Chapter 173

Harrison watched as Jocelyn sauntered over to Melvin, who gazed at her with a look so tender that it could melt butter. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and as they turned to leave, Melvin shot a triumphant glance back at Harrison. His smirk was a silent taunt, proudly proclaiming his place by Jocelyn’s side.

They slipped out of the bistro and went back into the car. Once the engine hummed to life, Melvin’s curiosity got the better of him. “What did you tell him?”

“Not much,” Jocelyn said with a shrug, “just that we’re better off as friends.”

Melvin chuckled, steering onto the road. “Friends, huh? That’s just an excuse to keep someone on the back burner.”

Jocelyn’s eyes twinkled with mischief. “What’s the matter? Scared he’s gonna steal me away?”

She smirked, her lips curling in amusement. “Quite confident, aren’t you?”

“Who else would you want when you’ve got me?” he retorted.

“Well, what if you dump me one day?” Jocelyn quipped with a teasing pout. “I can’t be expected to pine for you forever.”

Melvin frowned, “Why would I ever let you go? Unless you don’t want me.”

Jocelyn laughed off his charm. “But mark my words, if you ever dare to dump me, I’m not the type to revisit old flames.”
