NovelBarChapter 2942 Alexis’ postpartum examination went without a hitch. Both she and her child were in perfect health.
When she got into the car, she saw a small bag with a broken phone inside.
Alexis looked down at her baby and cooed. In a gentle voice, she asked, “Marcus, what happened to your phone? Why were you so angry?” “I dropped it. It was an accident,” Marcus replied flatly.

However, it was pretty obvious that he didn't want to talk about it, so she quickly changed the topic. “Are you going back to Livebop soon? Why not just stay for a few more days?” Marcus gripped the steering wheel with his slender fingers.
For a while, he just stared at the rearview mirror with a faint smile. Then he answered, “There's too much going on there. I'm not going to sit through all that.” Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...
There was nothing else Alexis could say to that.
It had snowed that day, and the road was covered with ice.
Fortunately, Marcus’ driving skills were top-notch.
He changed to another road where there was less snow and the car moved along steadily. When he took a turn, his eyes caught a woman standing with her back to him at a bus stop across the street.

The woman raised her head to check the bus sign, as if thinking about which bus to take.
She had to be around seven or eight months pregnant. Why was she taking the bus alone on such a snowy day? What was her husband doing? Marcus caught himself in a rare moment of distraction, but he couldn't afford to let his thoughts wander. Alexis and Daniel were in the back seat, and he had to pay attention to the road. He looked away quickly, and the black off-road vehicle brushed past the woman.
At the same moment, she turned around.
It was Melissa.
Once again, the two missed each other.
A bus slowly rolled to a stop in front of her, and Melissa got on.
When she sat down, she saw that she had received a call from Julie, the proprietress of the small diner in Warsew where she once worked.
