Does it sting? Melissa inquired.
Jessie clenched her lips. Yes, it hurts. I didnt dare retaliate. If I had made her miscarry, I couldnt handle the blame.
Melissa hesitated, but then disclosed, They had a spat earlier, and Mr. Waston laid his hands on her.
Melissa didnt say anything more to console Jessie.
After a pause, Jessie lifted her gaze to Melissa and said softly, Truth is, whether theyre on good terms or not doesnt concern me anymore. No matter how rocky it gets, theyre legally married with a kid, while I have got nothing.
As Jessie spoke, she felt a pang of insignificance.
She went on, Its all in the past. I need to steer clear of Albert.
Melissa I know hes helped me a bunch these past months. Alberts the one who roped in Marcus to invest, right? I owe him but this time Im cutting ties. After all, Alberts the one who let me down first.
With a gentle smile, Melissa said, Fair enough. Mr. Waston wont hold it against you.
Jessie flared up instantly. Youre always taking his side.
However, Melissa didnt argue. She just stayed patient with Jessie.

The place was all lit up and Marcus Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked in the lot, indicating he was back.
Melissa lingered in the car for a moment.
The villa door swung open. Out came Matthew, followed by Yvonne.
Matthew wasnt exactly steady on his feet and took a tumble on the lawn. Yvonne hurried over, scooping him up and patting his backside.
Matthew clung to her, playing the spoiled little brother.
Melissas heart melted at the sight. She stepped out of the car and approached.
Matthews rear end was probably still sore but, when he caught sight of his mom, he stumbled over, craving her embrace.
He threw himself into Melissas arms.
