Chapter 3620 Feeling vulnerable, Melissa couldn't resist giving in to her emotions.
"Marcus, the children are still in the car.
Marcus held her hand for a moment before releasing it.
The black Rolls-Royce glided quietly through the night, enveloping Melissa in a sense of safety and comfort. Leaning back in her seat, Melissa gazed out the window at the dark night, her thoughts drifting to Jessie, likely reveling in the holiday festivities as well.
Meanwhile, at the Waston Mansion, Lights illuminated the scene.
The spacious kitchen was brightly lit, bustling with activity as Jessie and Jeslyn worked diligently.
Jeslyn had taken on the task of baking a cake for Christmas, intending to decorate it with a castle featuring Albert.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJessie had been occupied for quite a while, but she finally completed baking the cake base.
As she grappled with the cream piping, Jessie found herself in a dilemma.
While she managed to shape the castles with relative ease, figuring out how to extrude Albert's Likeness from cream posed a challenge.
Observing Jessie's struggle, Jeslyn leaned in, resting her chin on her hand and offering encouragement. "Just shape him the way you see him in your mind and eyes," she urged.
"I've noticed how you often stare at him.
Isn't my dad handsome?" Jessie felt the urge to sew Jeslyn's mouth shut.
While she wasn't familiar with Albert's late wife, it was clear to Jessie that Jeslyn had been greatly influenced by Albert's upbringing.
Regardless of their biological connection, Jeslyn seemed to have inherited Albert's temperament entirely.
Sensing Jessie's discomfort, Jeslyn stretched and suggested, "I'll go outside to build a snowman.
Take your time.
Once it's ready, let's enjoy it together.
Speechless, Jessie watched as Jeslyn hurried away.
With a determined expression, she proceeded to carefully craft the cake.
Yet her gaze kept drifting to the window.
Outside, the snow was getting heavier and heavier.
Jessie realized she might be stranded for the night, but she wasn't overly concerned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlbert had been traveling frequently over the past six months, often leaving her in charge of Jeslyn's care.
Staying overnight at the mansion had becroutine.
The thought brought a blush to Jessie's cheeks.
As the sound of a car approached from outside, Jessie paid it littlem mind, assuming it was the villa's driver returning from a shopping trip with Elsie. Given the ongoing snowfall, they had probably gone out to gather supplies.
With her focus on the challenging task of cake-making Jessie kept her head lowered. Footsteps approached from behind her.
She thought it was Jeslyn, so she spoke softly.
"It's cold out there, right?" No one answered.
The footsteps drew nearer until a pair of strong arms enveloped Jessie's waist, emanating a familiar male scent mingled with the chill of winter.
Albert?
