Chapter 2869 Marcus drew her close, seating her on his Lap. Extracting a cigarette from the table, he refrained from lighting it, cradling her in his embrace before remarking, “Ten oclock. You can steal a bit more sleep.” A surreal sensation enveloped Melissa.


    In a matter of hours, she would depart from this ce, heading back to Duefron. A realm of unfamiliarity awaited her, and truth be told, a twinge of fear gripped her. Navigating the role of a wealthy family’s daughter-inw was never a cakewalk for Melissa.


    Despite the amiable nature of the Fowler family, Melissa couldn''t confine herself to their homely confines.


    She found herself obliged to go out with Marcus to attend social engagements, She wished to avoid causing him any embarrassment.


    Simplicity and innocence adorned Melissa''s demeanor, her emotionsid bare. Smirking gently, Marcus uttered, “We''ll tackle that discussionter. For now, it''s bedtime.” Clutching his sleeve, Melissa asserted, “I''ve got to pack. My ID card is still at the rented ce. We also need to wrap up the lease.” Marcus pondered briefly and nodded in agreement.


    “I''l arrange for a car to send you there tomorrow,” Marcus informed, with an early morning meeting on his agenda.


    “No need, I''ve got it covered.” She nted a ki*s on his chin, exuding a hint of reliance. Much like a puppy eager to please its master, she added, “It''s not far. I can grab a taxi on my own.” Uttering those words, her face tinged with a blush, she rose and made her way to the cloakroom, eager to assist in packing his belongings.

    A smile graced Marcus’ face. The suite spanned 700 square meters. How could possibly be disrupted by her presence? As the night grewte, Marcus toiled away on his work until three oclock in the morning.


    Stretching, he noticed that Melissa was still upied with her tasks.

    A faint blush adorned Melissa''s cheeks.


    In a hushed tone, she divulged, “I''veundered and dried the clothes you''ve worn. When you return, you can stow them directly in the wardrobe. There is no need to send them to the cleaners anymore.” Marcus cast a nce at the neatly pressed garments.


    The shirts, meticulously pressed, exuded a pristine appearance.


    A tender sentiment washed over him. Caressing her head, he said softly, “I didn''t marry you to turn you into a housekeeper. In time, we''ll have servants to handle these tasks. There''s no need for you tobor over them yourself.”
