The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 106

They stood locked in a tense stalemate outside the apartment building, neither willing to let go.

Seeing the unwavering determination in Jocelyn’s eyes, Melvin felt a surge of anger that made his recent wound throb with pain.

Melvin’s grip on Jocelyn tightened as he ended the call and put away his phone, then gently lifted her chin to look at the tear that had made its way to her cheek, his eyes narrowing, “Feeling that hard done by?”

Jocelyn bit her lip, her entire body trembling, “What do you even want?”

Her voice shook.

“You know what I want,” Melvin brushed away the tear from her cheek with the pad of his thumb, a tightness in his chest at the sight of
