His Unveiled Passion novel Chapter 458

A crew member followed right after, hauling the luggage.

Marissa held Tessa's arm and led her all the way to the room where she would be staying for the next two days.

"Tessa, this is your room," Marissa murmured, sounding somewhat guilty.

Tessa nodded. "Thank you."

Then, Marissa turned to Stephen, pointed at the door diagonally across from Tessa's, and said, "Stevie, your room is over there."

Tessa froze slightly when she heard that. Marissa had arranged for them to stay separately.

Tessa lowered her gaze but said nothing.

Stephen's eyes were cold as he shot a look at Marissa before saying, "Don't bother. I'll be staying with Tess."

Marissa's lashes fluttered slightly before hastily adding, "Tessa's room is single. It'll be too cramped if you stay with her."

The cruise ship had over a hundred guest rooms available, all fully equipped and luxuriously decorated. There was even a helipad on the deck.

They had passed by several entertainment facilities earlier. The ship had a movie theater, a bar, a ballroom, a game room, a billiard room, and so forth. There was even a massive swimming pool at the stern.

This was a large cruise ship, so there was no way Marissa was facing a room shortage. Thus, Marissa's true intentions were as clear as day.

Tessa didn't see the need to say anything about it, but Stephen wasn't about to play along.

As such, he immediately told Marissa he was going to stay with Tessa.

When he heard Marissa's concern about Tessa's assigned room being cramped, he walked in and swept his gaze across the room before commenting, "It's not cramped at all. Besides, a smaller space only makes the room seem cozier. What do you think, Tessa?"

Before she could say anything in response, Stephen instructed the crew member, saying, "You can leave the bags there."

He wasn't just referring to Tessa's luggage, as even his luggage had been placed inside the room.

It was more than obvious he was determined to stay in this room tonight.

Truthfully, the room was far from small. It was actually a luxurious king-sized room and was perfectly suitable for two. It wasn't at all cramped. However, Stephen had deliberately called it "cozy", implying that he had no desire to be apart from Tessa.

Tessa looked up at him and smiled. This time, she didn't play along with Marissa's plan as she said, "Marissa, he'll be staying with me."
