In her heart, she harbored a deep sense of self-loathing. She felt immense sympathy for Jeslyn, perceiving her as abandoned, much Like she had once felt herself. To Jessie, Jeslyn was like a homeless puppy in need of care andpassion.
Stop! Stop! Before Jessie could fullyprehend, the white BMW screeched to a halt, the abrupt brake echoing through the vicinity of the vi.
Jessie remained seated in the car.
She reasoned that if Jeslyn, despite her less-than-ideal demeanor, was willing toe and ask her to stay once more, then she would consider agreeing to tutor her.
However, Jessie waited patiently for Jeslyns approach, but to no avail.
Jessie lowered the window and nced behind her. Jeslyn remained in the same spot, her dress swaying gently in the breeze.
Jessie stared at Jeslyn.
After a prolonged moment of tension, Jessie reversed the car slowly and addressed Jeslyn, If youe over here, Ill teach you.
Jeslyn pursed her lips, adopting a patronizing expression.
Step out of the car and carry me. My feet are numb.
Jessie sneered. Why should I? Standing for a while has already made your feet numb? If you donte now, ll leave.

Jessie bowed her head and stressed to Jeslyn, My purpose here is to teach you a foreignnguage, not to be your mother.
Jeslyn slouched against Jessies shoulder and remarked casually, I know. You have a boyfriend.
Jessies heart skipped a beat when she heard this.
She couldnt fathom the possibility that she had been manipted
by a three-year-old feigning innocence. Unable to face the embarrassment, she simply asked Elsie, Where is her ssroom? Elsie awkwardly interjected, Miss Jeslyn hasnt had her meal yet.
