Chapter 3051 Melissa attempted to evade him, but she hesitated momentarily before relenting.
She held a deep admiration for Albert.
He was the one who had rescued her from the depths of despair, providing her with everything she needed and breathing new life into her once more.
To Melissa, Albert represented a mentor figure. Observing his melancholy, she recognized it wasn't only directed at her. Despite her desire to speak, she found herself momentarily transfixed.
Marcus stood in silence opposite the bathroom.
He observed Melissa and Albert silently, noting their interaction.
Eagles.

Their relationship wasn't particularly intimate.
It seemed to be an emotional connection between a man and a woman.
Thus far, Melissa has not reciprocated such sentiment towards Marcus, yet Albert seemed to have garnered it effortlessly.
In that moment, Marcus perceived that Melissa held Albert in higher regard than him.
As the Fowler family heir, Marcus deemed it beneath his dignity to engage in conflict with Albert. Calmly, Marcus informed Melissa, “I'l be waiting in the car” Melissa met Marcus’ gaze.
Albert pressed his fingers to his temple, addressing the young man, “Marcus, please hear me out...” Marcus’ tone remained cool as he remarked, “I must thank you for looking after Melissa all these years, Uncle Albert.” With that, Marcus departed.
Albert glanced back at Melissa, exhaling softly.
“I've put you in a difficult position, haven't I? You're free to resign if you wish,” he offered.
Whatever she needed, he would provide it.
Melissa shook her head resolutely.
“lwon't resign,” she declared.
Observing Albert's unease from excessive drinking, Melissa spoke gently, “Mr. Waston, you've misunderstood something. You believe you'll worry about me once you return to Heron, but let me pose a question for you. If Jessie were in my shoes, would you feel concerned for her? Would you allow her to drink this much?” Albert was taken aback.
Turning the faucet on, Melissa splashed cold water on her face, composedly remarking, “You wouldn't. Mr. Watson, do you need me to point out who holds a more significant place in your heart? You, Jessie, and many others in the company might assume that I made it this far simply because you held me in high regard. However, the truth is quite different. I've remained by your side because of Jessie. Of course, you haven't treated her well either.
Mr. Watson, you took me here because I am just a secretary after all.

Albert remained silent, his gaze fixed on Melissa.
In that moment, he struggled to discern his emotions. Had he been too demanding of her? Regaining her composure, Melissa offered, “I'll arrange for the driver to take you home.” However, Albert replied casually, “I'd prefer to be alone for a bit." Melissa stepped aside to summon the driver for Albert before departing.
Melissa had arrived in the company car. Now she wondered if she could get a taxi here in the middle of the night.
Stepping out of the club, she spotted a white Bentley parked by the roadside.
After pondering briefly, Melissa approached the passenger door and climbed in, finding Marcus inside, smoking quietly. She remained silent. Eventually, Marcus broke the silence.
“Melissa, am I nothing more than your casual fling now?” Silence enveloped the two.
Melissa blinked, her voice soft.
(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) “Is that what you believe?” Marcus, visibly upset, countered, “Have you thought about our future at all? Last night meant nothing to you, did it? That's why you rushed out for birth control pills in the morning. That's why you don’t want me at your place, right?” His frustration made him sound harsh.
Melissa, feeling unwell from all the alcohol she consumed, lacked the energy for arguments. Slumped in her seat, she murmured, “What answer do you expect from me? That everything is fine now, after just one night together?” Marcus watched her, his expression unreadable.
He spoke, his tone measured.
“You're aware of Albert's feelings for you, yet you stay. How can I overlook that?” It troubled Marcus deeply.
Melissa was with Marcus briefly three years ago, but Albert had been by her side for three long years.
Despite everything, she chose to stay with Albert.
After hearing Marcus, Melissa offered a faint smile.
She attempted to smooth her disheveled hair, her shaky hands betraying her emotions. Once composed, she whispered softly, “Yes, I'm aware. But what makes you think you can judge me? When I arrived in Heron, I had nothing, not even the assurance of a future for my unborn child. What choices did I have? Return to Duefron, devoid of pride, and plead for your acknowledgment of our child? Or accept the support of someone genuinely willing to offer me a different path?
Chapter 3053 What choice would you have made, Marcus? You don't understand anything! I never pleaded without facing humiliation from you. Why would this time be different? Why would I believe that a child you didn't even want would bring you around? Or that we could mend things Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
between us? Even in reconciliation, I feared being nothing more than a convenience to you, easily discarded with a check when you grew tired of me.
(Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) Yet, Mr. Waston offered something different. He offered me a new chance in life and I've learned and grown so much ever since. Even if I leave him now, I'm capable of securing another decent job to support Matthew and Julie. I can carve out a life free from manipulation. I've explained before, Marcus, our paths diverge.
You're overwhelmed with options; I'm cornered with none.” As Melissa spoke, her voice wavered slightly.
She looked down, her voice barely above a whisper, “What was I to do? Face another pregnancy alone?” She attempted to leave the car, driven by the need to escape, despite the biting cold and the unlikely chance of hailing a cab.
But Marcus, with a flick of his wrist, locked the doors.
Melissa's frustration was gentle but palpable as she tapped on the door.
Marcus glanced at her before returning to his cigarette, the smoke filling the car, prompting her to cough.
