Let's just let bygones be bygones.” Despite having said this, when she eventually went back home, she still took the gift box out and caress it carefully, because she knew that this was the last time she would ever receive anything from Albert.
After her marriage, she would be someone else's wife and would no longer be able to interact with Albert.
After Jessie left, Melissa watched some movies.
When it was dusk, she decided that she would go out for a walk.
But to her surprise, she got a call from Marcus. She had thought that after what had happened last night, Marcus wouldn't contact her for the time being, even if it was about Matthew.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter pondering for a while, she answered the call.
Immediately, she heard Marcus saying in a cold voice, “Matthew wants to go back! You can come pick him up at eight o'clock.” When Melissa heard this, she became a bit worried about her son.
She wanted to ask some questions, but Marcus hung up before she could even speak. Melissa felt really depressed. Were things so strained between she and Marcus that they couldn't even pretend to be polite to each other? A deal was a deal. She couldn't go pick up Matthew right now, no matter how worried she was.
He was in his grandparents’ house, far out of her jurisdiction, and she wasn't involved with Marcus anymore. She wouldn't do anything inappropriate, especially when her little boy was involved.
So she waited until 7 p.m. before changing into a thin red dress and a beige overcoat. Then she tied her long hair up and pinned it with a simple hairpin. This made her look mature and feminine.
Though she was going to pick up Matthew, Melissa knew that she couldn't just pay his grandparents a visit empty-handed.
So she bought some expensive tonics and fruits on her way to the Fowler family mansion.
By the time she arrived at her destination, it was 8 p.m.
Since it was holiday period, the Fowler family house was crowded.
Apart from the Fowlers, Mark and Cecilia also came with their kids to celebrate the holiday. As a result, Waylen and Rena prepared a big feast.
After Melissa drove into the front yard of the mansion, she opened the door and was about to step out when she heard some noise and then saw a black Limo.
She recognized the vehicle instantly. It was a car belonging to the Finch family.

If she was, then it was not very convenient for Melissa to go in.
Just then, a domestic staff happened to walk past, so Melissa opened the trunk and asked her to take the gifts and help deliver them on her behalf. The woman had been working for the Fowler family for many years, so she knew exactly what Melissa meant.
Since Violette was in the compound, it would be awkward if Melissa showed up right now.
So the woman nodded in understanding and helped her carry the things she had brought. Then she went to Marcus and asked him, “Mr. Fowler, Miss Brown is here to pick Matthew up. Should | take him out right now?” Marcus was in the large hall, seated on a sofa and browsing through a magazine while Matthew played by his side.
Indeed, the Finch family had come to the mansion, but it was not the way Melissa thought. In fact, they only spent half an hour in the place.
Their purpose for coming had been very obvious and it was to cotton up.
to Waylen and Rena.
“Where is she now?” Marcus asked the servant in an indifferent tone.
