His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 194

On New Year the next day, Tessa went back to the Yates residence.

Marianne and Samuel were both at home.

As soon as Tessa stepped through the door, Marianne greeted her with a smile. "Tess, you're back! Lunch is almost ready. Go wash your hands first."

Tessa had woken up with a hangover at 11 that morning. After taking a quick shower and changing into fresh clothes, she drove home just in time for lunch. Seline ran over in her little leather shoes, hugging Tessa's leg. "Tessa!"

Smiling, Tessa reached into her bag, pulled out a thick envelope containing a generous allowance, and handed it to Seline. "Seline, Happy New Year!"

Seline's face lit up with a sweet smile as she took the envelope and planted a kiss on Tessa's cheek.

Samuel approached and handed her a gift bag. "Here's your New Year's present. Take a look."

Tessa opened the bag curiously and saw a set of keys and a property deed.

"This apartment's close to your law firm. It'll be more convenient for work," Samuel said calmly. "Young people like celebrating New Year's Eve out and about, so this is my New Year's gift to you. Marianne picked out the car-it's in the garage. You can check it out after lunch."
