His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 243

Jocelyn's expression turned awkward. She had been looking forward to this date for so long, but now it felt like it was slipping away.

As they spoke, Stephen was already coming downstairs with a folder in hand. He ignored everyone in the hall and headed straight for the door.

Rowena said sternly, "Stephen, stop right there."

Stephen turned back and held up his folder. "Grandma, you got the call too. I'm not lying, and I'm really busy."

Rowena's tone sharpened. "Don't think I don't know you arranged that call yourself. Stop playing dumb and stay for dinner!"

Stephen stood still and looked at Rowena. He said calmly, "Alright, I won't play dumb."

Then, he turned to Jocelyn. His tone was flat and cold as he said, "Hello, I'm Stephen. I'm sorry, but I have no interest in dating you. I had no clue they set this up, and I have no plans for a relationship or marriage. So please, don't waste your time on me."

Jocelyn's face went pale in an instant.

Without a care for their reactions, Stephen turned and kept heading for the door. Rowena shouted furiously. "Stop right there! Stephen!"

But Stephen didn't hesitate for a second. Before long, he disappeared through the door.
