A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 2931 Unaware of Marcus’ thoughts, the servant rubbed her hands, set the dish on the table, and quietly departed.

Removing his coat, Marcus seated himself at the table.

His gaze lingered on the Lamb chop. Surprisingly surpassing Melissa's culinary skills, yet his appetite remained absent. Retrieving his phone, Marcus dialed a number in silence.

Unfortunately, Melissa's phone persisted in its powered-off state.

Marcus angrily tossed his phone onto the table and abstained from eating anything.

A week passed, and still, he couldn't locate her.

After taking a shower, he found himself in the guest room, where their last intimate encounter had transpired.

Typically, their encounters didn't unfold in the guest room.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) That night, there were signs of his displeasure, but Melissa didn't pick up on them. Despite feeling hurt during their intimate encounter, she made an effort to please him and ensure his comfort.

A bitter smile played on Marcus’ lips.

Leaning against the bed's headboard, Marcus caressed the pillow, detecting a lingering trace of her scent.

Resting on the bedside table, beneath the ring-containing box, lay a receipt left by Melissa at the pharmacy. It documented her purchase of morning-after pills, and as per the clerk, she even consumed one within the store.

Did she harbor resentment as she ingested the contraceptive? The desire to discuss the Smith family lingered within her, yet he failed to provide the opportunity. Her departure likely stemmed from disappointment in him.

Ultimately, he found himself abandoned in their relationship.

Melissa had severed her ties with him.

During the nocturnal hours, Marcus found himself immersed in a dream while reclined on the bed.

The dream unfolded with Melissa's return.

He dreamt about events that had occurred in the past.

“Melissa,” he murmured, a plea escaping his lips in the dream.

He awoke with a sense of joy, but the room remained silent. Early summer nights were characterized by the chirping of insects outside and the hum of the air conditioner.

The following day, Marcus skipped going to the company.

Instead, he drove for five hours to Warsew and met with the owner of the breakfast shop where Melissa had once worked.

Opting against inquiries, he simply left behind Duefron's specialties as a gesture.

Chapter 2932 As the black off-road vehicle departed, the proprietress observed its departure for an extended duration.

After returning to Duefron, Marcus spent hours sitting at the same cafe where he had been with Melissa before. He ordered a lemon tea and a slice of pie that Melissa had ordered for him the last time.

Though not entirely accustomed to the taste, he savored the meal at a leisurely pace.

His remarkable appearance attracted the gaze of many other patrons.

A strikingly beautiful little girl inquired, “Sir, are you heartbroken?” Marcus found himself momentarily taken aback.

After a brief pause, a smile adorned his face. “Indeed, I've suffered heartbreak. I wasn't a good partner. I lost her.” Rising from his seat, he departed the establishment.

Instead of returning to the apartment, he chose to leave it behind.

The diamond ring and the receipt remained within.

Occasionally, Marcus contemplated the notion that, in an alternate space, another version of himself might be leading a blissful life in that apartment with a different Melissa.

In that alternate reality, that version of Marcus wouldn't bring her to tears.

Eagles.

Marcus embarked on a journey to Livebop, leaving Sylvia behind in Duefron instead.

Seasons shifted, with spring giving way to fall.

Initially anticipating a one-year stint in Livebop, Marcus found himself extending his stay unexpectedly to three years.

Concluding the first year, Marcus returned home as Alexis welcomed the arrival of her second child.

Following the arrival of the new baby, the Fowlers’ house buzzed with noise and excitement.

Battling lingering jet lag, Marcus visited Alexis at Leonel’s villa, finding both mother and son in good health. Leonel's attentive care for Alexis was evident.

Named Daniel, Alexis’ son exhibited robust health.

Reports suggested he remained energetic, crying from dawn until dusk.

Evelyn expressed great fondness for Daniel.

Even the family dog displayed excitement, leaping around the bed.

When it was time to breastfeed Daniel, Marcus and Leonel excused themselves. Engaging in casual conversation, the two men found solace in the living room. Abruptly, Leonel inquired, “I've heard that you retained Ryan within the Fowler Group?” Marcus suddenly recalled, offering a faint smile without explanation.

Chapter 2933 However, Leonel, being an astute man, immediately understood Marcus’ intention. As as worked in the Fowler there was long Ryan Group, a possibility that Melissa might return one day.

Probing further, Leonel questioned, “If your concern for Melissa is genuine, why refrain from actively searching for her?” Approaching the window, Marcus unlatched it and retrieved a cigarette, igniting it. After consuming half, he uttered in a subdued tone, “l won't actively seek her out.” Numerous days had gone by since that fateful night.

The chapter between Marcus and Melissa remained in that apartment, just like the diamond ring and the receipt.

A multitude of Fowler Group employees awaited Marcus’ financial obligations.

Time was of the essence, and Marcus couldn't afford further delay.

Acknowledging that his justifications were mere pretexts, he himself knew that the true reason lay in his awareness of Melissa's genuine desire to depart and her profound disappointment in him.

Offering her peace of mind became his solitary contribution now.
