Chapter 126

Melvin was head over heels for Jocelyn, the kind of longing that haunted every waking moment and infiltrated dreams.

For over three years, he had grown accustomed to her company.

The mere thought of her being intimate with another man set his heart ablaze. As if gasoline was poured over dry kindling, his jealousy flared up the more he tried to quell it.

His sister once said it was because Jocelyn had become a part of him, intertwined with his very being. Her leaving for another was like forcibly ripping a bone from his body, a wound that could never heal.

Deep down, Melvin knew he couldn’t bear to see her in the arms of another man.

At that moment. Jocelyn didn’t know if she was more angry or hurt. She shoved Melvin away violently, spitting on the ground and wiping her lips vigorously.

She glared at him with fury and pain. “Are you insane? Can’t you just stop messing with my life? I’m done playing these games with you,

done!*

Ursula, who had been watching from a distance, was startled by Jocelyn’s heart-wrenching scream.

Tears threatened to fall from Jocelyn’s eyes as she jabbed a finger at Melvin and accused, “What’s the problem with you? It’s not like I didn’t give you a chance. I asked if you wanted to marry me, if you wanted to settle down, and you said no! If you don’t want to marry me, why can’t you let someone else have me? Why are you so selfish? If you can’t offer me a future, why disrupt my life?”

Jocelyn couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. They flowed like a torrential rain as she slowly bent over, crouching down and crying

into her hands.

Ursula was concerned and was about to approach when she saw Melvin crouch beside Jocelyn and gently enfold her in his arms.

From her vantage point, Ursula could feel the love between them. She never understood why Jocelyn broke up with Melvin. It was clear they were both still in love. Such a breakup was not only torturous for them but also deeply unfair to the new people in their lives.

“Stop crying, Melvin murmured, holding Jocelyn close and patting her back. His voice was hoarse, and his eyes revealed his inner turmoil. Her sobs seemed to push him toward a significant decision. “If you really want to get married, I…”

“Hamson!” Ursula’s urgent call snapped Melvin out of the moment, just as Harrison approached with a thunderous scowl.
