His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 363

At that moment, Marianne entered the ward, carrying a thermos with her.

Marianne froze when she saw the charm in Lester's palm.

She recognized that charm. She also knew how much it took for someone to succeed in obtaining that charm from Lacroix Summit.

When Tessa's mother, Tyla, had been gravely ill, Samuel had gone to Lacroix Summit just to obtain a charm like that one.

Unfortunately, Tyla still died in the end.

Marianne's lashes fluttered when she thought of that, her heart twisting in pain.

She looked somewhat astonished when she called out to Lester, asking, "Lester, did you get this charm yourself?"

Her eyes remained fixated on the charm. It was as if her mind was a thousand miles away as she reminisced about the past.

Lester continued to gaze at Tessa before responding quietly, "Yes."

Marianne was shocked. Still, she quickly snapped out of it and began to scrutinize Lester closely.

Lester had visited the Yates residence with Cassandra quite often. Hence, Marianne naturally knew who he was.

She had suspected that he might have feelings for Tessa at the time. There was just something about the way he looked at her.

Yet, Tessa insisted they were friends and nothing more. So, Marianne didn't say her suspicions aloud.

However, there was no use pretending that Lester's feelings for Tessa were platonic now. Not after he had gone all the way to Lacroix Summit for a charm.

Lester's feelings for Tessa went far beyond just mere friendship. He was clearly deeply in love with her.

Tessa couldn't find it in herself to reject his gift, especially since it was a sincere gesture.

Regardless, she instinctively avoided Lester's gaze when she accepted the charm. She lowered her eyes and murmured, "Thank you."

Sienna and Naomi exchanged a glance.
