His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 335

Lester smiled and said, "Sure. It's my honor."

Tessa had always been a career-oriented woman, so she could not stop once she started talking about work.

Hence, Lester had definitely picked the right topic to start with, and they chatted throughout the entire afternoon.

In the blink of an eye, the sun gradually set, giving way to dusk.

Soon, Carla had finished preparing dinner.

Samuel and Marianne were attending a banquet that night, so they would not be home for dinner. Regardless, Carla had prepared Lester's and Cassandra's portions.

Cassandra and Lester got along well, and as Seline brought Cassandra down the stairs, she said, "Cassie, why don't you have dinner at my place tonight? We can sit together."

"Seline, I need to ask my mom for permission first. She's waiting for me at home for dinner," Cassie replied sweetly.

At that moment, Lester chimed in and said, "Your mom just called. She told me that you can stay here for dinner before heading back if you want to."

"Really? Then, I want to stay here and have dinner with Seline," Cassandra replied as her eyes brightened with excitement.

Seline cheered. "Yay!"

At the dinner table, the two girls sat side by side, while Lester sat across them, right next to Tessa.

He smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, Ms. Yates. I was so caught up with our discussion on the case that I lost track of time. I'm even freeloading now, having dinner at your place."

Although he apologized and looked like he was feeling guilty, he was actually thrilled inside. That was the exact outcome he wanted.

Tessa smiled softly. "You don't have to be so polite as it's just a meal. Not to mention, I should be thanking you for today. It's been so long since I saw Seline so happy."

"Seeing the two children play together so happily makes me happy too," Lester replied.
