As Alberts car sped past them, the ground churned beneath its wheels, the splashing of water and mud merging into one.
Axell ceased kising Jessie, and the atmosphere in the car turned somber.
Their heavy breaths filled the silence, tinged with an underlying sadness and awkwardness.
Leaning against the back of her seat, Jessie spoke softly, Ive been over him for a long time.

Jessie chose not to expose Axells lie.
She held a favorable opinion of him overall. He seemed like a suitable partner for marriage. However, Albert remained a barrier between them. If Axell couldnt reconcile with that reality, their relationship would inevitably face challenges, no matter how hard they tried to ignore it.
After a moment of contemplation, she suggested, Lets take a moment to calm down, Axel. Consider whether this relationship is worth continuing. Call me when you decide, okay? Axells heart constricted at her words.
He turned to look into Jessies eyes, where he detected a lingering sadness. It was a poignant sadness, one that drew men in, tempting them to claim it for themselves.
Without thinking, he reached out to gently tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear.
What are you talking about? How could we even think about breaking up over this? Its late now. Let me drive you home, he replied, his voice filled with reassurance.
Jessie gazed back at him tenderly. After a moment of silence, she posed a crucial question, So you wont bring this up again? Axell shook his head firmly. No, I wont. | promise.

Upon his return to the villa, Albert was surprised to find Helen there aswell.
Helen had chosen to remain in Duefron all these years, unwilling to relocate to Heron. Perhaps she still harbored resentment toward Alberts father, the man who had deceived her.
Despite her advancing age, Helen maintained an air of elegance as she playfully interacted with Jeslyn.
Helen was a woman of intelligence. She knew that Albert and Daisy had a strained relationship, and she was aware that Jeslyn was not
Alberts biological daughter.
Yet, out of a desire for her son to have a semblance of a real family, Helen chose to overlook these discrepancies.
Mom! Albert greeted her warmly.
Albert removed his coat and handed it to the servant before entering the hall. Jeslyn rushed over and wrapped her arms around his leg, calling out Daddy. Helen noticed the faint smell of smoke clinging to Albert and remarked, You smell like smoke. Arent you worried itll affect the child?
