His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 236

Meanwhile, in the Jacobson residence, Rowena sat on the couch in the living

room while flipping through a stack of photographs. She mumbled to herself, "Ms. Harrington has good qualities, while Ms. Wellerson is as pretty as a fairy. There's also Ms. Webb, who just graduated with a master's degree from Jordanville University. She seems to be the studious type, I like her a lot."

Rowena lifted her head and smiled at Stephen as she asked, "Look at these photos, Stephen. Which one do you like?"

Stephen's gaze was dark, and he wasn't paying attention to Rowena. When he locked gazes with Tessa in the garden earlier, he had seen how pale she looked. Her lips were drained of all color, making him wonder if she was sick.

"Earth to Stephen," Rowena called while raising her voice, the smile on her face dimming a little. "I'm talking to you. What are you daydreaming about?"

Stephen reined in his thoughts and directed his gaze toward her. "What is it?" Unhappily, Rowena placed down the photos. She adjusted the silk shawl around her shoulders and said in a languid tone, "Jocelyn Webb just graduated with her master's degree. I met her a few days ago. She's pretty, and she has a gentle disposition. You should visit the Webbs with your mother and get to know her better."

His gaze darkened even more as he sat on the couch. "I don't have any free time."
