Jeslyn glued her eyes on Jessie, awaiting her response.
After a prolonged silence from Jessie, the little girl grew impatient and declared arrogantly, âWell, there are plenty of kids who would love to have dinner with me!â
Albert shook his head helplessly, unsure of where Jeslyn inherited her temper from.
âI can give you a ride, Mr.
Waston,â Melissa offered politely.
But Albert waved it off, saying, âThat wonât be necessary.
My driver is with us.
By the way, arenât you hanging out with them? Enjoy yourselves!â
Melissa frowned slightly at his comment.
With that, Albert left with Jeslyn without a backward glance, leaving the others lost in thought.
Finally, Axell broke the silence, saying, âI didnât expect someone like Mr.
Waston to personally enroll his child in a language course.
But isnât she a bit too young for that?â
Jessie smoothed her hair casually and replied, âIf it proves too challenging for her, sheâll likely give it up eventually.
â
She doubted Jeslyn had the patience for learning a foreign language at her age; children got tired of things fast after all.
Axell sensed Jessieâs mood wasnât great.
As they sat in the car, he asked curiously, âYou seemed rather indifferent towards Mr.
Waston back there.
Is it because you dislike him or because of his reputation?â
Jessie didnât want to talk about the past.
So she shrugged and said lightly, âYes, I simply donât care for him!
Anyway, the little girl wonât stick with it for long.
Letâs mind our own business, okay?â
After a moment of contemplation, Axell spoke again.
âIâm not fond of that kid either.
Sheâs too precocious for her age.
But Jessie, sometimes you have to compromise⦠I know youâre used to a wealthy lifestyle, but things are different now, right?â
Jessie remained silent, her gaze fixed on the road ahead.
Axell genuinely cared for her.
Quickly, he apologized, âI didnât mean to upset you, Jessie.
Please forgive me.
If teaching the little girl becomes too challenging, Iâll help you talk her out of it, alright?â
Jessie turned to him and said firmly, âYou must promise not to pressure me into anything in the future like you just did earlier.
â
Axell leaned over, intending to ki*s her cheek, but then opted to ki*s her forehead instead.
After dismissing the driver, Albert planned to drive himself.
Just as he was about to start the car, he caught sight of the scene.
Seeing Axell gently ki*s Jessieâs forehead, Albert gripped the steering wheel tightly.
When Axell settled back into his seat, he noticed the prominent figure staring at them.
Flustered, Axell nodded awkwardly at Albert.
