His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 367

"Stephen," she called out softly. Her voice was so soft that it was instantly drowned out by the pouring rain.

Yet, Stephen still heard her voice despite the low volume.

He turned around, locking eyes with Tessa across the curtain of rain.

She was standing by the entrance while he was out in the downpour.

The rain was so heavy that it obscured her vision.

Tessa opened her umbrella, fully intending to walk into the rain.

However, Stephen, who had been emulating a statue earlier, seemed to have had his switch finally flipped the right side up. He wasted no time striding toward her.

Since he was tall and had long legs, he crossed the distance faster than Tessa could. She had only taken two steps toward him when he arrived right in front of her.

"You haven't fully recovered just yet. You shouldn't go out in the rain," he said hoarsely.

Stephen reached for her hand that wasn't holding the umbrella and gently guided her back inside.

His hand was ice-cold. Tessa couldn't help but shiver at his touch.

Stephen noticed it and immediately let go of her. "It's cold out and raining to boot. You should go back inside."

Tessa's breath caught in her throat.

It was said that one could never fake a cold, nor could they conceal the love they felt for another.

He would instinctively place her needs first, even though he was clearly grieving. Tessa felt a mix of complex emotions well up within her.
