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 couldmunicate her feelings to him at the moment.


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


    After this night, their rtionship 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 ce, 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 rtionship 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 vi with Melissa, always got visited by J during her days off.


    Gradually, Shawn also began to visit the vi 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 wasing because of J, hoping that he would run into her during one of his visits. But every time he came around, J simply ignored him, not to mention agreeing to get back together with him.


    In thete 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 rtionship had been repaired. So


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


    In addition, Rena was also nning 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 ne. Oh, its been long since thest time I held it, she murmured to herself.


    The ne 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 ne must be very important to them.


    With this in mind, Melissa asked cautiously, Is this ne very important to you? Rena caressed the ne 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 butter regretted it badly.


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


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