Chapter 2977 It gave him a raging headache every time! After Albert's departure, Melissa showered and changed. Working late was not unusual for her, justified by her salary.

She didn’t wrap up until eleven that night.

Stepping outside to hail a cab, Melissa pondered the practicality of buying her own car, especially for outings with her son.

She reached home close to midnight, paid the taxi, and vanished into the corridor under the moon's glow, unaware a white Bentley had trailed her all the way.

‘When night fell, the moon shone with a coldness reminiscent of water.

Marcus quietly watched Melissa as she ascended the stairs.

He gazed over the surroundings and noted that it was decent. Despite the absence of elevators in the villa area, it boasted a charm of its own.

Marcus leaned on his car and smoked half a cigarette before deciding to head upstairs to have a look.

Just then, he heard a gentle voice. “Marcus, were you and her once close?” (Eagles) Marcus’ brow creased slightly.

He glanced over and noticed Violette not too far away.

She wore a blouse and wool skirt, seemingly indifferent to the cold weather. Shivering, she pressed Marcus for answers. In Marcus's perspective, Violette didn't hold a significant place in his life.

Despite the appearance of their relationship, he had yet to show her any gesture of affection, such as ki*ses or hugs.

Her mother had advised her that being with a man as powerful as Marcus required overlooking certain things now and then, or else their marriage wouldn't stand the test of time.

But Violette felt that without a straightforward response from Marcus, their relationship had no real future to begin with.

While Violette was absorbed in her thoughts, Marcus shot her an indifferent gaze. He understood exactly what was going through her mind.

Meanwhile, he mused over the possibility that if Melissa hadn't returned, he and Violette might have ended up married. But such a union would lack genuine happiness for both of them.

But Melissa had indeed returned.

Despite his feelings of animosity towards her, he also knew that he still loved her.

Soon after, Marcus came to a decision. He opened the back door of the car and instructed Violette to enter.
