His Unveiled Passion

The housekeeper saw Tessa's red, swollen eyes, and her expression changed. "Ms. Yates, what happened?"

Tessa gently shook her head and said with a choked voice, "I'm fine."

It was an unintentional slip, but it still stung.

Tessa forced a weak smile-one that looked even worse than crying. She tried to sound composed. "I'm really fine. I guess I just haven't adjusted to this place yet. And I've been worried about my father's condition. I couldn't hold back my emotions. You don't need to worry about me."

The housekeeper hesitated. "Mr. Jacobson gave strict instructions to take good care of you. I'm staying in
