LittleNovelChapter 3228 It was past midnight when Albert got back to Heron.
Since he hadn't given Daisy a heads-up, she was taken aback by his sudden return. When he walked in, she exclaimed, "Albert? I didn't expect you back so soon!" Throwing her arms around him, Daisy was met with Albert's indifferent response.
"I need a bath,” he said flatly, patting her on the shoulder.
With a gentle ki*s on his chin, Daisy offered, "I'll run the bath for you.
"1 Albert accepted without protest.

Exhausted from the recent days, he drifted into slumber the moment his head hit the pillow.
In his half-asleep state, he felt a tickle on his face, as if a puppy were licking him.
Caught between dreams and reality, he reached out to stroke the woman's hair lovingly, murmuring, "Quit it, Jessie.
Letrest! I'm beat!" Startled awake at his own words, he found himself staring into Daisy's astonished eyes.
In that instant, the facade of their harmonious marriage crumbled.
Pretending not to notice her expression, Albert mumbled an apology and turned away, though he felt no remorse.
Daisy had sought solace in someone else's arms mere weeks into their marriage.
Albert knew everything.
Out of respect for this marriage, Albert still apologized now for saying another woman's nin their bed. Daisy was even more taken aback.
Albert had called her Jessie and had been aroused...
It wasn't him rejecting her; he simply didn't want her! Perched on the edge of the bed, Daisy gazed at Albert, who had retreated into his cold demeanor.

Albert had kept his distance from Jessie since tying the knot.
He especially didn't want Daisy bad-mouthing Jessie because of their history.
Rising to his feet, he quipped, "Con! I'm not the one stepping out on our marriage. "
Daisy was floored by his retort, remembering the night she'd been wasted and fooled around with a young guy. They hadn't gone all the way but they'd cuddled, ki*sed, and fooled around for ages.
As Albert headed for the bathroom, Daisy grabbed his hand.
"Albert, are you rejectingfor that shameless woman? What's so great about her? She's just a home-wrecker, chasing after married men!" His patience snapped and he slapped her.
