Chapter 104

Jocelyn’s heart, wound tight as a drum all day, finally eased as she smiled at him, a genuine, carefree grin “Okay.”

She said she had nothing with that man, so why did she start dating him so soon after they broke up?

She probably chose to come to Berry City for a business trip because of that man!

The more Melvin thought about it, the harder it was to swallow his anger. He made his way to the airport service desk.
