Chapter 2961 Melissa, I've been thinking. I want to start a mobile breakfast cart instead of a real diner. I might not make much that way, but my hours would be flexible. Matt is still young and needs someone to take care of him." Melissa sipped her soup thoughtfully.

She looked at Julie for a while and said softly, “That sounds like a lot of work for you, taking care of Matt and running a business.

Let's wait a couple more years. When he starts primary school, I'll be able to save up enough to open a proper diner for you.” Julie was unafraid of putting in hard work.

But Melissa didn't want Julie to endure unnecessary hardships.

Recognizing Julie's contributions and support, Melissa wished for Julie to lead a joyful and fulfilling life.

Since Melissa insisted, Julie decided to broach the topic another time.

(Eagles) After a quiet dinner, Melissa gave Matthew a bath.

The night settled in peacefully.

Julie lovingly tucked Matthew in. Melissa said behind Julie in a low voice, “I met him today.” Julie's hand gently patting Matthew froze for a second.

After a while, she looked back and motioned for Melissa to step outside to speak privately by raising her chin.

She brewed a cup of fruit tea for Melissa, providing warmth both physically and emotionally.

“What happened?” Julie asked gently after they settled in.

Melissa recounted the events of the day, and Julie listened intently.

After a moment of silence, Julie reached out, holding Melissa's as if she had been her daughter. “What are you gonna do now? You have a son, and I believe Mr. Fowler has feelings for you. If you want..." “I don't want to,” Melissa interjected lightly and indifferently.

“I'm not suited for Marcus. His girlfriend comes from a good background. Both their families would be pleased with their union.

Besides, Marcus doesn’t know about Matthew. Since I didn't tell him before, it's still unnecessary now. I can raise my child well without him.” Julie nodded in agreement.

“It's good that you've thought this through. We're capable of providing for ourselves. We're not afraid of being unable to raise the child." “Thank you, Julie,” Melissa expressed gratitude gently.

Julie playfully tapped Melissa's head. “Don’t thank me, silly girl.\

Chapter 2962 Drink your tea and get some rest. You have work tomorrow morning.” Upon hearing this, Melissa couldn't resist voicing her complaint.

“Jessie had another spat with Mr. Waston today.” Julie feigned surprise. “Really? Then his face will be scratched again." Melissa smiled and didn't say anything more.

However, Julie was lost in contemplation. She recalled meeting Albert previously. He had often escorted Melissa home from various social gatherings. On one occasion, he had even visited their home, though he only stayed for a cup of tea.

Albert's gaze towards Melissa seemed strange.

According to Julie's observation, it wasn't really about Melissa. It was more like Albert was looking at someone else through Melissa.

Julie had heard the rumors circulating in Duefron since she moved here.

In his youth, the debauched Albert harbored a crush on Marcus’ mother.

(Eagles) ‘When Melissa faced her lowest point, Albert took her in. Over the next two years, Melissa gradually resembled Rena more and more.

Julie didn't know what to make of it.

However, Melissa had undoubtedly improved compared to before.

Julie refrained from expressing these thoughts in Melissa's presence, as it wasn't really appropriate to do so.

The following day, Melissa went to work, noticing the fresh scratches on Albert's face and bruises on his neck.

It's quite intense! She mused to herself.

However, Melissa maintained a faint smile as she reported her work to Albert diligently. Despite her efforts, Albert seemed preoccupied.

After several attempts, Melissa couldn't help but ask, “Mr. Watson, do you need to see a doctor?” Albert straightened up immediately. “I'm perfectly fine.” Melissa only smiled lightly.

Albert then tossed her a pamphlet. “Jessie wants a piece of jewelry.

Pick something out for her” With a polite smile, Melissa suggested, “I believe Miss Green would appreciate it more if you accompanied her to choose something.” Albert reclined in his chair, eyeing Melissa.

Chapter 2963 “You don't understand. Women are never satisfied. Take her jewelry shopping today, and tomorrow she'll demand a ring. Such a headache.” Melissa held back a response, simply nodding.

She picked up the pamphlet and said, “Alright, I'l handle it." As she made to leave, Albert halted her. “Wait a moment.” He retrieved a card from his drawer and handed it to Melissa. “This is a gift card for the finest French restaurant in the city.

Consider it a birthday gift from me. Take Matthew and Julie there for a meal when you have the chance.” Melissa accepted graciously. “Thank you, Mr. Watson.” Albert smiled. “Now, back to work." Melissa returned to her office, where she enjoyed the comforts of her private workspace as the chief secretary, boasting an area of 15 square meters and a pleasant environment.

(Eagles) After taking a moment to inspect the gift card, Melissa eventually placed it inside her desk drawer.

Melissa carefully perused the jewelry booklet, studying each description intently. Eventually, she found a necklace that she thought would be perfect for Jessie. Melissa snapped a photo of it and promptly sent it to Jessie. “Do you like this one?” Meanwhile, Jessie, in the midst of applying nail polish at her villa, received Melissa's message.

She hesitated, grappling with her complex feelings toward Melissa.

In truth, Jessie harbored no real animosity towards Melissa. However, their relationship was complex. Previously, Jessie had pursued Marcus, who had favored Melissa. Now, Jessie was involved with Albert, while Melissa appeared to hold a special place in Albert's heart, although he had never openly admitted it.
