His Unveiled Passion

Tessa was already drunk beyond comprehension, yet she was still able to nuzzle into Stephen's embrace out of pure instinct. She sighed and murmured softly, "It's so comfy..."

Stephen lifted Tessa into his arms, and she rested her head against his firm chest. She stopped crying and mumbling almost instantly.

The adoration in Stephen's gaze was apparent as he said, "She's so docile."

He carried her with one arm, as if carrying a child, and left the bar soon after. The bodyguards behind him also followed silently.

Samson walked toward Wynn and asked, "Do you know where Ms. Yates' friends live?"

Wynn shook her head.

"Although we don't know where they live, we still need to ensure their safety. We'll just take them to a hotel under Jacobson Corporation and let them stay there for the night.

"Ms. Barrett, I'll need your help with that," Samson said. He was a guy, after all, and it would be inappropriate for him to bring the two women to a hotel room.

Wynn looked in the direction Tessa and Stephen had gone in and frowned.

"Ms. Barrett, don't worry. With Mr. Jacobson by Ms. Yates' side, nothing will happen to her. Not to mention, Mr. Jacobson also has an entourage of bodyguards with him.

Wynn wanted to follow Tessa and protect her. However, she refrained after looking at the drunk Jasmine and Molly.

Wynn had been working at Everbright as Tessa's assistant to protect her, so naturally, she got close to Molly and Jasmine over time. By now, she could even consider them her friends.

Ultimately, Wynn decided to help Samson, bringing the two women to a nearby hotel under Jacobson Corporation.

The intoxicated Tessa's body was soft as she nestled against Stephen's arms.

The hot air outside immediately hit them once they left the bar and its air- conditioned atmosphere. Tessa quickly nuzzled her head into the crook of Stephen's neck and whimpered softly.

Her drunk and warm breaths gently brushed against the skin of his neck.

Stephen's chauffeur got out and

opened the car door for them. Stephen then got in the backseat

with Tessa still in his arms. Once he was seated, he placed her on his lap.

The black Cullinan drove steadily under Rivertown's dark summer sky. Streetlights flashed through the window, and the light shone on Tessa's face every now and then.

It was silent inside the car.

Tessa eventually opened her eyes, but did not say a word. Instead, she looked off into the distance, eyes unfocused, seemingly in a trance. At the same time, she looked as if her head was full of thoughts.

Stephen reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. His thumb brushed across her cheeks softly.

Tessa's cheeks were flushed, and drunk as she was, she looked absolutely adorable. She didn't even have to do a thing to make Stephen's heart skip a beat.

"Stephen," Tessa suddenly called out.

His voice was low and soft as he replied, "I'm here."

"Stephen, let's not break up, alright?" Tessa's voice quivered with sadness. Frowning, she nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck.

Her soft lips brushed against his skin, and her slightly whiny tone pulled at his heartstrings, making his heart race.

Emotions exploded in his heart as he gently lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "We won't break up. Never again."

Tessa let out a soft hum from her throat.noveldrama

Eyes darkening, Stephen called out, "Tess."

"Yes? What's wrong?" Tessa opened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Tears gathered in the corners of her eyes, making her eyes look incredibly stunning. The light blush across her face had only added to her charm, and Stephen could not help but want to kiss her.

He lowered his gaze and asked her softly, "Do you want some kisses?"

Tessa glanced at the driver and pursed her lips. "I don't."

Stephen tapped her nose lightly and continued to coax her. "Be a good girl for me

and say that you do."
