NovelEnglishSlowly, Jeslyn ascended the stairs, remarking, | dont want to eat if theres no class.
Albert remained silent.
Jessie was once again taken aback.
Elsie hurried downstairs and pleaded, Miss Green, please stay and continue teaching Miss Jeslyn. Shes been preparing for this all afternoon and waiting eagerly for your arrival. Shell be so disappointed if you dont teach her.
Jessie responded stiffly, Thats not my concern.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlbert remarked casually, Youre correct. My daughters well-being has no bearing on you. You dont need to worry about her. Your career success is inconsequential as well. After all, youre destined to be a doctors wife.
Jessie bit her lip and retorted, Dont provoke me.
Recognizing it as a trap, she refused to be manipulated and departed without glancing back.
Exiting the hall and the villa, she vowed never to contact Albert again, completely disregarding the past.
She believed that she might need to adopt the same level of detachment that Albert seemed to
possess.
In the living room, Elsie anxiously turned to Albert as she observed Jessies departure. Mr. Waston, what should we do? Albert casually picked up the newspaper and resumed reading.
Suddenly, Jeslyn rushed downstairs like a whirlwind.
Albert smiled.
In the parking lot, as Jessie prepared to enter her car, she was stopped by a pair of slender arms wrapping around her thighs from behind. A fragile voice behind her pleaded, Please dont leave. You cant leave.
The tone was both commanding and sorrowful.
Jessie froze in place. Despite whatever Jeslyn had experienced, Jessie considered her the one she should despise the most. Even after all these years, Jessie vividly remembered the moment Daisy, heavily pregnant, had slapped her across the face.

With that, Jessie freed herself from Jeslyns grasp, hurried into the car, and swiftly started the engine.
After driving for a distance, Jessie glimpsed in the rearview mirror to see the slender figure of the small child standing in the twilight, clad in a stunning dress, yet her face betrayed deep sadness.
Jeslyn remained stationary, observing the car as it drove off, showing no intention of returning home.
Miss Jeslyn is simply adorable. Shes so well-behaved and charming.
Knowing youd be here, she insisted | give her a bath and carefully style her hair. | believe shes quite fond of you.
Elsies words replayed in Jessies mind.
