His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 227

Stephen convinced himself that the situation was only temporary. Once he was done dealing with James, he would get Tessa back.

Meanwhile, Hayden stuck close to Tessa's side. "Ms. Yates, do you usually like to golf?"

Tessa moved away to create some distance between them. "I just play it casually, but I don't do it very often," she answered politely.

Hayden wasn't aware of Tessa's background, assuming that she was just a regular lawyer who only earned a few thousand dollars per month. A few thousand dollars was a laughably small amount in Hayden's eyes as it could only cover the cost of a single meal.

He wore his most charming smile. "I should have guessed as much. Just purchasing the most basic gear would probably cost you a month's worth of your salary, not to mention there are also the fees for the golf course and instructor that need to be paid for.

"An annual pass for a club like this one costs about 300,000 dollars. There's really no reason for a lawyer such as yourself to waste all your hard-earned money on a place like this."

Tessa ignored the veiled slights laced within Hayden's words. She just smiled, agreeing, "You're right."

Her smile sent a swarm of butterflies aflutter in Hayden's gut, making it arduous for him to control himself. He was used to enjoying a luxurious lifestyle, and there was never a lack of women around him. Although he had a wife at home, she wasn't the only woman in Hayden's life. He had propositioned many other women over the years.
