Chapter 152

Jocelyn exuded a sincere sense of weariness.

Melvin felt increasingly uneasy. She had said those words several times, which essentially meant she was truly tired of his persistence.

But he wasn’t willing to give up on her!

“Well, then you’ll have to wait for my funeral,” Melvin declared, not caring if she would hate him for it. This was the truth in his heart.

Unless he was six feet under, he wouldn’t give up on her.

A sharp pang tightened in Jocelyn’s chest as she looked at him incredulously, but his gaze was unfathomably deep. “You…”

Melvin’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID before answering.

“Dr. Layla”

Jocelyn only heard him address the caller before he turned away. But he clearly kept the conversation private. Doctor?

The call lasted barely two minutes before Melvin hung up

Seeing that Jocelyn hadn’t left, he felt a wave of relief.

“I’ll drive you home.”

“I don’t need a ride from you, Jocelyn replied with a hint of defiance.

Melvin frowned. “Do I really need to force you?”

Jocelyn was afraid of him. She knew he was capable of anything when riled up-it was just a matter of whether he wanted to or not.

Considering the late hour and the long walk home, she finally agreed in reluctance.
