His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 159

The skincare products and cosmetics on the table were all from brands Tessa liked to use.

Yet, Stephen said that these were hastily bought, so she would have to make do with them for now.

Although he had made it sound like those things would be replaced with better ones, she had also found a wardrobe filled with branded goods. They were from this season and were worth at least several hundred thousand dollars.

Hell, even the silk nightgown she was wearing right now was worth at least 500 thousand dollars.

Tessa took a sip of her warm milk and asked out of nowhere, "I've never been here before, so why do your subordinates recognize me?"

She was referring to the startling moment when the men training outside had all greeted her in complete unison. They'd chorused, "Good day, Mrs. Jacobson!"

Stephen curled his lips into a smile. It seemed that he was in a good mood as he drawled, "Guess."

"Leaving me in suspense, are you?" Tessa took a couple of sips from her milk, inadvertently staining her lips white. It made her look utterly irresistible. "Well, I'm not guessing."

Suddenly, Stephen lowered his head and kissed her, licking the milk off her lips.

It was just a fleeting peck.

However, he still smiled like the cat that ate the canary. "You taste sweet."

Tessa felt her face flush as she retorted, "There's no way milk would taste sweet."

There was an undeniable trace of mirth in his tone, which made his voice all the more alluring. "You know I wasn't talking about the milk."

The atmosphere turned ambiguous once those words were dropped.

The heated air in the room brushed against her skin, making Tessa feel as though her body was burning up.

She had just finished her glass of milk when Stephen abruptly picked her up in his arms.

Tessa was so caught off guard that she instinctively exclaimed, "Hey! What are you doing?" Her voice was one of playful reproach.

Stephen smiled. "Join me for a bath,"

"I've already taken one. You should take one alone," Tessa protested softly.
