He said softly, “Daddy had to meet clients, and we drank wine while talking” Resting against him, Matthew pondered for a moment before asking, “Will there ever be a beautifuldy sitting on yourp like I see on TV?" Marcus frowned, retorting, “What kind of TV shows have you been watching?” Coincidentally, Melissa woke up just then, overhearing their ‘conversation.
Matthew was pleased by the response, yet soon after, he pouted. “I forgot you have a girlfriend.” Marcus fell silent.
Matthew buried his face against his father''s neck, murmuring softly, “Mom said I don''t have to call your girlfriend ‘mom’! So when Mom finds a boyfriend, I won''t have to call him ‘dad either.” He disyed remarkable consideration and open-mindedness.
However, Marcus cast a meaningful nce at Melissa and remarked casually, “Oh, does your mom have a boyfriend?” Matthew sighed. “There will be. She''s so beautiful. Julie said Mom has to get smarter and she can''t live as if she were a widow. Dad, what does that mean?” Melissa couldn''t bear to listen any longer.

She murmured, “Julie was talking nonsense.” Marcus fixed her with a prating gaze before scoffing, “If you''re feeling lonely and need some fort; I''m avable to help!” “No, thank you!” Melissa retorted coldly.
“What help, Dad?” Matthew snuggled against his father.
How could Marcus really answer that question? Fortunately, the nurse arrived to take Matthew''s temperature. However,
he clung to his father like a ko, reluctant to leave. As the nurse approached Marcus to take Matthew''s temperature, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Melissa took the chance to freshen up, washing her face and brushing her teeth.
As she freshened up, Marcus entered and quietly closed the door behind him.
Catching his reflection in the mirror, she whispered, “What are you doing?” Marcus and she locked eyes through the mirror.
After a moment, he asked softly, “Are you nning to find a boyfriend?” At the thought of their breakup and Violette, Melissa remained silent.
