A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Jessie rose to her feet.

Upon hearing the girls words, her fingers trembled even more.

Locking eyes with Albert, his gaze deep and unreadable, Jessie felt a surge of emotion, finding the situation painfully ironic.

Ina hushed tone, she murmured, Albert, theres no need for false affection.

But the words felt hollow.

Trying to maintain politeness, she added, Im just here for dinner.

Albert appeared calmer. He didnt offer explanations, simply focusing on his daughter Jeslyns little face showed disappointment, probably because Jessie ignored her.

Albert scooped her up, tenderly patting her head.

He assured, Give her time. Shell warm up to you.

Jeslyn nestled against her fathers chest. Used to being pampered, she rarely showed shyness.

Ignoring Jeslyn, Jessie turned away.

In her heart, she felt regretful about her reaction towards the child.

Just then, Marcus joined them, standing at the doorway with a smile.

Having a chat here? Albert, you can catch up with Jessie over dinner! Its been years since you two last met! Time flies, huh? Mr.

Wastons kid is all grown up now.

Once Marcus wrapped up his speech, the air turned somewhat tense.

Standing in the doorway, Jessie looked ghostly pale, clutching the gift bags intended for Melissas kids.

Albert simply stared at her, words eluding him.

Marcus offered a slight smile and said, Jessie, its been ages.

Theres much I want to catch up on. How about we chat over dinner Jessie, rendered speechless, was gently coaxed inside by Melissa, who patted her hand.

Just then, Kiana bounded over.

Despite their few encounters, Kiana had taken a liking to Jessie. She warmly greeted Jessie and pulled her towards the dining room.

Jeslyn watched them, a tinge of jealousy in her gaze!
