His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 87

Tessa smiled and pressed her lips together. "I will be yours sooner or later, so why are you in such a hurry?"

Stephen held her hand, his fingers gently stroking her palm in gentle motions. "I can't wait even a single day longer. No, not even a single second."

He smiled as he continued, "Before, I was afraid you would think getting married right away was too sudden, so I suggested to your father that we could get engaged first and then wait until our feelings matured before getting married. But looking back now, I was just digging my own grave."

Tessa smiled and replied, "So, have those feelings matured now?"

Stephen pinched her cheek lightly. "That's for you to answer. My feelings matured a long time ago."

Lowering her gaze with a faint smile. Tessa had the urge to tease him. "Then wait a little longer."

Stephen laughed indulgently and played along. "So, may I ask when Ms. Yates wants to become Mrs. Jacobson?"

"We'll see," Tessa said with a playful tilt of her head, making a funny face at him. "It depends on my mood."

As they chatted along the way, the atmosphere between them was lively.
