Poor Minnie was fast asleep, snuggled tightly by her little owner.
Kiana muttered, âMinnie, youâre ours forever.
â
Melissa and Marcus exchanged a knowing look.
Marcus let out a resigned sigh.
This little girl might look like him, but her personality was a mix of his sister Elva and his aunt, Chapter 726 Long Time No See (Part Two)
Melissa whispered, âIâll put her down for a nap.
Sheâs been up all day.
â
Marcus nodded.
He craved a cigarette.
âYou handle her nap.
Iâll grab a cig and head to the office.
â
Melissa gave his chin a gentle ki*s.
âCome back early when youâre done.
â
With nobody around, Marcusâ voice turned husky.
âWasnât I good enough last night?â
He leaned in closer, whispering something suggestive in her ear.
âIâll make it up to you tonight then!â
Melissa didnât flinch.
To her, it was just a normal exchange between partners.
She straightened his shirt.
âBe back soon.
â
Marcusâ gaze lingered on her for a moment.
Melissa went to settle Kiana.
The little one agreed to sleep but insisted on snuggling Minnie first.
Melissa found it amusing but relented.
As Melissa and Kiana headed upstairs, Marcus fetched a cigarette, lighting it with a sigh.
He had smoked a lot years back.
With Kiana around now, heâd cut down.
But sometimes, the craving won.
Exhaling a wisp of smoke, he glanced at the second floor.
Thinking of his family, Marcus chuckled softly, stubbing out the cigarette.
He hopped into his sleek black car and sped off.
Melissa, mot having slept well for days, woke up late in the afternoon at six thirty.
She jolted awake, finding herself alone.
