa replied.

Zachary instantly grew impatient at her response. "Tessa, I've already apologized. What more do you want from me?"

Tessa continued with her packing. Then, she said flatly, "I don't need your apology."

Zachary stared unblinkingly at her for a while. A moment later, he asked uneasily, "What about the gift?" Tessa turned to look at him. "What gift?"

"Zion said he saw you buying a watch for me," Zachary elaborated. "Didn't you get it to say sorry? I'm back now, so why aren't you ready to bring it out?"

Tessa was about to say it wasn't for him, but he continued speaking, ignoring her, "That's enough. It won't be fun if you keep making a fuss."

She suddenly laughed after hearing that.

Frowning, he asked, "What are you laughing about?"

"Whatever you just said is hilarious," Tessa replied, meeting his gaze. Then, she added, "I did buy a

watch, but it isn't for you. I don't think I did anything wrong, so why should I apologize to you?"

"It wasn't for me? Then, who did you get it for?" Zachary's eyes flared with anger, and he clenched his fist subconsciously.

"It's none of your business," she responded nonchalantly.

"None of my business?" Zachary was furious. "I'm your boyfriend! How is it not my business when you are buying gifts for another man?"
