His Unveiled Passion

Tessa woke up from her nap feeling hungry. At this moment, the doorbell rang.

She ran a brush through her hair a few times, casually put on an off-white fur coat, and slipped into her plush slippers to answer the door.

"Ms. Yates, hello. Mr. Jacobson hired me to cook for you."

Standing outside was a middle-aged woman, around 50, dressed in a black cotton jacket and looking kind.

Tessa paused. "Please wait a moment, let me check."

Since she was a stranger, Tessa couldn't let her in casually.

"Sure thing, go ahead and ask Mr. Jacobson. I'll just wait out here," the woman said with a cheerful smile.

Tessa called Stephen.

"Did you hire someone to cook for me?"

"Yes, this is Mrs. Wilson's daughter-in-law. Mrs. Wilson is getting older, and it's inconvenient for her to come over, but her daughter-in-law has learned her cooking skills. I specifically invited her to cook for you. You should find the food to your liking."

Tessa was stunned. She remembered Helen, who used to be the Somerton family's housekeeper.

Her mother, Tyla, had learned to cook from Helen. Stephen had even taken Tessa to visit Helen's house before. At the time, she had only met Helen and her son since the daughter-in-law was not at home.
