His Unveiled Passion
Chapter 10
Chapter 10
Tessa called Stephen, and the phone was quickly answered. Stephen's voice was gentle as he spoke, "Tess, did you like the three gowns?"
"Yeah," Tessa replied. "Which one do you think looks the best?"
He seemed to chuckle on the other end of the line. His voice was full of affection. "Didn't I say that if you like them, just buy all of them? I've already had my assistant order all three."
"That quickly? I just posted about them a little while ago." She was surprised.
Stephen replied, "I was worried they would sell out if we waited too long. The gowns are limited editions." "Okay. I'm sorry for the trouble, Stephen," Tessa responded.
"Tess, you're now my fiancée. We're family, so there's no need to worry about whether it's troublesome or not," Stephen reminded her.
Although his words had some truth to them, Tessa still couldn't fully embody the role of his fiancée just yet. In her heart, he was still the patient, older brother figure from next door who used to tutor her.
"By the way, Tess, it's inconvenient for you to get a cab in Haverford. So, I bought you a car," he added casually. "The paperwork has just been finished. Give me your address, and I'll have someone deliver it to you."
Tessa felt embarrassed hearing this. There was no way Stephen didn't know about how she had gone as far as to run away from home to avoid the arranged marriage with him. Samuel even froze her cards. She definitely didn't have a car or a house in Haverford, and she lived like a regular working-class person. Although her two best friends had talked about being her "sugar mommies", Tessa had turned them down. She had accepted some money from her friends for the first two months as a temporary measure. When her job stabilized later on, she stopped accepting their financial assistance.
Tessa also paid back the money she borrowed from them, little by little, after she started earning a salary. Yet, Stephen didn't blame her for running to Haverford to escape from marrying him, and now he was even offering to buy her a car.
She felt a surge of guilt and gripped her phone tightly. "There's no need. I'm fine with taking a cab. It's pretty convenient."
Stephen sounded hurt. "Tess, are you being so polite because you're still not willing to marry me?"
Tessa shook her head without thinking but then realized a moment later that they were on a call. Stephen couldn't see her expression and actions through the phone.
She explained gently, "No, Stephen. I've agreed to the marriage, so I'm definitely willing. I just thought that since I'll be back in Rivertown in a few days, there's no need to buy a car now."
He replied, "It's no problem. When you are back in Rivertown, I'll have someone drive the car back for you."
"But..." Tessa still wanted to refuse.
