A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 3001 However, Melissa was not in the mood to appreciate it. She softly closed the bedroom door and then asked in a low voice, “You're aware of it, aren't you?" “What do you mean?” Marcus countered.

Melissa avoided voicing it out, and silence enveloped them for a while.

Eventually, Marcus suggested, “If you want to discuss Matthew, come out and let's talk. I'm at the apartment.” His indifferent tone left Melissa unable to discern his thoughts.

However, she had no desire to visit his apartment.

Upon hearing her decision, Marcus promptly ended the call after saying “We'll discuss it another time then.” Melissa glanced at her phone, biting her lip.

She perched at the foot of the bed, facing the window where twilight painted the winter landscape. Despite the coldness of the season, an inner fire raged within her, refusing to be quelled.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a friend request from Marcus on WhatsApp.

Melissa stared at the request for a while before finally accepting it.

She felt she had no other option.

After accepting Marcus’ friend request, Melissa received no message from him. Ten minutes later, she dialed his number. “Marcus, we need to talk” “I'l be waiting." When Melissa grabbed her car keys and headed out, Julie was taken aback. “Where are you going? Dinner will be ready shortly.” Melissa evaded, “I forgot an important document at the office.” Julie reminded Melissa not to overexert herself and emphasized the importance of her health.

Melissa offered a faint smile.

To avoid causing any disruption to Julie and Matthew, Melissa refrained from disclosing the details of her conversation with Marcus to Julie. Sitting in the car, Melissa held the steering wheel for a moment, lost in thought, before starting the engine and driving off.

Melissa soon arrived at the building complex.

Standing before the door of the penthouse apartment, she adjusted her coat and rang the doorbell.

Marcus answered the door.

Although it was chilly outside, the apartment exuded warmth. Marcus stood there in a simple white shirt, his handsome face radiating maturity and charm, accentuated by his deep gaze.

Marcus cast a discerning gaze over Melissa.

Chapter 3002 She was draped in a dark brown high-necked overcoat, likely with a dress concealed beneath it. Black stockings enveloped her exposed calves.

Her long hair was elegantly coiled up, and her makeup was light yet flawlessly applied.

In truth, she appeared stunningly beautiful.

However, Marcus frowned. “Don’t you have something warmer to wear?" Melissa's complexion was somewhat pale, her recovery from the cold was not yet complete. She spoke softly. “'m not here to discuss my attire with you. What I wear is none of your concern, Mr.

Fowler.” Melissa's tone was sharp.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Marcus stepped aside to allow her entry. As she bent down to remove her shoes, he closed the door with one hand while encircling her waist with the other, swiftly pinning her against the door.

Melissa's black hair cascaded freely, unrestrained, and flowing.

(Eagles) The ambiance grew increasingly romantic.

However, Marcus deemed it insufficient. With one hand, he ensnared her, while the other deftly unbuttoned her coat.

Underneath, her figure was slender and enticing.

Leaning against the door, Melissa fixed him with an icy stare. “Mr. Fowler, I presume you have your checkbook ready again?” Marcus disregarded her taunts.

Discarding her coat, he caressed her waist and whispered in her ear, “How can you claim it's none of my concern? How did I end up with a two-year-old son if it's not?” Melissa's eyes reddened, considering Marcus despicable.

Before she could protest, Marcus enveloped her form and led her to the guest room, where they made love for the final time.

Melissa was gently pressed into the plush bed by him, her black hair splayed across the dark bed sheet, accentuating the luminosity of her skin and enhancing her beauty. Furthermore, her slender frame allowed her to sink completely into the bed under his weight.

“Marcus, what are you doing?” Melissa pushed against his shoulder and whispered, but to no avail.

With her body in his grasp, Marcus ki*sed her passionately. Despite knowing it wasn't the right time, he couldn't resist the urge.

He continued to ki*s her fervently, unable to control himself and lost in the moment.

After a few minutes, Melissa transitioned from vigorous resistance to weakly wrapping her arms around his neck, yielding to his ki*ses with a sense of vulnerability. There was a subtle shift in her demeanor, altering the sensation of their ki*ses, prompting him to continue relentlessly.

Eventually, Marcus lifted his head, his dark eyes fixed on her intoxicated visage.

“Marcus...”

Chapter 3003 She murmured his name under her breath, seemingly discontent with his pause. The sight of her parted, ruby lips was irresistible to him.

Marcus couldn't help but lower his head, yearning to ki*s her once more.

Suddenly, a sharp slap landed on his handsome face.

Regaining her senses, Melissa felt a mixture of embarrassment and anger. She hastily wrapped herself in the bed sheet and spat, “Marcus, you jerk” Marcus’ eyes betrayed no emotion.

Touching his cheek, he spoke slowly. “I haven't been slapped since childhood, let alone by a woman. Melissa, how many times have you slapped me so far?” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
