With that, he left.

Axell was sad that he didn't get a chance to spend more time with Albert. “He's so nice," he said to Jessie about him. "Powerful and yet so easy-going. Very uncommon!"

He really wanted Jessie to talk more about Albert with him, so he could get to know more about the man.

But instead, Jessie said in an indifferent tone, "I want to go for a walk. Will you still join me?"

Axell was surprised to hear this.

The whole thing quickly got to his head. As far as he knew, Jessie was immune to Albert's charm and was seeking to date only him, which meant that she liked him a lot.

This made him very happy. But later, when they had formed a closer bond, he would make sure to let her know the importance of connections.

As the two of them walked out of the cafe, they caught sight of Albert getting in his car as the driver respectfully held the door open for him.

They also saw Jeslyn seated in the car.

She was so beautiful. There was a cone of ice cream in her hand, but she was not eating it. Instead, she was staring at Jessie who was now walking towards her.

In her mind, the little girl felt that she had been betrayed.

She understood why Jessie was nice to Kiana. After all, Kiana's mom was friends with Jessie so Kiana practically met Jessie first. But how could she be so nice to a man she had just met?

This made Jeslyn feel angry.

But being a proud individual, she didn't complain. In fact, she pretended not to care.

"Sweetheart, why don't you greet Jessie?" Albert asked. "I thought you like her very much."

But this only annoyed Jeslyn even more.

She still hadn't forgotten when she fell asleep on the ride home and Jessie left without waking her up to say goodbye.

It had been so many days after that night, but still, Jessie hadn't come to coax her or play with her.

"I don't like her now," she said to her father in a firm tone.

“Sorry, she's just a child. Don't take her words to heart," Albert apologized to Jessie as he gave his daughter a disciplinary pat.
