Jessie, despite her beauty, was no spring chicken, making Lettie more pragmatic than ever.

In her eyes, Axell was the best match for Jessie.

Jessie herself found Axell appealing. He was cultured and showed women respect. Over coffee, when Axell suggested a stroll, Jessie nodded but mentioned, "I need to sort something out in an hour."

A sheepish smile crossed her lips.

Her smile brought out a youthful charm that Axell found irresistible, making him steal a few more glances at her.
