Chapter 2832: Chapter 2832

He mocked her, “Great.

You two are made for each other.

Then why do you want to end things with him?”

Melissa found herself at a loss for words with Marcus.

She couldn’t confess to him that her heart belonged to someone it shouldn’t.

She could deceive Marcus, pretend to be with him, but they were so different, plus she already had a boyfriend back then.

It was too awkward for her.

Unable to find the right words, Melissa remained silent.

Marcus watched her silently.

After a while, he finished his cigarette and walked away.

In the dimly lit kitchen, the light struggled to shine through.

Melissa blinked, bowing her head as she continued to scrub the greasy plates.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, mingling with the oily water.

Late into the night, she didn’t stop washing until her fingers pruned and her back ached.

She picked up the 100-dollar bill the owner had left on the table and trudged away, exhausted.

Outside, a black car halted in front of the diner.

Marcus lounged in the driver’s seat, his arm out the window, a cigarette perched between his slender fingers.

He looked effortlessly cool.

Melissa stood silently, her gaze fixed on him in the car.

After a long pause, she approached and murmured, “I’ll repay the 800,000 dollars.

”

Marcus tapped the cigarette, ash falling away.

His brow furrowed slightly.

“You took so long to think, just to say that to me? That bracelet was actually worth nearly ten million… but forget the debt.

I retrieved the bracelet and dumped it.

We’re even now.

”

His words were harsh.

It was a first for him, especially towards a woman.

“You owe me nothing.

That night we spent together was enough payment for me.

”

Melissa’s throat tightened, making it hard to speak.

In her mind, she desperately tried to deny it.

It wasn’t like that between them.

She was the only one to blame.

Fighting back tears, she looked down and murmured, “I’ll repay the 800 thousand dollars.

You didn’t smoke much before.

It’s bad for your health.

”

Her voice dropped even lower.

“I’ve got 4@ thousand at home.

I can give you that first.
