His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 252

Rivertown was truly a small place. No matter how much Tessa tried to avoid him, she never expected to run into Stephen here.

She was momentarily stunned before Lester suddenly spoke from behind her. "Mr. Jacobson, what a coincidence. Are you dining here as well?"

Stephen's voice was indifferent, his expression calm on the surface. "Yes."

Tessa did not know what to say, so she simply remained silent. Instead, she walked past Stephen and headed straight into the restaurant.

A server came over to greet them. "Good afternoon. How many guests? Do you have a reservation?"

Tessa responded with composure. "Two. The reservation is under the name, Tessa."

"Please follow me."

Seeing that Tessa had already walked in with the server, Lester smiled and glanced at Stephen. "Mr. Jacobson, I will take my leave."

Stephen stood still, his eyes lowering slightly.

Today was Valentine's Day. On such a special day, why was Tess having dinner alone with Lester? Could this be... a date?

A tightness formed in Stephen's throat. He remained rooted in place, his body stiff as if turned to stone. Even his legs felt numb.

When Stephen didn't respond, Lester's gaze drifted over him briefly.
