Chapter 3317 As soon as they snuggled in bed, Albert rang.
Marcus declined his call three times.
Finally, unable to ignore it any longer, Marcus picked up, grumbling to Melissa, "I take back what I said! That old geezer just won't stop unless he's making trouble for everyone!" On the other end, Albert's voice was frosty.
"Marcus, I'm only forty! I'm not ancient!" Marcus chuckled.
"Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWaston, you're aware you're forty too, right? Then you should be old enough to know it's not cool to ring someone up in the dead of night! It's late, what's on your mind?" Albert hesitated before querying, "Is Jessie heading overseas? Did she spill the beans about where she's headed? How Long's she planning to be away?" With a faint smirk, Marcus replied, "Mr.
Waston, shouldn't you be snuggled up next to your missus and kid? Why you so curious about a gal you've left high and dry? Who are you to be asking these questions anyway?" There was a prolonged silence on the phone.
Finally, Albert let out a bitter smile.
"You're correct.
I'm no longer qualified to ask these things.
" Marcus gazed thoughtfully at the phone after ending the call.
Melissa couldn't resist speaking softly.
"He must be hurt by what you said.
Placing the phone on the bedside table, Marcus leaned against the bed and gazed down at her.
"Do you feel sorry for him?" Melissa rolled over and scoffed.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Marcus leaned closer, a faint smile playing on his lips as he whispered in her ear, "You truly have no idea what I'm referring to? I'm jealous, Mrs.
Fowler!" Melissa pouted, "Why must you be so narrow-minded?"

Melissa turned towards Marcus, pressing her face against his neck as she murmured, "That was ages ago. I'm amazed you still recall.
" Marcus gently stroked her hair.
Melissa's slender frmade it easy for him to pull her into his embrace.
He savored holding her like this.
The discussion about Albert was quickly forgotten in the warmth of their embrace. As Melissa remarked, it was all in the past.
What truly mattered was that Marcus and she were together now.
The following morning, Melissa prepared to head to work as usual after breakfast.
