The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chatper 160

Chapter 160

As Jocelyn led Melvin upstairs, her heart was anything but light. All she could think about was that he’d agreed to meet her parents as her boyfriend, and that made her happy. But she’d forgotten one critical piece – whether her parents would share in her joy.

Standing at the door, she took a deep breath and glanced back at Melvin.

Melvin had composed himself. He encouraged her to knock.

She tapped on the door. It took a while for Daisy to come and open it. She wanted to smile but couldn’t when she saw Melvin, “Mr. Martinez.”

“Mom,” Jocelyn lingered on the doorstep, hesitant to enter.

Daisy eyed them both, “Come in.”

Melvin strode in quite naturally with his hand still entwined with Jocelyn’s. He could feel the shock in Calvin and Daisy’s gaze. “I apologize for the abrupt visit today.”

Calvin’s warmth towards Melvin was no way to find, and the eagerness to please his boss was notably absent this time.

He glanced at their joined hands and simply said to his daughter, “Jocelyn, come here.”

The atmosphere had dropped a few degrees. Jocelyn walked over.

“I’ll talk with her in my room,” Daisy said, pulling her daughter into the bedroom and closing the door behind them.

Calvin and Melvin were left alone in the living room.

Melvin put down his gifts and maintained decorum. This was his first time meeting Jocelyn’s parents as a boyfriend, and it seemed more complicated than he’d anticipated.
