Chapter 3116: Chapter 3116

With Julie looking after Matthew, it eased much of Melissa’s workload.

She had intended to go to the company that day but had to postpone it until tomorrow.

She spent the morning reviewing documents and was occupied with the latest financing for Watson Group.

In the afternoon, some good news finally arrived.

Alan had taken an interest in their project and was considering investing in it.

Therefore, Melissa wanted to arrange a meeting with him.

Her secretary was efficient, promptly scheduling a meeting with him for Melissa.

However, it was scheduled for an auction in two days rather than a private meeting.

Melissa understood that suc

meetings were the most challenging.

She had to consider the perfect gift to give Alan.

However, beyond the gift, the most crucial aspect was establishing a good rapport with him.

Alan was testing her abilities.

After ending the call, Melissa found herself in a lighter mood.

When she glanced over, she spotted Matthew standing next to the suitcase, dressed neatly and clutching a stuffed toy-his favorite teddy bear.

Blinking, he asked, “Will Dad come to pick me up?”

She crouched down to his eye level.

She tenderly ruffled his hair, replying, “He’s working.

He might not be able to come today.

”

He pouted, saying, “But you have to work too.

Yet you always stay with me.

”

Smiling, she responded, “Aren’t you glad I’m here with you? How about this? When I’m busy, I’ll have Daddy keep you company, okay?”

Matthew reluctantly agreed.

Children were usually forgetful.

When he climbed into Shawn’s car, he had already forgotten the recent unpleasantness, exploring the interior curiously.

Shawn winked at him.

“My car is pretty cool, huh?

While it’s not as fancy as a limo, it can fit seven people.

Perfect for us.

”

Julie was also pleased.

However, she feigned annoyance.

“Watch your words.

When you meet Matthew’s father in the future, keep your mouth shut.

”

Shawn grinned.

“Melissa is stunning.

She shouldn’t sacrifice her dignity for any man, right? Mom, don’t fret.

If he truly cares about Melissa, he can handle criticism.

And what I said is true.

”

Melissa muttered, “I’m done with him.

”

Matthew said sadly, “My dad has a girlfriend.

”

Shawn scratched his head, adding, “His loss, right?”

Just as Melissa was about to speak, her phone rang.

It was Marcus calling.
