The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 33

Jocelyn’s ears perked up, her heart in her throat

Its not that she was nosy about Melvin’s private life, but knowing why he was so dead-set against marriage would’ve

The diner fell silent as the grave with Melvin’s entrance.

Jocelyn didn’t want to meddle in their family drama, so she just nodded and said, “Make sure to have fun on your break, but sneak in a bit of reading too.”

“Got it, Preston replied, clearly down in the dumps.

Melvin shooed Preston into the car with a look and didn’t drive off right away, waiting for Jocelyn instead.
