Yes, | named our child. And its just because | miss Jessie. But you? You couldnt care less about that child. Youre not interested in anything about her, are you? But lll show more mercy than you.
Before you go, Ill let you meet your child. Well, | should say Ill let her meet you.
But childrens memorys limited. Shell forget your face in time.
Shell remember her nanny, her teachers, every kind woman around her in her life; everyone but not you, Albert said gently.
He wielded Daisys greatest mistake like a dagger, plunging it into her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn my mind, Jeslyn is my child with Jessie. Shes got nothing to do with you. Truth is, | never cared much about physical stuff. If | did, wouldnt have only fallen for Jessie after all those flings, he asserted.
Daisy closed her eyes in resignation.
She surrendered.
The nanny arrived with Jeslyn, but the meeting between Jeslyn and Daisy was brief. Albert soon whisked Jeslyn away, shielding her from the distressing sight.
As expected, Jeslyn didnt recognize the woman on the bed.
Daisy breathed her last at nine in the evening.
Albert arranged an elaborate funeral for Daisy, though he opted not to bury her in the Waston family plot. Instead, he found another resting place for her. After all, they were once husband and wife.
The Fowler family had ties to the Wastons, and Melissa, Alberts former colleague, received the news. She was going to Heron.
Having coffee with Jessie, Melissa answered the call. After she hung up, she murmured softly, Alberts
wife has passed away.
Melissa fixed her gaze on Jessie.
Jessie stayed quiet for a moment before gracing her lips with a smile. What a shame. Ive heard they were deeply in love. Its surprising they didnt make it through to the end.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelissa sensed the indifference in Jessies words.
She believed that the relationship was long gone in Jessies heart.
Melissa remained silent, and they sat across from each other, sipping coffee quietly. But Jessie appeared less relaxed than before, hinting that her earlier indifference might not have been genuine.
After that, they bid each other goodbye.
As usual, Marcus arrived to personally fetch Melissa. Though he offered to drive Jessie home, she declined with a slight shake of her head, expressing her desire to wander alone.
Melissa felt compelled to speak but hesitated.
Marcus closed the door of the sleek black Rolls-Royce Phantom, fixing his gaze on Jessie for a moment before smiling. Its good for You to have some time to yourself.
