A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2831-2840

Chapter 2831 Melissa crouched in the dimly lit kitchen, tirelessly scrubbing the stack of greasy bowls and plates. If she finished these, she'd earn $100, adding up to $3, 00 for a month's work. With her other two jobs, her monthly earnings could soar to nearly $20, 000. She was determined to pay off her debts as quickly as possible.

She often thought about clearing her debt to Marcus, believing it would bring her some peace when facing him.

The thought of their relationship, however, was something she dared not entertain.

The events of that night in her rented apartment seemed like a distant dream to her.

A dream she felt she should forget.

And she almost did forget, like a child who relishes a sweet cake only to have the taste fade over time. Yet, whenever it crossed her mind, a tinge of sadness still lingered.

Her focus was broken by a sharp pain. She realized her cut finger had been soaking in the dirty dishwater, now swollen and throbbing with discomfort.

(Eagles) Melissa extended her hand, her gaze fixed on her calloused fingers.

She was deep in thought, yet she knew she couldn't afford to daydream for long.

She realized it would be past one in the morning by the time she finished.

And she had an early start at the breakfast shop at six.

As she washed the dishes with intense focus, the pain in her hands seemed to fade away. In the dimly lit, cramped restaurant, a man of elegance stood. His silhouette stretched in the faint light.

Melissa only looked up when the light wisps of smoke cleared.

Her eyes met his.

He was impeccably dressed as always, maintaining his poise even in such a shabby setting. Yet his eyes were cold, impersonal, as if he were looking at a stranger.

Melissa's lips parted slightly, a hint of awkwardness on her face.

She felt more self-conscious than she had been at the cafe, unsure of what to do with her hands.

Marcus, with a cigarette between his lips, said slowly, “Do you love him so much that you'd go to any lengths for him?” He was a man whose pride wouldn't let him easily discuss Ryan's scandal.

Marcus gazed at Melissa, puzzled about what she might say.

He hoped she would plead with him, admit her feelings, and ask him to take her back to Duefron.

In his mind, Marcus thought if Melissa begged, he might consider helping her. He planned to help her. She couldn't expect more.

Finally, Melissa said softly, “Yes. I do love him a lot.” Marcus’ expression turned sour.

Chapter 2832 He mocked her, “Great. You two are made for each other. Then why do you want to end things with him?” Melissa found herself at a loss for words with Marcus.

She couldn't confess to him that her heart belonged to someone it shouldn't. She could deceive Marcus, pretend to be with him, but they were so different, plus she already had a boyfriend back then.

It was too awkward for her.

Unable to find the right words, Melissa remained silent.

Marcus watched her silently. After a while, he finished his cigarette and walked away.

In the dimly lit kitchen, the light struggled to shine through.

Melissa blinked, bowing her head as she continued to scrub the greasy plates.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, mingling with the oily water.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Late into the night, she didn’t stop washing until her fingers pruned and her back ached. She picked up the 100-dollar bill the owner had left on the table and trudged away, exhausted.

Outside, a black car halted in front of the diner.

Marcus lounged in the driver's seat, his arm out the window, a cigarette perched between his slender fingers.

He looked effortlessly cool.

Melissa stood silently, her gaze fixed on him in the car.

After a long pause, she approached and murmured, “Il repay the 800,000 dollars.” Marcus tapped the cigarette, ash falling away.

His brow furrowed slightly. “You took so long to think, just to say that to me? That bracelet was actually worth nearly ten million... but forget the debt. I retrieved the bracelet and dumped it. We're even now.” His words were harsh. It was a first for him, especially towards a woman.

“You owe me nothing. That night we spent together was enough payment for me.” Melissa's throat tightened, making it hard to speak.

In her mind, she desperately tried to deny it. It wasn't like that between them.

She was the only one to blame.

Fighting back tears, she looked down and murmured, “I'l repay the 800 thousand dollars. You didn't smoke much before. It's bad for your health.” Her voice dropped even lower. “I've got 4@ thousand at home. I can give you that first.”

Chapter 2833 Marcus looked at her with a cold gaze and asked, “Are you inviting me over?” “No, not like that. I just want to settle my debt.” Melissa adjusted her clothes, still shivering. She pointed ahead and said, “My place is a five-minute walk from here. Just follow me..." “Get in the car” Melissa hesitated to enter the car, conscious of her dirty clothes and not wanting to stain his car.

Marcus was known for his tidiness. She was aware of his obsession with cleanliness.

“Get in the car,” he said, his voice colder than usual.

Melissa remained still, seemingly clinging to something. She pointed ahead and then dashed off on her own.

The street was empty at midnight.

Her slender figure moved along the road, appearing isolated. Marcus sat silently in the car.

His eyes felt warm.

He struggled to understand his emotions. He resented her, even despised her. He thought about that she had been with another man when she let him touch her.

To him, it didn't matter whether they had sex or not in the end.
