Chapter 9

“Why would I be angry? Jocelyn shrugged off his hand and turned to face him, “I already know everything he said.”

Melvin frowned, “Know what?”

“Our inability to part ways has nothing to do with love. So, I’m not angry.”

Jocelyn truly wasn’t angry. Instead of feeling angry, it was more like she could see things more clearly now.

“Who knows, maybe you’ll be the one wanting to get hitched first,” Jocelyn said teasingly, her eyes brimming with spring and her face as lovely as a peach blossom.

Melvin really had a thing for her seductive charm, always able to snag his soul.
