The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 190

Harrison glanced at Jocelyn, who seemed a touch uneasy.

"Mom, she's in the car with me right now," he said.

"Ah?" Elise was clearly surprised, her voice tinged with excitement as she asked, "Jocelyn's there with you?"

Jocelyn, feeling compelled to say hello, looked at Harrison for a brief moment before calling out in a clear voice, "Hello, Elise."

"Oh, Jocelyn, you're with Harrison!" Elise's tone instantly lifted, "You're on break, aren't you? How are things going? All good?"

Jocelyn felt a pang of guilt in response to Elise's warm concern.

Neither Harrison nor Elise had ever harbored any resentment towards her.

"I'm doing quite well."

"It must be stressful, leading a graduating class. Now that you've got a bit of a reprieve, take some time to relax. If you find a moment, bring your folks over to our place. We've been looking forward to having you all over."

Elise's sincerity was palpable even through the phone, devoid of any pretense.

Jocelyn's heart swirled with mixed feelings, her guilt intensifying.

"We're actually on the highway right now, taking a road trip. We'll plan a visit after we get back," Harrison intervened before Jocelyn could answer a question she wasn't sure how to address.

Upon hearing this, Elise, ever so understanding, replied, "Alright, you two enjoy yourselves. Stay safe, and Harrison, take good care of Jocelyn, okay?"

"Will do."

"Then I won't keep you from driving."

After Elise hung up, the car fell into a sudden silence.

Harrison looked at Jocelyn and said, "Sorry about that."

Jocelyn blinked, "Hmm?"

"I haven't figured out how to tell my folks we've split up, so..." Harrison shrugged helplessly, "they think we're still together."

Jocelyn knew he hadn't mentioned it.

She couldn't blame him; she was responsible too.

They had made promises too hastily, and their parents had met, everything seeming so harmonious. But in the end, it was she who had made a mess of things.

In fact, she had caused trouble for Harrison.

Her fickleness had brought inexplicable trouble to others.

"It's my fault," Jocelyn admitted, taking the blame, "Without me, you wouldn't be in this predicament."

She completely understood Harrison's feelings. If Melvin was a cad, in Harrison's case, she was no different.

She had acted on her whims without considering the person who had to face the consequences with her.

Harrison laughed, "The mistake isn't yours; it's mine. I'm just not the one you fancy."

Jocelyn's heart clenched as if something had struck her fiercely.

It's easy to be fearless when you're loved.

She had never considered the feelings of the one she didn't love.

After another four hundred miles or so, they finally reached their first stop, Kangdale City.

They had booked the rooms and breakfast in advance and settled into their rooms.

Jocelyn and Ursula shared a room, and after unpacking, the group headed out for dinner.

The B&B boasted a stunning view, allowing them to watch the golden sunset from the window, erasing the fatigue of the journey.
