In the master bedroom on the second floor, Albert pushed the door open.
The room was immaculate, showing no signs of recent habitation.
Heâd heard Daisy had rarely came home in the past six months.
It was Jeslynâs first time here, and she was full of curiosity.
Albert gently placed her down and whispered, âYou can play around here for a while.
â
Jeslyn nodded obediently.
Albert cast a glance at the wedding photo above the bed.
After a brief pause, he took it down, dusting it off.
From his pocket, he retrieved a pair of wedding rings.
He had taken Daisyâs ring from her finger before bury her.
With no love remaining between them and Daisy now gone, he felt it was time to sever those ties.
He wanted no connection with her anymore.
As Albert contemplated the rings, a sudden knock interrupted.
The servant announced, âMr.
Waston, a woman claiming to be your secretary is here to see you!â
âLet her come in.
â
The door swung open, and his secretary strolled in.
Jeslyn dashed towards the woman, who gently patted her head.
âYour dad needs to talk to me.
Why donât you go play?â
Turning to Albert, she asked, âWhatâs up, Mr.
Waston?â
Albert motioned to the wedding rings and photo.
âGet rid of these.
And sell this villa at the earliest opportunity.
â
His secretary wasnât surprised, knowing their marriage was rocky.
After a pause, she inquired, âWhat about the servants? Will you take them with you?â
Albert said, âThey never looked after Jeslyn.
Sheâs not familiar with them.
Give them an extra monthâs payment and send them off!â
His secretary nodded.
âGot it, boss!â
Then Albert crouched down to Jeslyn.
âCome to Daddy!â
The little one toddled over.
Albert adjusted his leg for her to sit comfortably and asked, âWeâre heading to Duefron later.
Are you excited about that?â
Jeslynâs eyes sparkled.
