To Jeslyn, Daisy felt like a stranger. People said Daisy was her mother but Jeslyn couldn't fathom why Daisy had never lived with her and her father.

The ceremony wrapped up.

Albert scooped up Jeslyn. He gave her a kiss and nestled her head on his shoulder. No words were needed; he simply held his daughter close.

Though Jeslyn was the result of Daisy's affair with another man, Albert cherished her deeply.

He had looked into Jeslyn's birth father, a good-looking college student. Albert had even delved into the young man's family's medical history to ensure there were no inherited diseases.
