As he turned away, Jessies eyes welled up with tears.
In the bright light, her pale face and reddened eyes made her look vulnerable and sorrowful. He approached her and tenderly caressed the corners of her eyes.
Feeling embarrassed, she pushed his hand away.
Instead of becoming irritated, Albert smiled softly. His voice remained gentle as he said, Jessie, Ill give you everything, and in return, youll give yourself to me. How about it?

He meant offering her all the shares of the Waston Group.
He had previously left her for this reason and married someone else.
Now, he was offering her everything he had, pleading for her to be with him again.
Jessie glared at him defiantly.
Her eyes brimmed with tears, yet despite the discomfort, she refused to let them fall.
Albert took out a document from the drawer and approached her side, casting a gentle gaze upon her.
He said softly, If you dont feel secure when youre with me, Ill give you everything. You can sign this document, and then the entire Waston Group will be yours. If you still harbor resentment towards me, you can leave me and take the money with you, but I need you to help me raise Jeslyn in that case. And if you still have even a shred of love for me, then please sign it. Ill devote myself to you for the rest of my days.
Jessie couldnt bear it any longer.

Unable to fully express her anger, she couldnt resist slapping him across the face.
Albert didnt evade the slap. Perhaps he felt guilty, or maybe he found her spirited nature appealing. Regardless, after the fourth slap, he caught her hand and murmured, If you slap me again, I wont tolerate it.
While Jessie was lost in thought, he lifted her and placed her on the back of the sofa.
With tears still in her eyes, he got down on one knee before her and said in a husky voice, Dont move.
She sensed his intentions and felt her body tremble.
Despite being together for years, he had never done this before.
Either it was too private for him, or his natural arrogance prevented him from doing it for a woman.
Under the crystal lamp, Jessie was engulfed in the happiness he bestowed upon her, tears still glistening in her eyes.
She couldnt help but tremble.
Albert them moved up to kis her lips, lingering for a while before resting his forehead against hers. Does that ease your anger? he asked softly.
Jessie observed her disheveled appearance in the mirror.
