His Unveiled Passion

Stephen sat down and picked up a set of cutlery. However, he handed them over to Tessa, saying, "Tess, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You should eat."

Melody stood to the side with an indulgent smile on her face.

Tessa shook her head. "I'm not hungry. You should eat without me. I'll eat something later."

Meanwhile, Samson was sitting across the table and eating with gusto. He was practically inhaling his food as he sighed with satisfaction. "That really hits the spot."

Stephen turned to look at Tessa once more.

Tessa could only smile helplessly before saying, "I just woke up, and I don't have much of an appetite. You should go ahead and eat."

Only then did Stephen begin to dig in.

It had been a while since he had the chance to eat Tessa's home-cooked meals.

It still tasted the same. He missed it greatly.

When Stephen and Samson rushed over, they only brought a suitcase and a backpack along with them.

They would have driven all the way here, but had no choice but to make the rest of the journey on foot upon reaching the muddy road near the town. So, Samson only packed a few changes of clothes in his backpack and carried them the rest of the way here.

After their meal, they promptly excused themselves to take a shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and retired for the day.

The rescue team had arrived and began to distribute relief supplies to the

villagers caught in the heart of the disaster. Naturally, they also cleared the roads that had been blocked by mud, debris, and all sorts of garbage.
