Chapter 105

How much longer did she plan on touching him?

She was not touching him!

Jocelyn’s cheeks flamed as she withdrew her hand, her knee still awkwardly caught between his Their current position was definitely not child-friendly.

If it were not for his endless antics, would it really have come to this?

Luckily, he seemed to have some sense of dignity because he finally shifted his legs aside, giving her room to scoot back into her seat. The plane had leveled out by now.

Jocelyn sat ngidly in her seat, wishing for an escape hatch she could jump through if it existed

She could not move, haunted by the lingering sensation on her palm, until she finally caved and asked the flight attendant for a wet

wipe.

She had nailed herself to her seat, not wanting to leave it till the flight ended.

Once she had the wet wipe, she scrubbed at her hand like it was a grimy countertop.

Melvin watched the whole ordeal, his eyes icing over with each wipe she took.

Was she repulsed by him?

It was not like she had not touched him there before. Why the disgust now?

His expression darkened, but Jocelyn could not care less; she did not even glance his way.

Somehow, they made it to landing.

Jocelyn did not budge until Melvin had left his seat.

However, he seemed content to wait, likely preferring not to shuffle out with the rest of the crowd, sitting still as stone.

When he finally stood, Jocelyn followed suit, trailing behind him out of the plane.

As soon as they hit the terminal, she quickened her pace, eager to put distance between them.

She claimed her luggage just as Harrison’s call came through. She had not expected him to be so punctual, having planned to message

him from the car.

“Yeah just landed Got my luggage, heading out now,” Jocelyn said, dragging her suitcase and looking towards the exit.
