The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 153

Jocelyn sat uneasily in her chair and waited for the trail. Her parents’ piercing gazes felt like weights pressing down on her. Despite unaware of the reasons of her parents’ irritation, still she knew that politeness might mitigate whatever was coming.

“Mom, Dad, is there anything you want to ask me?” Jocelyn ventured, breaking the thick tension in the air.

She couldn’t cope with the awkwardness anymore, which was nothing but a waste of time. She decided to end it, the sooner the better.

Her mother, Daisy, asked in return with sharply. “Do you even have to ask if we want to talk about something?” Jocelyn frowned in confusion. She truly had no clue what she’d done wrong.

“Can I get a hint?” she asked, her voice small.

“Jocelyn, you’ve really outdone yourself this time. You are a teacher a decent person! How could you mess with two men at once? And Harrison bless his heart he was so steady and kind. If you don’t fancy him, just leave him alone rather than give him false hope.”

The word ‘mess caught Jocelyn’s attention. But what?

“Mom, when have I ever been involved with two guys at once? I’ve never betrayed Harrison.” Jocelyn was genuinely puzzled by the unreasonable accusation.

“You’re still play dumb? If I hadn’t run into that neighbor of yours today, I’d never have imagined you’ve been hooking up another man for nearly four years. You are already dating Harrison, but you still let that man send you home. Tell me, Jocelyn, what’s going through your head? No wonder you remain unmarried and not interested in Harrison. You’re never satisfied!”

Daisy’s irritation was palpable. The idea that Jocelyn had kept a boyfriend a secret for over three years-especially from her own parents-was infuriating.

Jocelyn felt her heart race. She hadn’t expected that her mother got mad for this.

Melvin often stayed at her place. Although they avoided running into others, it still happened. Rose, her neighbor, had seen Melvin a few times and knew he was Jocelyn’s partner.

Before her fallout with Melvin, Jocelyn had been adamant about keeping her parents away from her place. unless she was there. She had managed to keep the relationship a secret for over three years.
