His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 186

The sky began to pale with the first light of dawn, and the faint morning glow filtered through the glass window, casting a soft light on Tessa's pale, haggard face.

She had sat by the window all night, only dozing off when morning came as she leaned against the glass.

It wasn't a good sleep. She had dreamt of Stephen several times, waking up startled each time.

In the last dream, she saw Stephen standing in front of her, holding hands with Nancy. His eyes were filled with happiness as he smiled and told Tessa he was getting married, asking her to attend the wedding.

Of course, Tessa cried in the dream. When she woke up, there were tear stains on her cheeks.

Outside the door, the housekeeper knocked softly. "Ms. Yates, are you awake? Lunch is ready."

Tessa wiped her tears, walked to the door, and pulled it open. "You go ahead and eat first. I need to take a shower and change before coming down."

The housekeeper noticed Tessa's pale face and the dark circles under her eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Ms. Yates, did you not sleep well last night?"

The housekeeper didn't use social media and wasn't aware of Stephen's scandal. She also didn't know that the engagement between the Jacobson and Yates families had been called off.

Stephen and Tessa were in a relationship and that Stephen cared deeply for her, having specifically instructed her to take good care of Tessa.
