Albert shifted his hands to the front, tying the towel around her.

He leaned in slightly, his tone gentle as he inquired, “Are you alright?"

Jessie nodded her head in response.

Albert was in high spirits, typically so after being satisfied, particularly when Jessie showed no signs of regret or voiced any displeasure. His voice carried a slight hoarseness as he suggested, “Shall we head downstairs for a meal?"

After considering it for a moment, Jessie agreed.

Although there were no servants present in the villa, someone had evidently delivered food supplies recently.

Albert prepared the meal to Jessie's liking. She surveyed the table, adorned with her favorite dishes, and her emotions stirred.

She sensed that Albert had likely prepared everything with certain expectations in mind.

She didn't disappoint him. After all, she had also enjoyed their intimacy earlier, and he hadn't coerced her into anything. She ate leisurely and elegantly, while Albert occasionally offered her more food. "Give this a try. Isn't this your favorite?"

Jessie averted her gaze.

After a moment, she lifted her head and murmured softly, "What occurred today was merely an accident."

Albert regarded her intently for a moment before inquiring, "What do you mean by that?"

Jessie bit her lip and replied, "You know exactly what I mean."

She anticipated his anger, but Albert simply offered a gentle smile and queried, "So, you're suggesting I can act without accountability, is that it?"

Jessie remained silent.

Albert helped himself to a bowl of soup, savoring it leisurely before regarding her with a playful expression. "It seems Like you've become more open-minded. I must say, I performed quite admirably just now.

In that case, and given our single status, we can fulfill each other's needs when necessary."

Jessie uttered a curse in frustration.

Albert chuckled. "Isn't that what you said? It was just an accident, and you don't expect me to take responsibility. The requests I'm making now are all in line with your wishes."

Jessie found herself unable to argue.
