A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 3021 Marcus retorted, his tone laced with provocation. “I'm his father, after all. It's only natural for Matthew to call me Daddy, isn't it?" Melissa realized Marcus was deliberately trying to upset her.

She had returned the car and refused to meet him, so this was his way of getting back at her. How petty and irritating he could be! Suppressing her temper, she responded, “I don't want your car!” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Meanwhile, Julie, who had been listening at the door, beckoned to Matthew with a small bowl in her hand.

Matthew eagerly abandoned his toys and scampered towards her like an excited puppy.

Melissa intended to follow him, but Marcus grabbed her hand.

(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Before she could react, Marcus pulled her close, ensnaring her in an awkward embrace.

Lowering his head, he seemed poised to ki*s her.

Fear surged within Melissa, but she spoke softly, her voice trembling with emotion. “Marcus, are you planning to have an affair with me? What are you doing? Have you even considered Matthew's feeling?” Meeting her gaze, Marcus posed a question of his own. “Why didn't you come back to me when you found out you were pregnant?” Melissa knew Marcus had searched for her at that time.

However, she had chosen to bear the child alone, never returning to resolve the situation. It wasn't until three years later, when Marcus was involved with Violette, that she reappeared.

Perhaps Melissa was right.

Marcus harbored a deep-seated resentment towards her.

He hated her so much that he... Even if he still harbored feelings, he was unwilling to acknowledge them.

Melissa didn't want to argue any further.

Since their breakup, their encounters had been fraught with quarrels.

She struggled against Marcus’ grasp, retorting, “Did I have a choice, Marcus? How could I face you after what you said? You claimed I didn't deserve to marry into the Fowler family. Do you not remember?” After uttering those words, Melissa found herself lost in a trance.

Regardless, she didn't want to upset Marcus.

With a sigh, Melissa attempted to diffuse the tension. “Enough, Marcus. Let's let go of each other, shall we? You can continue living your lavish lifestyle, and I'l raise Matthew on my own. I promise, we'll never cross paths again.” Hearing Melissa's response, Marcus fell into a contemplative silence.

Chapter 3022 As Melissa struggled against his touch once more, he wrapped his arm around her waist, soothingly stroking her back.

Perhaps, he had gained wisdom over the years.

Melissa felt a flush of embarrassment and turned her face away, but Marcus’ gaze remained fixed on her.

Evidently, Melissa's body responded to his touch, sparking a familiar longing.

After all, the body wouldn't lie. But was it merely desire? What about Love? (Eagles) Did Melissa still harbor feelings for him? Gently caressing her face, Marcus posed the question. “Do you still love me, Melissa? Please, be honest with me.” Melissa shook her head.

In the past few years, thoughts of Marcus had crossed her mind every now and then, both positive and negative, but whether she loved him or not... it no longer seemed significant to her.

As darkness settled outside, the warm glow of the bedroom cast Marcus in a handsome light.

Observing Melissa's reaction, Marcus remained composed.

“Okay, I understand,” he murmured softly.

Suddenly, his expression shifted. Rising to his feet, he extended his hand towards her, saying, “Dinner should be ready by now. You must be starving!” Melissa anticipated Marcus would stay for dinner, but to her surprise, he donned his overcoat after exiting the bedroom. He went to hug Matthew and said softly, “Daddy has to leave!” Matthew wrapped his arms around Marcus’ neck, clearly reluctant to let go of him.

“Why not stay for dinner?” Julie suggested.

With a faint smile, Marcus declined, citing urgent matters. “I wish I could, but I have something urgent to attend to. Perhaps next time,” he promised, ki*sing Matthew once more. “I'l come to see you another day.” After saying that, he handed Matthew over to Melissa, changed his shoes, and left.

After Marcus left, Matthew seemed to lose his appetite.

Handing a bowl of soup to Melissa, Julie remarked, “What did you say? Mr. Fowler seems rather depressed.” Silently sipping the soup, Melissa couldn't shake off her somber mood.

Sensing her distress, Julie offered reassurance. “If you're not up for it, don't force yourself.” Melissa managed a bitter smile.

Chapter 3023 As night descended, Melissa found herself unable to sleep, despite Matthew's peaceful slumber beside her.

Rising quietly, she ventured into the living room for a drink of water. Upon her return, she noticed the white Bentley still parked outside the building.

Peeking through the curtains, Melissa observed the car, lost in thought.

Leaning against the car, Marcus took a drag from his cigarette, the flickering ember casting an alluring glow on his handsome features.
