Albert eventually came downstairs, the sound of his footsteps sounding lightly on the steps. He had not treated his little daughter carelessly at all. Instead, he had spent almost two hours with her until she fell asleep before he returned to the master bedroom.

At this point, Jessie was on the phone with her mother.

“Well, I won't come back tonight," she was saying to her.

But all of a sudden, Albert held her from behind and rested his chin on her thin shoulder. He could even overhear Lettie's voice on the phone.

Jessie was startled by the sudden hug and she quickly hung up the phone after saying goodbye.
