A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Chapter 3061 In the evening, around six, Marcus drove Melissa to the Fowlers mansion in a Rolls Royce.

Even though it was Marcus’ birthday, Waylen, with Matthew present, didn’t scold Marcus much for being late at his own birthday party.

On Marcus’ arrival, Waylen only grunted, “Finally decided to show up, huh? Nearly forgot your own birthday, didn’t you?” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Marcus shut the car door, replying, “Dad, you always know me too well” Waylen just rubbed his nose.

The Fowler family was buzzing with activity. Despite it being mid-winter, they had set up a panoramic glass room in the courtyard for the party. Many of Duefron’s elite had gathered.

The official reason was to celebrate Marcus’ birthday, but their real motive was to network with the Fowler family.

Naturally, some were there just for the spectacle. Violette, Marcus’ ex, and her family were among the attendees. Now that Marcus had a son, and it appeared the child's mother had returned to him, everyone was curious about how she'd manage the situation Marcus then opened the car door.

Melissa lifted her head slightly and met his gaze. She realized that stepping out of the car meant a major leap in their relationship.

Eagles “Come on out. My dad has been waiting for us for quite a while.” Marcus spoke so softly that it was almost a caress to everyone's ears.

Violette was there too, biting her Lip.

She noticed Marcus had never used such a tone with her before.

Tears seemed imminent in Violette's eyes. Jessie, looking glamorous, casually held her drink and remarked, “Is this too much for you already? Remember how Marcus used to be so emotionally unsettled over Melissa?” Emotionally unsettled...

Violette found it hard to believe. The thought of Marcus, typically so reserved, being overtaken by strong emotions seemed impossible to her.

Jessie, managing to keep her face neutral, added, “Marcus showered Melissa with love. How else do you explain them getting back together, given his pride?” Violette felt a sting of jealousy. “I guess it’s all because of their son.” Jessie couldn't help but mock Violette's naivety. “Seriously? Do you really think the Fowler family are desperate for heirs? Can't you bear children for him? Do you believe the Fowler family would ‘welcome a woman back into Marcus’ life after years apart just for the sake of a child? That child is cherished because it's Melissa's, because Marcus loves her. Without it, the kid would just be another faceless heir, rich but powerless.” Violette was on the verge of tears, struggling to keep them at bay as she gazed at Marcus, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Meanwhile, Melissa stepped out of the car.

Being the mother of the Fowler family’s eldest grandson, she naturally captured everyone's attention. Though many envied her without knowing her full story, the presence of several Fowler Group executives who were taken aback by her appearance indicated her significance.

It was hard for them to grasp that Marcus had brought Melissa, his former secretary back then.

Sylvia was present too, standing next to Rena in a modest dress, her expression tinged with excitement.

Chapter 3062 The Fowler family chose not to formally introduce Melissa to the gathering.

Instead, Waylen escorted her to meet a few relatives closely connected to the family, including key shareholders of the Fowler Group. Shortly after, Rena approached with Matthew, swiftly guiding Melissa towards the group of women for socializing.

Melissa, having gone through much in the past three years, handled herself confidently in such settings.

Her composure was further bolstered by Rena's presence, who was well-known among the elite women of Duefron as someone not to be crossed.

Rena typically kept her grievances from her husband, preferring to personally deal with those who crossed her.

Having Rena by her side made Melissa feel comfortable.

Every now and then, when Melissa looked up, she caught Marcus’ eye.

Eagles He seemed to be mingling for most of the evening. Around nine, representatives from Summit Ltd showed up, accompanied by Albert.

Melissa was just about to greet Albert when Violette stopped her.

“Melissa, can I have a word with you?” she asked.

Wearing a light pink dress, Violette looked exceptionally youthful and radiant.

Melissa couldn't help but think Marcus really had an eye for beauty.

He once mentioned settling for a wife, but Violette was nothing short of breathtaking. She was surely exactly his type.

It was clear that Violette had had too much to drink.

She stared at Melissa with a look of envy and didn’t hold back. “The first time I saw you, I thought you were so elegant and attractive.

I even complimented you to Marcus. But I never imagined you'd end up taking him from me,” Violette confessed, tears starting to form in her eyes. “I can’t stand you.” Their exchange hadn't gone unnoticed. A few of the socialites nearby had caught wind of the drama unfolding. The buzz was that the Finch family’s daughter was stirring trouble for Marcus’ future bride. They were all eager to see how it would unfold.

Melissa found herself in a tight spot.

Even though Melissa and Marcus had a child together and he had a preference for her, the truth remained that Marcus had been seeing Violette before Melissa re-entered his life. This fact left Melissa in a difficult situation.

Melissa, who usually remained calm and logical, found herself at a loss when faced with someone acting irrationally.

Adding to the complexity, Violette was drunk.

With her breaking voice, Violette pleaded while holding Melissa's hand, “Melissa, could you please let me be with Marcus? I just can’t imagine a life without him... I really like him.” The moment was awkward and difficult.

Melissa, for all her skill in speaking, found herself with little room to navigate this conversation.

Chapter 3063 From a distance, Jessie overheard their exchange. She approached Rena with a grin, lifting Matthew into her arms. “Matthew, do you still remember who I am?” she asked.

Recognizing Jessie, Matthew warmly responded, “Auntie Jessie, can you hold me?” Jessie, feeling a sudden emotional tug, mused that Matthew was just as charming as his mother.

After nodding at Rena, Jessie carried Matthew over to where the women were gathered. Handing Matthew to Melissa, she asked somewhat brusquely, “What's going on? Are you neglecting your son? He's been looking for you. No man, no matter how attractive or talented, can match the thoughtfulness of your own little angel.” Melissa was taken aback.

Suddenly, Matthew was in Melissa’s arms. Having not seen Melissa for a while, Matthew missed her deeply. In a soft voice, he murmured, “Mommy This was a game-changing move.

In the face of an innocent and adorable child, Violette's complaints and declarations of love seemed insignificant.
