Albert pulled out a tube of ointment, popped the lid with one hand, and dabbed some gently on Jessie''s face, careful not to hurt her again.


    With Jessie locked in his embrace, she had no choice but to stay put.


    She felt awkward, turning her face away. She didn''t want to talk to him but eventually couldn''t help blurting out, “Why are you here? Just to mock me?” Albert stayed silent, tending to her with the ointment.


    The sight brought back memories of their past. Jessie acted all experienced but Albert discovered onlyter she was still a virgin.


    She had been shy and had cried out in pain during their first time together.


    That night, he hadpromised for the first time.


    Jessie, much younger and delicate, acted like a spoiled child. He had to give in.


    And after s@x, hed apply ointment for her, just like now.


    Albert gazed at Jessie, murmuring, “I just wanted to see you. Nothing more.” Then he released his hold.


    Truth be told, Jessie didn''t want him to let go. So when he did, she was.


    taken aback for a moment.


    After everything she''d been through, however, Jessie seemed to mature.


    Instead of tears, she calmly said, “Thanks for dropping by, Mr. Watson.


    I''m good. You can take off now.” She struggled to keep herposure before adding, “You''re hitched now, so focus on your wife! She seems... She seems lovely.” Albert fixed her with his intense gaze.


    After a lengthy silence, he fished out cigarettes, lighting one up.


    Seeing this, Jessie turned away and exited.


    Albert didn''t halt her. Instead, he watched her go, puffing away on his cigarette.


    Did he regret it? Perhaps a tad.
