Chapter 2961: Chapter 2961

Melissa, I’ve been thinking.

I want to start a mobile breakfast cart instead of a real diner.

I might not make much that way, but my hours would be flexible.

Matt is still young and needs someone to take care of him.

”

Melissa sipped her soup thoughtfully.

She looked at Julie for a while and said softly, “That sounds like a lot of work for you, taking care of Matt and running a business.

Let’s wait a couple more years.

When he starts primary school, I’ll be able to save up enough to open a proper diner for you.

”

Julie was unafraid of putting in hard work.

But Melissa didn’t want Julie to endure unnecessary hardships.

Recognizing Julie’s contributions and support, Melissa wished for Julie to lead a joyful and fulfilling life.

Since Melissa insisted, Julie decided to broach the topic another time.

After a quiet dinner, Melissa gave Matthew a bath.

The night settled in peacefully.

Julie lovingly tucked Matthew in.

Melissa said behind Julie in a low voice, “I met him today.

”

Julie’s hand gently patting Matthew froze for a second.

After a while, she looked back and motioned for Melissa to step outside to speak privately by raising her chin.

She brewed a cup of fruit tea for Melissa, providing warmth both physically and emotionally.

“What happened?” Julie asked gently after they settled in.

Melissa recounted the events of the day, and Julie listened intently.

After a moment of silence, Julie reached out, holding Melissa’s as if she had been her daughter.

“What are you gonna do now? You have a son, and I believe Mr.

Fowler has feelings for you.

If you want…”

“I don’t want to,” Melissa interjected lightly and indifferently.

“I’m not suited for Marcus.

His girlfriend comes from a good background.

Both their families would be pleased with their union.

Besides, Marcus doesn’t know about Matthew.

Since I didn’t tell him before, it’s still unnecessary now.

I can raise my child well without him.

”

Julie nodded in agreement.

“It’s good that you’ve thought this through.

We’re capable of providing for ourselves.

We’re not afraid of being unable to raise the child.

”

“Thank you, Julie,” Melissa expressed gratitude gently.

Julie playfully tapped Melissa’s head.

“Don’t thank me, silly girl.
