Jeslyn glued her eyes on Jessie, awaiting her response.
After a prolonged silence from Jessie, the little girl grew impatient and declared arrogantly, Well, there are plenty of kids who would love to have dinner with me! Albert shook his head helplessly, unsure of where Jeslyn inherited her temper from.
Ican give you a ride, Mr. Waston, Melissa offered politely.

Butisnt she a bit too young for that? Jessie smoothed her hair casually and replied, If it proves too challenging for her, shell likely give it up eventually.

Axell sensed Jessies mood wasnt great.
As they sat in the car, he asked curiously, You seemed rather indifferent towards Mr. Waston back there. Is it because you dislike him or because of his reputation? Jessie didnt want to talk about the past.

Jessie turned to him and said firmly, You must promise not to pressure me into anything in the future like you just did earlier.
Axel leaned over, intending to kis her cheek, but then opted to kis her forehead instead. After dismissing the driver, Albert planned to drive himself.
lust as he was about to start the car, he caught sight of the scene.
Seeing Axell gently kis Jessies forehead, Albert gripped the steering wheel tightly. When Axell settled back into his seat, he noticed the prominent figure staring at them. Flustered, Axell nodded awkwardly at Albert.
