Winston merely raised his hand to tousle Alessandra’s hair but didn’t acquiesce to her request.

“Wait for me here.

“Winston?” Alessandra was stunned that Winston had rejected her request.

“I’m sorry.

“When I return this time, I’ll ask Miss Moore for time off and spend some quality time with you.
