The single father looked taken aback, and Jessie found herself equally surprised.
Looking up, she met Albertâs intense gaze.
His claim that she was his wife ignited a flicker of anger within her.
After dismissing the single father, she attempted to leave.
Albert gently grasped her wrist, his voice low and commanding, sending shivers down her spine.
âWhy deny whatâs between us? Are you really considering dating someone else?â

Jessieâs lip quivered as she met his intense gaze.
âAlbert, Iâve told you before.
If this doesnât work out, I might move on⦠until I find-â
Before she could finish, her words were silenced by his ki*s.
In the corridor, Albert had her pressed against the wall, her movements restricted by his firm grip.
When she resisted, he effortlessly raised her arms above her head, sending shivers down her spine with his passionate ki*s.
âStill resisting?â
His voice was husky, his gaze smoldering.
âIf you keep talking like that, I might just have to take you right here.
â
Jessie kicked him in frustration.
âYouâre incorrigible, Albert.
â
He leaned in closer, his words a whisper against her skin.
âOnly for you, Jessie.
Itâs been days, and Iâve missed you.
â
Jessie had meant to push him away, to get away from him, but then she caught a scent, a hint of blood in the air.
Glancing down, she noticed his white shirt stained crimson.
It was clear his wound had reopened.
Fury bubbled up inside her.
âAre you insane? Why would you risk yourself like this? Do you want to bleed to death and make me raise your daughter?â
Albert remained quiet, simply bowing his head and gazing at her with tender eyes.
While Jessie felt the urge to chastise him, she held back her feelings and declared, âThis is it, the final
time!â
She assisted him in getting into her car.
Albertâs driver had already left with Jeslyn and Elsie.
When Jessie inquired about their destination, Albert gently answered, âTo our old villa.
â
Even though Jessie was reluctant to visit the villa, she was equally unwilling to head to his house.
The car moved smoothly forward in silence, with no one speaking.
Upon reaching the villa, Jessie got the first aid kit to care for his wound, recalling the previous occasion she had done so, which had resulted in them becoming intimateâ¦
Albert, being far more seasoned, anticipated her thoughts.
While Jessie was changing his bandages, Albertâs toned abdomen quivered subtly under her touch, appearing quite enticing.
Jessie, feeling quite embarrassed, swiftly steered the conversation elsewhere.
