Chapter 3246: Chapter 3246

Gently stroking her black hair, he replied in a hoarse voice, “I prefer something practical, you know.

”

Melissa bit her lip and said in a hesitant tone, “But you just said…”

“Well, you really want to have a baby with me, don’t you?” Marcus said teasingly.

With his hand still wrapped around her waist, he lit another cigarette with his other hand and began to puff on it.

But Melissa seemed uneasy.

“Stay with me for a while,” he whispered.

In her heart, Melissa felt that there was something strange about Marcus.

But she just couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

In response, Marcus lowered his head and ki*sed her gently before saying, “If you don’t want to see him, then just forget about it.

No pressure.

You don’t need to be scared of them.

”

When Melissa heard this, she lay quietly in his arms.

Even though she had built up a successful career for herself, she still couldn’t get rid of her past.

Marcus was the only one powerful enough to suppress the Smith family.

In the beginning, Melissa only had a crush on him.

But since they’d been getting along with each other over the past couple days, she felt safe and secure in his presence.

“I’ll give you anything you want,” she promised in a low tone.

Marcus grinned in satisfaction when he heard this.

He didn’t say a word, but he kept looking at her from time to time.

If not for her now mature features, he would have thought that they had returned to the old days.

Those days were the best time of his life.

Not that the current period was bad, but it was certainly different.

With one hand on Melissa’s waist the entire time, Marcus finished his cigarette in the dark.

It

was rare for him to crave cigarettes Like this.

Just as he was about to Light another one, Melissa stopped him.

She put the cigarette back into the box and said, “That’s enough for today.

It would be better if you could reduce your smoking in the future.

”

Marcus looked at her affectionately when she said this.

The two of them were acting so intimately that the domestic staff didn’t dare come over to interrupt them.

But eventually, Elsie ventured, “I know we shouldn’t have let Mr.

Smith in, but it’s not easy to stop someone like him.

”

“Just don’t let him in next time,” Marcus replied dismissively.

“He really annoyed me today.

”

“Okay, sir.

Elsie nodded obediently and hurried off to prepare dinner.

Being in a good mood, Marcus asked for a bottle of red wine to be served during dinner.

As they ate, his phone rang several times, but he didn’t answer it.

“Answer it if you have something important to deal with,” Melissa admonished.

“It’s James,” Marcus told her.

“He wants me to go out for a drink.
