As Melissa approached, he sat properly, inviting her to sit on his lap.

As she perched on his lap, Marcus caressed her cheek. Rare to see you being so obedient. So, whats the reward for my good girl? he whispered.

But Melissa switched gears abruptly. I heard Shawn landed a gig at Fowler Group as a truck driver? Marcus pinched her chin, planting a passionate kis.

He did this in order to punish her for destroying the moment of course.

After a moment, he nuzzled her and said softly, He came to me, repenting his mistakes. I gave him a job for your sake. Whats wrong with that? Melissa mumbled, It feels like youre obsessing over it too much.

Thats not your style.

Marcus breath grew shallow as he whispered in Melissas ear, I did it for you. That guy got Lucky! Marcus had just returned from a business trip the night before.

Matthew had greeted him with such enthusiasm, clinging to him tightly all night.

Now both kids were fast asleep.

And Marcus wasnt about to pass up the chance to spend time with Melissa.

With her in his arms, he rose, locking the study door. They were about to get cozy on the sofa.

But the bright light made Melissa feel uneasy about making love there.

She whispered, Lets head to your room.

Impatiently, Marcus sucked her red lips. No, I want to do it here! Now focus

Whenever Melissa was distracted or nervous, Marcus had a knack for easing her tension.

Soon, they were both lost in desire.

Melissa struggled to contain herself.

As they neared climax, Marcus hot breath tickled her neck.

Trembling, he asked, Do you still love me, Melissa? After asking the question, Marcus stared at Melissas dreamy face, waiting for what she had to say.

Butin his heart, he knew that if she didnt love him, she wouldnt act in such a devoted manner whenever they made love.

After what seemed like a long time, Melissa finally came to her senses.

She nuzzled Marcus neck as if she was flirting with him. But instead of answering the question directly, she asked in a flirty tone, How about you? Do you still love me? Surprised by how she had turned the tables, Marcus looked into her eyes with an intense gaze filled with lust.

Melissa didnt want to admit her feelings straightforwardly. After all, she was a woman and she felt quite shy. She threw her arms around his neck and kised him the way he liked, which was the best way she could communicate her feelings to him at the moment.

There were no words needed. Marcus could see the affection in her eyes.

After this night, their relationship took a huge leap.

Whether it was a private dinner or an event organized for business purposes, Marcus always took Melissa with him as long as she was

free. At the venue, he would proudly introduce her to other attendees, and sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would discuss about his work with her. But most of the time, whenever they were alone or in a secluded place, they would make out. In such cases, Marcus was always reluctant to let Melissa go.

Melissa felt that Marcus indulged his sxual urges way too much.

But still, he attached great importance to her and respected her a lot. Hence, they got along very well. Sometimes, whenever Melissa thought about the relationship between them, she couldnt help but feel like she was dreaming. It seemed almost too good to be true.

Meanwhile, Yvonne, since she stayed in the villa with Melissa, always got visited by Janet during her days off.

Gradually, Shawn also began to visit the villa frequently. Whenever he was around, he would bring bags of fruits or some other item.

But Yvonne never seemed to be excited whenever she saw her father.

Still, Shawn always wore a smile on his face. Melissa knew that he was coming because of Janet, hoping that he would run into her during one of his visits. But every time he came around, Janet simply ignored him, not to mention agreeing to get back together with him.

In the late summer, Marcus visited his parents with Melissa and Matthew.

Even though they had not made any effort to make it public, Waylen and Rena could see that their relationship had been repaired. So

they gifted Melissa two villas along with two luxurious apartments in the downtown area.

In addition, Rena was also planning to gift Melissa some jewelry.

Taking her up to the master bedroom which was on the second floor, Rena opened a safe. The first thing she picked up was the box containing an emerald necklace. Oh, its been long since the last time I held it, she murmured to herself.

The necklace looked really exquisite. But when Melissa took a closer look at it, she found that the piece seemed to have been broken before.

Yet, the Fowlers still kept it in their safe. Clearly, this necklace must be very important to them.

With this in mind, Melissa asked cautiously, Is this necklace very important to you? Rena caressed the necklace affectionately for a moment before putting it back in the safe. Yes, its from an old friend of mine, she replied as she searched for an appropriate jewelry for Melissa. He he was gone a long time ago.

Melissa worked for Albert, so naturally shed heard some things about Renas past. From what shed heard, she guessed that friend Rena was talking about was Harold Moore, the man who had once failed Rena but later regretted it badly.

He must be in a better place now, Melissa said Lightly.

But Rena was thinking about the dream she had the other night.

Well, she said with a smile, thats all history now.

As she spoke, she pulled out a few sets of exquisite jewelry. The emerald pieces might not fit someone your age, she said to Melissa, S01 guess you would prefer these ones instead. In fact, Marcus has been collecting a lot of them over the years. Even though he hasnt said anything, I know he must be preparing them for you. You can ask him later when you two are alone.

When Melissa heard this, her face turned red in embarrassment.

How could she ask Marcus about such a thing? After they had chatted for some time, Rena decided to show Melissa some old photos of Marcus. Also, she gave Melissa a brief introduction about other kids in the family, including Alexis and Edwin, while showing her some old pictures of them.

Edwin didnt know Uncle Mark was his father when he was little, she narrated excitedly. So for many years, he just called him Great- uncle.

Melissa smiled faintly when she heard this.

She couldnt help but feel envious of the kids on the photos. If only she was as happy as them when she was a child.

Even though Melissa didnt say this out loud, Rena seemed to have read her mind.

She patted the back of Melissas hand and said with a smile, There are many kids around now and the house is very lively. If you like, You can move in with Marcus when you two get married. In fact, Marcus has always wanted to have a baby girl.

This statement from Rena immediately reminded Melissa of the fact that Marcus no longer wore condoms whenever they had sx these days.
