She Took The House The Car And My Heart

Chapter 1385:

“Because you deserve to be happy.”

Melvin meant every word. He wasn’t someone who asked for much out of life. All he really wanted was for Freya and her family to be safe, to live in peace. And for Jessica—a girl so sincere and warm—he hoped she would find someone who truly made her happy.

“Before you start giving me life advice, maybe take a good look at yourself,” Jessica said in her usual breezy tone. “You’re over thirty and haven’t even dated once. If people found out, they’d think something’s seriously wrong with you.”

“I don’t care what they think,” Melvin replied, calm as always.

“Well, I care,” Jessica said without hesitation.

He went still.

She continued naturally, her voice steady and sincere. “You’re a genuinely good person. I’d hate it if anyone said something awful about you.”

Melvin didn’t say anything. He didn’t know how to respond. But deep down, he quietly made a decision—he needed to find someone truly decent for her.
