Chapter 52

On the way back, Jocelyn felt a bit bloated in the chest and kept throwing glances at Melvin.

Melvin touched his face, “Is there something on my face?”

“Can’t tell how thick your skin is,” Jocelyn fumed.

“If I had spent the whole night at the hospital, you gonna tell me you wouldn’t have any thoughts about it?” Melvin was cocky.

Jocelyn snorted, “Not really.”

“Seems like all you’ve got left is a tough mouth.”

“By saying that, Willow’s gonna see me as the enemy, right?” Jocelyn glared at him. “A woman’s jealousy is scary stuff. You trying to get me killed?”

Melvin raised an eyebrow, “It’s precisely because of that jealousy that I called you to come get me, so you can take me away yourself.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

“Am I not just stating the facts?” Melvin challenged her. “Spending a night in the same room with her, you’re really not gonna be jealous?”

Jocelyn turned her head away, “Nope.”

“A teacher shouldn’t be saying one thing and thinking another. Lying’s not a good trait.” At a red light, Melvin stopped the car and reached for Jocelyn’s chest.

Jocelyn jumped, “What are you doing?”

Melvin deadpanned, “Just checking if your heart rate goes up when you lie.”

Jocelyn was speechless.

“Let me tell you, if Willow takes out the anger from what you said today on me, I’m holding you responsible!” Jocelyn warned him.

Melvin coolly replied, “She won’t do anything to you.”

“That’s underestimating a woman’s jealousy,” Jocelyn glanced at the man seemingly unaware that he was the spark. “If she didn’t care about you, it might be no big deal. But obviously, she does care.”

Melvin stayed silent.
