His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 299

Tessa stood still as she watched that familiar figure approach step by step. The sharp, chiseled features of his handsome face became clearer through the rain.

The short distance between them seemed to soften Stephen's usually stern brows as if the damp air had melted away some of his edge.

He stopped in front of her and gazed at her with eyes filled with warmth and joy. His voice was slightly hoarse as he spoke. "Tess..."

Her eyes remained cool as she tilted her face slightly to look at him. "Is something wrong?"

His Adam's apple bobbed. "Seline has been rescued."

Her eyes widened instantly, and her voice rose with excitement as she stepped forward. "Really? Where is she? Has she returned to the country? Take me to see her!"

He replied gently, "Yeah. She just arrived in Rivertown. I sought you out for this." "I'll go with you." Her eyes started to glisten, and she whispered, "Thank you..." Stephen's throat tightened. His voice was rough as he said, "You don't have to thank me."

She followed him to the car. As he opened the door for her, he instinctively placed his hand above the frame to prevent her from hitting her head.

She noticed this. Her eyelashes quivered as she lowered her gaze, saying nothing.

After closing her door, he walked to the driver's side, got in, and started the car.

"Do you want to grab breakfast first?" he asked, glancing at her as they waited at a red light.

She shook her head. "No, I just want to see Seline as soon as possible."
