But Melissa didnât say anything in response.
Seeing the expression on her face, Marcus decided to change the topic.
âThose servants in the villa used to work at my parentsâ place, so you donât need to worry.
Theyâll take good care of you and Matthew.
â
Melissa whispered her thanks.
In her heart, she was very grateful to the Fowler family.
But Marcus responded with just a dismissive snort.
After this, they didnât exchange any other word.
Eventually, they arrived at Marcusâ villa, and Melissa and Matthew moved in.
The villa had three floors.
There were two large bedrooms on the east side of the second floor.
Melissa and Matthew had to stay in one room while Marcus occupied another alone, so Matthew would be able to spend the night with his father at any time.
Now that they were at the villa, Melissa began to sort out her things and that of her son.
Children usually grew fast, so their clothes were required to be replaced regularly.
As a result, Matthew didnât have many too clothes.
Before long, Melissa had unpacked everything for her son.
But as she opened the closet to put in her clothes, she was stunned at what she saw.
She saw Marcusâ clothes hanging in the closet.
Obviously, this room used to be his bedroom.
So she shut the door quietly and opened another one in which she put her clothes.
But Marcus had already gotten clothes for her and they were neatly arranged in the wardrobe.
At this point, she suddenly heard Matthewâs cheerful voice downstairs.
She felt somehow relieved to hear him sounding so happy.
But all of a sudden, someone with a familiar scent grabbed her from behind.
It was Marcus.
With his lips on her neck, he asked her in a low voice, âSince you donât want to marry me, does it also mean that you donât want me to touch you?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Melissa asked in surprise, thinking that she had heard him wrongly.
But to her surprise, Marcus repeated his statement.
âIf you agree,â he added in a whisper, âIâll go get the condoms.
But if you donât want to have s@x with me, I wonât force you.
But I know you want me.
Just say it.
â
âStop.
Leave me alone,â Melissa scolded him even though her face was red and her heart was pounding.
Marcus had only been teasing her.
Since she had rejected his advances, he let her go.
But the moment he took his hands off her, Melissaâs legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Marcus had planned to let her go.
But seeing her current situation, he felt the urge to hold her.
Frankly, he was still quite mad at Melissa, but at the same time, he also longed for her.
