The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 97

On the drive back with Hamson, the car stereo played the latest hit, “Possibility.”

The lyrics were: [All the possibilities, the hopes that never came to pass. They were thoughts, and they were regrets.]

Jocelyn confessed, “I can’t lie to you. He still has a place in my heart.”

Hamison was not surprised. He even understood. “Yeah, I know.”

“You’re okay with that?”

“It would be a lie to say I don’t mind. But what I mind more is you rejecting me because of him. I hope you can give me a chance and yourself one, too.” Harrison was calm and sincere.

His words were solid, honest.

Jocelyn clenched her fists tighter. “If you really don’t mind, then we can give it a shot.”

A wave of elation surged through Harrison, and he immediately pulled the car over. “Are you serious?”

Jocelyn was still uncertain, but the words were out, and seeing Harrison’s joyous reaction, she nodded vigorously. “Yeah.”

Harrison’s smile brightened, his lips pressed in an effort to contain it, and his eyes crinkled with glee.

He resumed driving, and the music shifted to “Little Sweet.”

Jocelyn never expected Harrison to listen to such sugary tunes, especially at this moment.

His mood was infectious, painting her own in shades of pink.

They dined at Bliss Restaurant, where Harrison had initially planned to hold Jocelyn’s hand to please his parents but feared pressuring her and refrained.

Harrison’s parents sensed a shift in their son’s demeanor during the meal, a different aura between the two.

However, being wise, they kept their notions to themselves, asking no questions.

After dinner, Harrison drove Jocelyn back to her hotel.

As the car stopped, she stepped out.

Harrison followed.

Standing at the hotel entrance, he asked, “So, you’re my girlfriend now, right?”
