The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 170

“How about it? Do you like it?” Melvin asked with his voice remarkably steady.

Jocelyn gazed at the ring on her finger, feeling neither the rush of excitement nor the flutter of joy that she had expected.

She should have felt happy.

After all, this was something she had been waiting for, a token she had longed for.

And now, as he sipped the ring onto her finger himself, it was supposed to be a dream come true.

But the joy just wasn’t there.

“What are you doing?” Jocelyn looked up at him, utterly confused.

Melvin took a deep breath and caressed the diamond ring. “I’ve never given you a ring before. This is the first time.”

She looked down; the diamond was massive and sparkled brilliantly.

Yes, it was the first time he had given her a ring.

“This is how I feel.” Melvin said, holding her hand a little tighter with a trace of uncertainty in his eyes. “Do you accept?”

There was no proposal, just a man desperately trying to convey his attitude.

But somehow, it felt more significant than the traditional “will you marry me”.

Jocelyn had never imagined him getting down on one knee; it just didn’t seem like something he would do.

He probably was the only man in the world who could slip a ring on a woman’s finger with such urgency and a hint of dominance.

Jocelyn took a deep breath and met his gaze. “I accept.”

Melvin’s tense expression relaxed at her words.

After paying for the ring, they walked hand in hand into the bright sunshine outside. It was a beautiful day.
