Meanwhile, Daisys ashes had already beenid to rest.


    The sun shone bright, casting a warm glow on Daisys photo on the tombstone. With her passing, her wrongs faded away, and Albert felt no more bitterness towards her.


    Jeslyn squeezed Alberts hand.


    She stooped down, looking at the lovelydy depicted on the tombstone To Jeslyn, Daisy felt like a stranger. People said Daisy was her mother but Jeslyn couldnt fathom why Daisy had never lived with her and her father.


    The ceremony wrapped up.


    Albert scooped up Jeslyn. He gave her a kis and nestled her head on his shoulder. No words were needed; he simply held his daughter close.


    Though Jeslyn was the result of Daisys affair with another man, Albert cherished her deeply.


    He had looked into Jeslyns birth father, a good-looking college student. Albert had even delved into the young mans familys medical history to ensure there were no inherited diseases.

    Jeslyn also hugged Albert.


    Next to them, Marcus and Melissa wore ck, with white flowers pinned to their chests.


    Melissa looked deeply mournful.


    Marcus, however, observed Albert and the little girl, shaking his head softly. Finding out the girls name was Jeslyn, he realized Albert still cared about Jessie.


    He thought Albert had been a coward. He understood why Albert gave up on Rene back then since she was married. But Jessie was single, Marcus felt they should have been together when they had the chance.


    He didnt see the point in raising a child that wasnt even his own and named her Jeslyn.


    Turning to Melissa, he noticed tears in her eyes, so he put his arm around her shoulder.


    After the funeral, the surroundings seemed even lonelier.


    Albert brought Jeslyn back to Daisys old mansion. It had been almost two years since hed set foot here.


    To his surprise, everything remained unchanged from when hedst seen it.


    The remaining servant hurried over, perhaps fearing shed lose her job. Mr. Waston, youre back! Albert nodded and then gently put Jeslyn down, saying, Take Jeslyn to the backyard to y. I need to go upstairs.


    The servant couldnt read his expression.


    She reached to pick up Jeslyn but the girl resisted. Tears forming, she looked at Albert and cried, Daddy! Alberts heart melted. He scooped Jeslyn up and headed upstairs.
