Chapter 3406: Chapter 3407

Albert offered a faint smile, though the heaviness in his expression betrayed his true feelings to his mother.

It wasn’t until Helen had put Jeslyn to bed that she broached the topic with her son, preparing a cup of tea to ease the tension.

After taking a sip, Albert complimented, “Mom, the tea you brew is exceptional.

I can’t find anything like this anywhere else.

I should have Emma learn from you one of these days.

”

Helen shook her head, disapproving.

“So, you’ve hired a secretary just to serve you tea? What a waste of talent!

Over the years, you’ve become more composed, but you’ve lost some of your honesty and individuality.

”

Albert smiled wearily, leaning back against the sofa and running a hand through his hair.

He leaned against the sofa, touched his forehead and sighed.

“I guess I’m just getting older.

I don’t have the same energy I used to.

”

Helen leaned in, gently massaging his temples.

“I’ve heard you’ve been spending time with Jessie lately.

Jeslyn mentioned that she turned you down.

What happened? If you still have feelings for her, you should do everything you can to win her back.

Don’t let her slip away again.

”

Albert sighed, his gaze distant.

“She’s seeing someone else now.

He’s a doctor.

They seem to be happy together.

”

Helen was taken aback.

She knew from mutual acquaintances that Jessie hadn’t been involved with anyone in years.

Why had she suddenly found a boyfriend as soon as Albert returned to Duefron?

Was Jessie defending Albert as if he were a contagious virus?

Thinking of this, Helen couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Albert couldn’t help but protest in a low voice in front of his mother, “You’re mocking me too?”

Helen teased back, “Well, you deserve it.

She’s treating you the way you treated her in the past.

I think it’s fair.

You still have feelings for her, Albert, and it’s evident.

Perhaps all you can do now is observe quietly and see if there’s any opportunity.

But remember, no matter how much you care for her or how influential you may be, you can’t interfere with her current relationship.

Jessie has been through a lot before.

She used to love you deeply, but—”

Helen paused, her heart filled with pity for both Jessie and Albert.

There was a time when her son could have had the perfect relationship and family.

After a prolonged silence, Albert said softly, “I understand.

I promise you.

”

Meanwhile, as Albert remained absent, Axell’s relationship with Jessie flourished.

In early June, Axell’s parents expressed a desire to meet Jessie upon learning of their son’s new girlfriend.

Axell shared the news over the phone with a smile.

Jessie covered the receiver, sharing a glance with Lettie.

Sensing their romance was blossoming, Lettie offered a gentle suggestion, “It’s a rare opportunity for them to visit.

You should meet them.

No pressure, though.
