A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Marcus tapped her head and smiled. “There will always be occasions.

When we get married, my mother will probably take you to all sorts of gatherings. And don't worry; I'l take care of Matthew at home.” “Do I have to attend those parties?” Melissa asked, a smile playing on her Lips.

He leaned in and ki*sed her. He sounded somewhat distant. “Possibly” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

After he said that, he patted her and gestured for her to change clothes.

After taking off her makeup, Melissa took a quick shower, and then wore some comfortable clothes. Upon returning to the living room, she found Marcus had already prepared two bowls of noodles, which smelled really good.

Melissa sat down and glanced up at Marcus. “When did you Learn to cook?” “Do you really want to know?” Eagles She nodded, her gaze fixed on him.

After a moment, Marcus casually remarked, “During my time at Livebop,

1 was swamped with work every day. I couldn't get accustomed to the local food there, and since I didn't have a personal chef, I taught myself to cook.” He was intelligent, and his culinary skills surpassed Melissa's.

Even the plain noodles tasted delicious. When Melissa took a bite, her hand was grabbed. She glanced up to see Marcus gazing at her intently.

“Do you like it?" With a gentle smile, she replied, “Yes” After watching her for a moment, Marcus grinned and suggested, “Have more since you like it.” Concerned about her figure, she only ate half of the noodles.

Once she finished, she tidied up the table while Marcus headed for a shower. Whenever she entered the main bedroom, she felt a twinge of unease. They had a child together, but she had never slept in this bed before.

And Marcus had a strong sexual desire.

Just the thought made Melissa's face flush. To distract herself, she pulled out her phone to sort out some tasks for the next day.

Lost in her work, she didn't notice Marcus emerging from the bathroom.

He hugged her, one hand holding her close while the other gently took away her phone. “Why are you still working so late?” he inquired.

She felt helpless.

He sat on the sofa, pulled her onto his lap, and handed her a towel.

“Help me dry my hair” he requested.

It was late at night.

And they were alone. There seemed to be no limits to what could be said or done. Melissa's heart softened a bit. Tenderly, she wrapped the towel around his damp hair and muttered, “You haven't changed a bit over the years” “Is that $0?" Marcus held her waist with one hand and stroked it back and forth, hinting at something.

Melissa didn't dare to flirt with him. She concentrated on drying his hair.

After a while, she whispered, “I'm done. Go to bed. You need to wake up early tomorrow.” However, he held her waist firmly, preventing her from getting up.

“Melissa, you haven't wished me a happy birthday yet,” he reminded her.

He hadn't cared much about birthdays in the past.

But this year was different. He had Melissa and Matthew with him for his birthday this time.

Sitting sideways on his lap, Melissa could feel the heat emanating from his body. She was actually afraid that he might act impulsively again, so

she obediently submitted to him and leaned against his shoulder.

“Haven't I already given you a gift?” she asked softly.

She was so close to him that she could see his angular jaw Lifting slightly, making him look very attractive.

Her body was starting to respond.

Marcus tenderly stroked the back of her neck, as if caressing a small animal. “I want to hear you say it.” he insisted.

She could only wrap her arms around his neck and murmur, “Happy birthday, Marcus.” Marcus tightened his grip on her waist, then ki*sed her gently. “I hope that this time next year, you'll be saying these words as my wife” Melissa playfully nibbled on his lips and teased, “Are you the only one celebrating a birthday?” Her tone carried a hint of flirtation, something Marcus always found irresistible.

He couldn't resist. He scooped her up into his arms and carried her towards the bed. He then set her down, leaned in close to her lips, and whispered, “I thought you were too tired and wasn't gonna do anything to you, but now you're just asking for it” Initially, Melissa had resisted.

She had only been intimate with Marcus. Despite her limited experiences, she knew he reveled in sensual pleasures and always found ways to entice her into Lovemaking.

When Melissa woke up the next morning, she felt sore all over like she had been run over by a truck.

Unable to get up for a while, she just lay still, grappling with the discomfort.

The pursuit of momentary pleasures had dampened her lofty ambitions.

The thought of going to work now seemed unbearable.

Marcus had already left the bed. He appeared at the doorway of the masters bedroom, looking fresh and noble as he fastened his cufflinks.

“I'l drive you to the office,” he offered.

Melissa stared at him for a moment before sinking back into the bed.

She simply couldn't muster the strength to get up.

With a smile, Marcus approached and sat on the edge of the bed. His hand slipped under the covers, but Melissa quickly covered it, preventing him from touching her. She groaned softly, “I can't do it anymore. There is a meeting in the company this morning. All the materials are with me.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

When she said this, her face flushed.

Marcus gently brushed her eyebrows with his slender fingers and suggested, “If you're feeling too exhausted, you could resign. Il provide You with a sum of money, and you can pursue whatever you desire with it” However, Melissa had different plans.

For the past six months, she had been diligently working on a partnership proposal with Summit Ltd, and it was nearing completion.

Once the contract was signed, she would become a partner at the Waston Group. This would not only enhance her worthiness to Marcus but also boost her confidence when standing by his side.

But she also understood that Marcus didn’t want her to remain at the

Waston Group.

Melissa reclined against the headboard and said softly, “Mr. Waston will return to Heron to oversee operations next year. I'll remain in Duefron and likely take charge of the local branch company. Marcus, perhaps it's best not to intertwine business and personal affairs.” She understood that the more she gained, the more she had to sacrifice.
