Chapter 158

Today was a day Melvin could hardly wipe the proud grin off his face.

He drove to an exclusive club that he frequently visited. Upon arrival, he chivalrously opened the car door for Jocelyn. He reached out his hand to her as she hesitated slightly, peering at him with uncertainty.

“What’s wrong?” Melvin grasped her wrist firmly. “Let’s go.”

“Why do you bring me here?”

“To meet someone.” he replied, shutting the car door and tightening his grip on her hand.

He used to avoid holding her hand, as if he wanted to distance himself from any association with her and was afraid of being seen together.

Jocelyn started at his hand. She sensed a subtle change in their interaction. Even though it was a minor shift, it stirred something quite different within her.

Melvin held her hand firmly all the time as they got in. The staff greeted him as they passed, and he responded with a particularly cheerful demeanor.

Door opened, and they were greeted by dazzling lights.

Jocelyn was taken aback by the sight of the man sitting inside. She even thought of pulling away from Melvin.

“Why pull away?” Melvin interlaced their fingers assertively and guided her to sit opposite Harrison. His possessiveness was evident as he pulled Jocelyn down beside him.

Harrison noticed their intertwined hands. A hint of sorrow flashed behind his glasses, but he quickly smiled and said, “Seems like we don’t have to pretend anymore.”

Jocelyn frowned and was puzzled as to why Melvin had arranged to meet with Harrison.

“I called Mr. Whitman first thing this morning.” Melvin announced. “He’s fully supportive of us getting back together.”

So, was that who Melvin was calling in the morning?

Jocelyn looked at Harrison. Even though they had broken up, she still felt a twinge of guilt.

“Of course, I support it. If two people still have each other in their hearts, then being together is the best outcome.” Harrison remarked with a smile.

“What a true scholar you are, always so insightful.” Melvin poured Harrison a drink. “We must treat Mr. Whitman to a meal today to express my gratitude.”

“Sounds good” Harrison accepted with grace.

It was then that Jocelyn realized she didn’t possess the open-mindedness of these two men.
