The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 120

Jocelyn’s expression twisted into a complex grimace the moment Harrison suggested driving her back home.

The car came to a halt. Harrison stepped out first, then reached back in to help Jocelyn out.

As Jocelyn’s feet touched the ground, she saw Melvin stepping out of the apartment building. And in that very instant, Harrison scooped her into his arms.

Caught off guard, Jocelyn’s hands instinctively wrapped around Harrison’s neck, her eyes slightly wide as she looked up at him.

Harrison simply gazed back at her with tendemess. “You’re hurt, so it’s not good for you to walk”

Jocelyn knew exactly what he was thinking and silently consented to his behaviour

Melvin approached them with a chilly glint in his eyes.

“Mr. Martinez, why don’t you stay for dinner? Oh Harrison, when did you get here? Jocelyn, what’s…” Calvin’s voice trailed off in surprise as he saw Harrison holding Jocelyn, a look of astonishment crossing his face

After all, even if their relationship was confirmed, it didn’t justify such intimacy in this setting.

Jocelyn was embarrassed, especially since she was still in Harrison’s arms; she wished she could disappear.

“Calvin, Jocelyn took a tumble, I came over this morning to check on her. I have to head back to work soon but I don’t want to leave her alone, so I thought of bringing her back here for you and Daisy to look after,” Harrison explained smoothly.

Calvin noticed the injury on Jocelyn’s chin and the bandages on her hands. He couldn’t help but chide her gently, “How can you still be falling over at your age? You’re just like your mother, always making others to worry.”

“What happened to Mom?” Jocelyn perked up at the mention.

“Your mom had a little mishap coming back from shopping with her friends, got nicked by a bicycle. Mr. Martinez happened to be around and brought her home. Thankfully, it was just a scraped elbow, nothing serious,” Calvin explained with a tone of relief for having Melvin there
