The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 127

Jocelyn felt a tightness in her chest. She wanted to explain but found any word seemed hollow and Insincere.

W to talk. Harrison said before turning away and walking towards the curb.

Jocelyn trailed behind him. Her gaze fixed on his retreating back, wishing to slap herself in the face.

Hamison was her boyfriend now. Everything he did was reasonable and justifiable. Why had she snapped at him?

Jocelyn was filled with regret. She caught up to him and grabbed his hand

Harrison stopped and turned to look at her glanced at her hand and gently removed it. “No need to force it”

Jocelyn felt an emptiness in her heart at his coldness.

Hamison sat down at a roadside diner and ordered a spaghetti. He had flown for over two hours from Berry City to give her a surprise, never expecting such situation

All the imagined perfect scenarios shattered in that instant.

He knew that Jocelyn hadn’t been totally in love with him. But her blatant favouritism made him feel like a failure. He thought he could help her move on, to transfer all her feelings to him. Alas, that was not the case.

The spaghetti arrived, and Harrison had no intention of torturing his stomach with hot spices just to earn her sympathy. Pity that was sought after was neither lasting nor genuine.

Hamison listened calmly to her explanation. He could tell she was being sincere, that she really wanted to avoid entanglement with Melvin

But isn’t that how feelings are? If you’re not together, there’s always a period of entanglement. Some people get bored of the chase, but others are like a stubborn adhesive, impossible to shake off.
