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 Albert's 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. I'll have Emma bring something over in the morning."

"It's fine. I'll wash and dry them."

Albert's gaze made her feel self-conscious. Speaking softly, she asked, "Aren't you sleeping in Jeslyn's room? Why are you still here?"

After a few more seconds of silence, he turned away, closing the dressing room door behind him.

As he turned away, Jessie's eyes welled up with tears.

In the bright light, her pale face and reddened eyes made her look vulnerable and sorrowful. He approached her and tenderly caressed the corners of her eyes.

Feeling embarrassed, she pushed his hand away.

Instead of becoming irritated, Albert smiled softly. His voice remained gentle as he said, “Jessie, I'll give you everything, and in return, you'll give yourself to me. How about it?"

He meant offering her all the shares of the Waston Group.

He had previously left her for this reason and married someone else.

Now, he was offering her everything he had, pleading for her to be with him again.

Jessie glared at him defiantly.

Her eyes brimmed with tears, yet despite the discomfort, she refused to let them fall.

Albert took out a document from the drawer and approached her side, casting a gentle gaze upon her.

He said softly, "If you don't feel secure when you're with me, I'll give you everything. You can sign this document, and then the entire Waston Group will be yours. If you still harbor resentment towards me, you can leave me and take the money with you, but I need you to help me raise Jeslyn in that case. And if you still have even a shred of love for me, then please sign it. I'll devote myself to you for the rest of my days."

Jessie couldn't bear it any longer.
