The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chatper 161

Chapter 161

Melvin showed up at the family horne with a new identity, and everyone’s attitude toward him shifted like the

wind.

Despite not embracing this new version of him, Daisy invited him to stay for dinner out of politeness.

The meal was a tense affair, with the air thick enough to cut with a knife.

After they had finished eating, Calvin and Daisy didn’t insist on keeping Jocelyn back. She was an adult, after all. They could only advise, but not dictate.

Once they had left, Daisy turned to her husband. “Your suspicions were spot on. He was after Jocelyn right from the start when he first visited.”

“Did you make it clear to her?”

“As crystal. But whether she’ll listen is another story.” Daisy sighed, “If she’s been sneaking around with that man for three years, she must be smitten. You didn’t see the way she talked to me today. She’s determined to be with him.”

Calvin frowned deeply, “I’m quitting my job tomorrow.”

“That’s for sure.” Daisy’s face lined with worry. “Why can’t she just stick with Harrison? He’s such a good man – educated, polite, and his parents are nice too. I can’t fathom what she sees in that other guy.”

Daisy had previously referred to him respectfully as Mr. Martinez, but now she couldn’t even bring herself to say Melvin’s last name.

Calvin let out a heavy sigh. “It’s my fault. If I had listened to Jocelyn and not taken that job, none of this would have happened.”

“Hmph, if they’re still attached at the hip, it won’t keep them apart. They’ll find a way to be together.” Daisy settled into the couch, restless at an hour when she should have been asleep.

On the ride back, Jocelyn stayed silent.

Melvin drove in equal silence.

Once they reached her apartment building, Melvin parked the car. Undoing his seat belt, he asked her, “What do you think?”

“Hmm?”

“Your parents clearly disapprove of me. Under these circumstances, what’s on your mind?” Melvin was direct.

Jocelyn paused, then asked, “And what about you?”
