His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 12

Tessa gave a nonchalant smile, replying, "Well, that's because you don't really know me."

A mischievous glint sparkled in her eyes as she teased Wendy, "Ms. Cox, are you sure you don't want a photo? If not, I'm about to drive off."

Wendy's face flushed with anger. She desperately wanted to take a picture, but with Tessa still sitting in the car, she couldn't muster the courage to ask.

"I don't care," Wendy snapped stubbornly.

"Alright, then. Bye!" Tessa waved and stepped on the gas, speeding off.

The blue Bentley vanished from sight.

Wendy snapped angrily, "Zachary, how could you fall for someone so materialistic?"

Zachary rubbed his temples. "She wasn't like this before. I don't know what's gotten into her lately. First, she demanded marriage, and now she's renting a car."

She crossed her arms and looked at him with a knowing gaze. "She's probably feeling threatened because I've been spending time with you. Renting the car is likely her way of trying to fit into our circle." Wendy crossed her arms and sighed, her eyes brimming with pity.

"Tsk tsk, it's a shame. Rented things are still just rented. All she can do is pose for pictures with it. How pathetic."

"That's enough. It's embarrassing," Zachary muttered before turning and returning to the villa.

Tessa drove around for a while before finally pulling into a paid parking lot near the villa complex. She didn't want to park her car in Zachary's garage, and it wasn't the right time to tell him the truth. She had originally planned to tell Zachary about her family background in person, but now, she had second thoughts.

That night, as usual, the table was filled with various vegetarian dishes.

She placed the meal she had ordered from a specialty restaurant onto the table and sat down. She opened the box casually, and the rich aroma instantly filled the room.

Zachary couldn't help but glance at the food she had ordered.

The barbecue and lobster looked mouthwatering, and the spicy scent was incredibly tempting. Before long, his mouth began to water.
