He then brought out an agreement from his coat pocket and placed it gently in front of her. Melissa glanced at the document and discovered it was an arrangement for Matthew. It was straightforward and outlined a monthly allowance of two hundred thousand dollars to cover the boy's daily expenses, along with a separate fund for Matthew's education. Essentially, Marcus ensured that Matthew would have a comfortable life. Marcus also retained the right to visit Matthew whenever he wished.

Melissa felt a wave of relief wash over her after she reviewed the agreement. Deep down, she believed it was indeed beneficial for Matthew.

Marcus took a few sips of coffee and offered her a pen. "It looks like you're in agreement. If there's nothing else to discuss, why don't we sign the agreement? Once that's done, everything will be settled. From now on, we'll have no further involvement with each other."

His tone carried a hint of condescension.

Determined, Melissa agreed to sign the agreement. She didn't want it to look like she was too hesitant to sever ties with him.
