A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 3471

He could read her thoughts, so as she entered, he quipped, “Slip into something comfy and join me for some soup.

It’s chicken soup with fresh bamboo shoots.

Took a good four hours to cook.

”

Jessie slipped on her slippers, brushing off his antics.

In a soft voice, she inquired, “Where’s Jeslyn?”

Wearing a forlorn expression, Albert lamented, “You sure you don’t want a taste? Your mother has been at it all afternoon.

She’s made enough for an army, I reckon.

She even threw in your share.

”

Jessie was puzzled.

What was he on about? Her mom sending chicken soup over?

Jessie found it hard to believe her mom would cook chicken soup for Albert.

Albert could sense Jessie’s disbelief, so he offered her a taste.

As Jessie spotted the bamboo shoots, she recognized them as the specialty only found at her aunt’s place.

Her mom had returned from Tashkao with two bags of them.

Jessie did the math.

Half the shoots had probably ended up in Albert’s soup.

Noting Jessie’s silence, Albert grinned, “Seems your mother has got more concern for me than you do.

Jessie, when are you going to whip up some chicken soup for me?”

Jessie scoffed, “Just you wait.

”

With a businesslike air, she queried, “Is Jeslyn upstairs? I’ll head up to find her.

Oh, and Mr.

Waston, what’s on the agenda for her lessons?”

Albert took a sip of soup, nonchalantly remarking, “Hungarian sounds great.

You learned it in the past few years, didn’t you?”

Jessie saw through his shamelessness.

Paying him any mind would only encourage him further.

She spun on her heel, gliding upstairs, ignoring his antics.

Albert finished the soup in silence.

Wiping his lip, he called for Elsie, “You’re off for a month.

Send all the staff and gardeners home on holiday as well.

”

Elsie was taken aback.

“Mr.

Waston, what’s the plan? You’re still weak and need care.

”

Albert thought Elsie was dense.

He settled onto the sofa, flipping through a magazine with ease.

“Got someone right here to look after me.

”

It took Elsie a while to grasp the situation.

She admired Albert but also felt concerned.

“Is Miss Green okay with this?”

Albert flashed a smile.

Elsie caught on and exclaimed, “Miss Green’s a real softie.

Mr.

Waston, you’re something else.

Tough girls can’t resist a clingy guy.

Keep pestering Miss Green like this, even if she’s sore about you being hitched, her soft spot will win out.
