The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 121

Melvin’s eyes twinkled with a mischievous clint, yet there was a hint of feigned innocence In his gaze as if he were earnestly seeking

Jocelyn couldn’t just ignore him, not with her parents’ feelings to consider.

“Of course,” she replied.

“Hmm, that’s good. A romance where both hearts are solely for each other can truly last. If one is harboring feelings for someone else while dating and professing true love, that’s shameful.” Melvin spoke with the air of someone who’d been around the block, “I once dated a girl who wanted to step into marriage. But I felt the timing wasn’t right, so she got mad and broke up with me. She rushed into a relationship with some random guy, probably thinking he’d marry her on the spot, and even took him home to meet the parents. But I could tell, she never really got over me.”

Each word from Melvin nearly choked Jocelyn. She could read between the lines-he was taking jabs, exploiting the situation to embarrass her.

He just wouldn’t miss any opportunity to make her squirm

“Oh no,” Daisy chimed in, shaking her head, “That’s not right. Entering a serious relationship without letting go of an ex? That’s a no-go. It’s unfair to the current partner if you’ve still got that barrier in your heart.”

Jocelyn’s expression turned sour.

Melvin’s smirk grew wider. His gaze shifted between the increasingly uncomfortable Jocelyn and Harrison, who no longer seemed indifferent. “Exactly. Dating with someone else in your heart is downright unethical.

Jocelyn wanted to throttle Melvin. His mouth was so infuriatingly sharp!

“Nah, that’s not okay Luckily, our Jocelyn isn’t like that. Harrison is the first boyfriend she’s brought home. I’m truly at ease with them. It’s fate that brought them together, and if they tie the knot, it’s meant to be,” Daisy was blissfully unaware of the undercurrents swirling between the three young people and cheerfully said to Melvin, “Mr. Martinez, when they get married, you must come and raise a glass.”

Melvin’s smile stiffened for a moment, as if struck by a sudden pang in his heart.

He raised an eyebrow, eyeing Jocelyn with a look that wanted to be venomous but feared being too revealing. Instead, he simply touched the imprint of teeth on the back of his hand and gazed at the discomfited Jocelyn, “Certainly.”

The meal was a torturous affair for Jocelyn. She had no appetite.

Daisy and Calvin were enthusiastically entertaining Melvin and Harrison. In their eyes, Harrison was their future son-in-law. And since Melvin had visited twice already, the atmosphere was relaxed.

To Jocelyn, it seemed like Melvin and Harrison were both being sized up as potential in-laws.
