His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 370

Sienna thought to herself, "I knew it." Still, she nodded and said calmly, "They've ended things, yes."

Marissa clearly looked relieved to hear that.read sw

Sienna noticed the change in her expression and asked bluntly, "Do you still have feelings for Stephen?"

Marissa blinked dumbly. It seemed that she didn't expect Sienna to air it out in the open just like that.

"Yes," she admitted readily. "My feelings for him have never changed, even after all these years."

Sienna was somewhat surprised as she replied, "I didn't expect you to harbor such long-lasting love for him. It's been seven years, hasn't it?"

Marissa lowered her gaze and murmured, "Yes."

Sienna couldn't help but pity her. She couldn't imagine how hard it was to stay devoted to someone for that long. read sw

Yet, love was an odd little creature. Persistence didn't always mean that one would be given the key to the other's heart.

So, Sienna smiled and said, "However, Stephen is still very much in love with Tessa. I have a hunch they'll get back together."

The smile on Marissa's lips vanished into thin air. "And why's that?"

"There are other factors at play behind their breakup," Sienna slowly began.

Then, she let out a sigh and continued, "They didn't end things because they've stopped loving each other or because they've gotten tired of the other. It only happened because Caleb's illegitimate son, James, was aware that Tessa was Stephen's weakness.

"James abducted Tessa in the past and had nearly murdered Tessa countless times. In fact, she was shot by one of James' goons just recently. She's still recovering from the ordeal."

Marissa was shocked to hear that. "I can't believe that happened!"

Sienna sighed wearily before saying, "Fortunately, James has been arrested."

Marissa furrowed her brows. She looked solemn and somewhat dazed. Sienne couldn't tell what she was thinking.

Nevertheless, she looked at Marissa earnestly and advised, "Marissa, you can't force love."

Marissa curled her lips into a bitter smile.

"I know, but…" she trailed off for a moment. Then, she finally found the words and continued, "I can't let it go. I want to fight for a chance to win Stephen's love now that I've returned. They've already broken up, so technically I wouldn't be a homewrecker."

Sienne parted her lips upon hearing Marissa's response. Yet, she knew she wouldn't be able to convince Marissa otherwise.

Marissa also knew what Sienna wanted to say. The latter likely wanted to tell Marissa to give up.

However, what Sienna didn't know was that Marissa had tried her best to forget all about Stephen seven years ago. Alas, nothing came out of it.

She had decided against returning to the country to take over the family business after graduating from one of the world's top ten universities. Instead, she chose to start her own fashion brand.

Her brand had done exceptionally well abroad and was now a listed company.

Now, she was finally worthy. She was confident enough, accomplished, and qualified to stay by Stephen's side.

She had gone around inquiring about Tessa's career the second she returned to the country. She was relieved when she learned that Tessa was just a small-time lawyer.

Henry arched a brow. "Is that right? Stephen's never mentioned it."

"Why would he tell you about this?" Sienna pursed her lips. "She met up with me today and said that she's still interested in Stephen. She wants to pursue him."

Henry was shocked. "What? Hasn't she left the country years ago? You're telling me she hasn't moved on after all these years?"

Sienna frowned, looking distressed. "You heard that right. To make matters worse, Tessa's clearly not over Stephen either. Who do you think Stephen would choose?"

Henry chuckled. "Isn't it obvious? Stephen will always choose Tessa over any other woman."

Sienna's frown turned upside down as she replied, "That's good to hear. After all, you're his best friend. You'd know him better than anyone."

Henry remarked, "Stephen's been in love with Tessa for years. There's no way he's going to give up on her that easily."

Suddenly, he inquired, "What's that Lester guy's deal? I know that Stephen will always pick Tessa, but what about Tessa?"

"Well…" Sienna shook her head and said hesitantly, "I'm not sure. I only know that Lester went all the way to Lacroix Summit just to get a charm for Tessa when she was in the hospital. I can tell that he really loves her. If I had to choose…"

"It'll definitely be a treat. It's a sight that I've never once had the chance to see for more than 20 years."

Sienna couldn't help but grin. "Now that you mention it, I'm also looking forward to seeing such a rare sight."
