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.

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?

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.
