Chapter 59

In the car, the atmosphere was intense.

Quinta had the urge to bail through the window a bunch of times. This dude’s presence was freaking scary.

No clue how Jocelyn put up with him, let alone dated him and even thought about marrying him.

It would be a nightmare, for sure.

Melvin was playing it cool as ice, not a word from him, and the atmosphere in the car felt like being trapped in a balloon sucked dry of oxygen. So freaking uncomfortable.

Quinta glanced at her cousin, Jocelyn, who seemed totally unbothered.

When they hit a red light, Melvin’s phone rang.

He answered with a poker face, hooking it up to the car’s Bluetooth.

“Where are you? I’m already stitched up,” a familiar voice came through.

Jocelyn’s lips curled up a bit. She knew it! It was no coincidence; he was with Willow getting her stitches

removed.

Can’t blame them. If anyone’s to blame, it’s her for showing up at that hospital.

“Heading home,” Melvin replied, icy as ever.

“Huh? Why’d you leave? Weren’t you gonna stick with me?” Willow’s voice had that whiny charm.

Jocelyn raised an eyebrow, gazing out the window. Seriously, she would be better off under a car than in this

one.

Quinta was holding her breath, feeling super awkward.

“Get home on your own. Bye.”

No chance for a reply, he just hung up.

Green light, and the car took off.

That beast of a car sped up fast, leaving all the other cars in the dust. In no time, they reached the neighborhood where Jocelyn’s parents lived.
