His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 229

"I wonder what the two men are talking about. They look like they're having a great time," Xavier wondered aloud.

The adoring look on Stephen's face melted away after hearing Xavier's words. He handed his golf club to the caddy and started walking toward Tessa, Hayden, and Barry.

"Hmm? Why are you going over there?" Xavier asked as he followed along.

Stephen's expression was cool, matching the tone of his voice as he replied, "I'm going to talk business."

"Talk business?" Xavier asked, bewildered. "With whom?"

He immediately understood what was going on after his eyes strayed toward the group of three who were talking amongst themselves happily. Stephen undoubtedly had grown jealous. He disliked how the two men were orbiting around Tessa, so he decided to take matters into his own hands and give the two men something else to do.

Xavier laughed quietly. There was no way that Stephen would just let them be. He had held himself back for so long, but even he had his limits.

Stephen planted himself in front of Tessa. Under the bright rays of sunlight, his tall figure cast a long shadow on her. Tessa looked up at Stephen. He was wearing a dark grey set of athletic wear, suiting his preference for simple styles.

"Why is he here again?" Tessa wondered in her heart.

Hayden thought it was peculiar as well. Stephen was notoriously difficult to meet normally, and even if Hayden managed to bump into him, he wasn't very receptive to engaging in conversation. For him to approach them not once, but twice in a single day, Hayden wondered if there was something wrong with Stephen.
