His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 238

It was Wednesday morning when Tessa's relatives came to visit after hearing she was back for her break. Tessa sat in the living room to entertain the guests, engaging with her elders in conversation.

As they chatted, Mabel Yates, who was one of Tessa's aunts and had curly hair, asked Samuel, "What happened to the arranged marriage between your family and the Jacobsons? Why was it cancelled?"

Tessa cast her gaze downward, exhaling a quiet sigh. It was inevitable that she would not be able to escape from this particular topic of conversation.

Samuel kept his expression neutral when he explained, "Things didn't work out between Tessa and Stephen, so the engagement was cancelled."

Gerard Yates, one of Tessa's uncles, asked, "I heard that Stephen is dating a female celebrity now. Is it true?"

"I don't know," Samuel answered. "Since he broke off his engagement to Tessa, we haven't been paying attention to what he's been doing."

Mabel chimed in again. "Could it be that Stephen was already cheating on Tessa when they were still together? It's not unheard of amongst the young heirs born in prestigious families to get involved with different celebrities and models."
