But that''s not what I desire, Marcus.


    I don''t need you to survive. And I''l always remember that Mr. Waston was the one who extended a helping hand to me when I was at my lowest.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...


    Marcus gazed at her and inquired, “So, have you made your decision?” Melissa rose to her feet confidently. “Yes! I have to go for him.


    And...1 believe we''re not right for each other, Marcus” With those words, she headed for the door.


    As her hand reached for the doorknob, Marcus’ voice stopped her in her tracks.


    “Are you sure about this, Melissa?” With a firm grip on the doorknob, Melissa lifted her chin defiantly, suppressing the urge to cry. With a gentle tone, she asserted, “I''m serious, Marcus. We''re just notpatible.” She was aware of Marcus’ disappointment, and she shared the sentiment.


    If only he could understand her perspective, he wouldn''t treat her so oppressively. At times, Melissa didn''t want to let go, but then she questioned the value of continuing such a rtionship.


    With tears welling up, she dered, “I''l go get Matthew. We''ll discuss


    thister, after I return from Heron.” Ultimately, Melissa opted to depart.


    She rejected his ns and decided to return to Albert.


    Marcus remained seated on the sofa, his expression grave.


    Meanwhile, Melissa made her way to the Fowler family mansion.


    Waylen and Rena saw no reason to prevent her from retrieving Matthew.


    Later, Waylen dialed Marcus and reprimanded him, “What''s happening? You two were fine yesterday. Why does Melissa seem distressed today? She''s visibly upset. What did you do, Marcus?” Ina sour mood, Marcus fabricated an excuse and abruptly ended the call.


    No one realized the extent of his animosity toward Albert.


    If it weren''t for that man''s confession at the club, Marcus wouldn''t harbor such resentment towards Albert. But Albert''s deration about Melissa had fueled his animosity. Now, Melissa''s rush to Heron and her breakup with him seemed to also be for Albert''s sake.


    Melissa remarked that he hadn''t changed, and she was correct.


    He remained unchanged, while she had evolved.
