For one, she no longer wanted to have any connection with Marcus.
Secondly, his beloved woman was by his side, while she was alone and pregnant his child.
This was a very awkward and unbearable situation for her.
It had been over half a year since they last saw each other, and now, Marcus eventually chose a girl from a background that matched his.
Certainly, Jessie must be that new girlfriend of Marcusâ that Ryan had talked about!
Before Albert could get down from the car, Melissa quickly stopped him.
She immediately made up a rather clumsy excuse.
âI had some disagreements with him at work back then and we didnât part on friendly terms.
I really donât think itâs a good idea, Mr.
Waston.
â
Albert nodded in understanding.
Then he said with a smile, âSince you had an unpleasant experience with him, I guess you donât have to meet him.
Iâll just go over and say hello to him alone.
â
Melissa breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
The driver, when he heard what Albert said, quickly stepped out of the car and hurried over to open the rear door for him.
Albert was the president of Waston Group in Heron.
Even though he was over 40, he still maintained his physical charm.
After all, he had a face and figure that belied his age.
Meanwhile, Marcus was focused on handling his Luggage.
At some point, he turned and said to Jessie, who was standing very close to him, âIsnât this inappropriate? Why not keep a bit of distance?â
But Jessie said with a pout like a spoiled child, âI told my family I have a boyfriend, but they didnât believe me, and they even decided to send someone to follow me.
If not for Jamesâ sake, at least
considering the time you behaved like a jerk, you should really help me with this.
â
âI donât think thatâs a good reason why I should help you,â Marcus grumbled in displeasure and quickly removed her hand which she had placed on his arm, but Jessie drew closer to him again, acting nice and sweet.
âMarcus, what a coincidence!â Albert suddenly called out, which startled the couple.
Marcus quickly looked up and his eyes widened in surprise.
âUncle Albert, why are you in Duefron?â he asked.
It was a well-known fact in both Heron and Duefron that Albert admired Marcusâ mother, Rena.
Albert himself also never made any effort to conceal this affection.
Whenever Rena was celebrating her birthday and even on Valentineâs Day, he would send her expensive gifts.
Even though Rena would usually refuse to accept them, he always insisted that she did.
This had been going on for about twenty years now.
At the beginning, Waylen usually felt displeased with it.
But over time, he became indifferent and began to consider it as Albertâs contribution to the Fowler family since he couldnât stop it.
When Marcus first heard this story, he was left speechless.
But he had no choice but to admit to himself that Albert was not only a quite impressive businessman, but also an affectionate romantic.
âGirlfriend?â Albert asked with a smile, referring to Jessie who was still hanging on Marcusâ arm.
âCare to introduce us?â
