Chapter 3277: Chapter 3278

When it was over, she leaned against his shoulder, avoiding his gaze, the air thick with tension.

Yet Marcus teased her.

“Mrs.

Fowler, we’re a couple now.

Why are you still so shy about getting intimate with me?”

It was normal for newlyweds to act on impulse.

So Marcus whisked Melissa away to their apartment, spending the whole morning lost in each other’s embrace.

Caught up in Marcus’ passion, Melissa couldn’t resist his bedroom prowess, When Melissa finally snapped out of it, the clock showed three in the afternoon.

Her phone jolted her awake.

It was Albert, asking her to pick someone up at the airport.

After the call, Melissa felt dazed for a moment.

She groaned inwardly.

The person she was fetching was Paulina Waston, Albert’s father’s legal wife.

Albert had probably chosen Melissa for this mission for a reason.

It’d be awkward for him to show up himself; but as his right-hand woman as well as the acting CEO of the Waston Group’s Duefron branch, Melissa was the perfect fit.

Melissa braced herself, knowing Paulina probably wasn’t coming with good intentions.

With a sigh, she got up and headed to the shower.

Gazing at the marks on her skin in the mirror, she muttered, “Damn it, Marcus!”

As she finished showering, a towel-wrapped figure enveloped her.

Marcus hugged her from behind, nuzzling her neck as he asked, “Why are you up so early?”

As Melissa dried off, Marcus playfully teased her.

Turning around, she wrapped her arms around him.

“I’ve got a pick-up at the airport.

Work stuff, you know.

”

Marcus snickered.

“Is this Albert’s bright idea, huh? Seriously, His family mess shouldn’t be your problem.

”

Melissa leaned in, planting a ki*s on Marcus’ chin.

Was she trying to appease him, perhaps?

Marcus relented.

“Alright, alright.

But let’s grab a bite first.

Then I’ll chauffeur you to the airport!”

Melissa couldn’t believe Marcus was actually willing to compromise.

Marcus grinned.

“Now that we’re married, how can I still be tough on you?) I’m turning over a new leaf -— I’ll be more chill and considerate!”
