All Novel Sweet
Chapter 3475
Despite the phone connecting, her voice sounded muffled due to the stormy weather.
Mom, Umm The rain is heavy. I cant come back now. Yes, Im at Mr.
Wastons house.
After a moment of silence, Lettie spoke slowly. Jessie, think it through. If you truly dont mind his previous marriage and that child, ll respect your decision. But if you have any doubts, its better to end it now. Even though our family isnt as affluent as before, we dont need to chase social status. The important thing is, do you still love him? As Lettie finished speaking, a long silence followed on both ends of the call. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Jessie could have come up with tons of excuses. She could blame the heavy rain or the clingy child. But she couldnt bring herself to do it now because her mother knew her too well.
Jessie felt troubled.
After a moment of silence, she whispered softly, Mom, I understand.
Upon ending the call, Lettie felt a pang of sadness. Despite accepting reality long ago, seeing her daughter with Albert still weighed heavily on her. Lettie couldnt shake off the feeling of imperfection.
If Jessie had married at the right time, her own child would have grown up by now.
Meanwhile, Jessie put her phone down.
When Jessie looked up, she noticed that Jeslyn, who had been rolling around on the bed, had fallen asleep while hugging a pillow. Her peaceful expression seemed like she was nuzzling her father.
Jeslyn appeared as innocent as a baby cub.
Jessie rose from her seat and approached the bed, gazing at the peacefully sleeping face. It was truly beautiful. Jeslyns features bore a resemblance to those of the late Daisy, but overall, Jeslyn exuded a liveliness that Daisy lacked.
After a moment, Jessie couldnt resist gently touching her.
However, she quickly pulled her hand back.
Jessie removed Jeslyns socks and tucked her in to ensure her comfort.
Jessie felt the need to take a shower.
In the midst of the July thunderstorm, the air was oppressively hot and humid. However, as Jessie entered the dressing room, she recognized that she was in Alberts villa and his bedroom. Unlike elsewhere, her clothes were not laid out here.
She retracted her hand and shut the wardrobe door.
Standing by the door, Albert spoke in a hoarse voice, Wear my clothes.
He approached her and retrieved a black shirt from the wardrobe. His deep gaze met hers. You can make do with this for now. lll have Emma bring something over in the morning.
Its fine. lll wash and dry them.
Alberts gaze made her feel self-conscious. Speaking softly, she asked, Arent you sleeping in Jeslyns room? Why are you still here? After a few more seconds of silence, he turned away, closing the dressing room door behind him.
