His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 83

The next day, Tessa went to the Jacobson residence to attend a gathering.

Their residence and the Yates residence were located in the same residential neighborhood.

Before going to the Jacobsons', Tessa decided to make a stop at the Yates'.

Samuel and Marianne were both home. Seeing her at home, Samuel asked, "You haven't been coming home recently. Where have you been staying?"

Tessa, who was now aware of the truth behind Samuel's second marriage, no longer treated him with the same cold indifference as before. She knew now that his second marriage was one of her mother's dying wishes.

She replied calmly, "I've been staying at the apartment my cousin gave me. It's near the law firm, so it's more convenient for me to go to work every day."

Samuel nodded. "I'll take you to meet a few of my old colleagues when you're free. They might help you get some new cases."

She knew he was trying to broaden her network and did not refuse his offer. "Alright. How about next weekend?"

At that moment, Seline Yates came running down the stairs, hugging Tessa's leg tightly. "Tessa, you're back!"

Tessa patted her head. "That's right."

Marianne stood nearby, smiling as she asked how Tessa had been doing as of late and if she was adjusting to living on her own.

Instead of arguing with her as Tessa used to do, she nodded lightly and said, "I'll just head upstairs to grab a few things."

Then, she went upstairs to her room.
