The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 176

Jocelyn had already left for work.

Melvin stood on the balcony and took a drag from his cigarette,

He had made promises, promises that needed to be kept.

A knock at the door pulled him away from his thoughts. He strode over to answer it.

Yara handed him a small bag, “This is from Dr. Layla, your medicine.”

Melvin took it.

“Are you heading to the office today?”

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “Got some things to handle, won’t make it.”

“Alright then, I’ll be off.”

“Sure.”

After swallowing two pills from the bag, Melvin grabbed the rest and headed out, tossing them into his car’s locker.

He made a stop at the grocery store, filled his cart to the brim, and then drove to Jocelyn’s parents’ place.

As Daisy was about to step out for some shopping, she was startled to see Melvin standing at her doorstep with bags of groceries. “Why didn’t you ring the bell? You scared the daylights out of me.”

“I was about to, Daisy.” Melvin grinned, “Brought some stuff over, planning on cooking dinner here tonight.”

Daisy frowned, puzzled by his behavior.

But she couldn’t turn away someone laden with groceries, so she let him inside.

Melvin greeted Calvin, who was lounging in the living room with the TV remote. After setting down the bags, Melvin inquired about Calvin’s health over the past few days.

“Much better, though still not quite right,” Calvin admitted, visibly thinner after his illness.

“The doctor said it’s normal at first, and it’ll improve with time.” Melvin replied.

Calvin nodded, “I know. Got a follow-up appointment tomorrow.”

“I’ll drive you,” Melvin offered.
