The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 218

Ursula and Harrison’s wedding was set to be the talk of the town.

Jocelyn had no choice but to leave her little munchkin Euston in the capable hands of Yasmine.

Yasmine was more than happy to help out. She wouldn’t dream of saying no.

No sooner had Jocelyn stepped out, than Melvin showed up.

“You’re treating that kid like he’s pure gold,” Melvin remarked, eyeing the little one snuggled contently in Yasmine’s arms.

Yasmine glanced at his face, “Looking pretty good after your rough patch, huh?”

Melvin grunted, craning his neck this way and that, but Jocelyn was nowhere in sight. “Where’s she?”

“Off to the wedding.”

“Harrison Whitman’s wedding?”

“Yep.”

Melvin pursed his lips, “They’re pretty tight, aren’t they?”

“Quit being bitter,” Yasmine couldn’t stand his attitude. “I’ve got news for you.”

Melvin slouched on the couch, legs crossed. Truth be told, he hated touching anything in this house.

That couch had once been his and Jocelyn’s battlefield. He didn’t want to think about whether it was Jocelyn and her husband’s love nest.

It made his skin crawl.

“Spill it.” Melvin eventually stood up, unable to settle his inner turmoil.

“I heard she was supposed to be Ursula’s bridesmaid.”

“She almost ended up the bride herself the day she came back,” Melvin recalled the sight of Jocelyn in a wedding dress standing in front of Harrison, and how he nearly choked on his breath.

Yasmine glared at him, “Listen, I’m serious here.”

“So what?” Melvin stopped fooling around.

“So what? Married women can’t be bridesmaids, can they?” Yasmine hinted with her eyes.

Melvin furrowed his brow, “What are you getting at?”

“Are you thick?” Yasmine looked at him with disdain. “Nobody invites a married woman to be a bridesmaid. Get it?”

“So that means…” Melvin’s brain seemed to lag, an idea flashing by but elusive.

Yasmine laid it out, “That means she’s single.”

Melvin’s pupils dilated, staring at Yasmine as if struck by lightning.

He was speechless for a moment, just standing there.

Suddenly, Euston let out a cry.

Melvin was snapped back to reality. The odd feeling in his heart was smoothed over. “But she has a kid.”

That was something even Yasmine couldn’t argue with.

Yeah, married or not, the kid was here right in front of them.

Having a child out of wedlock wasn't that uncommon anymore.

If she hadn’t been serious about the guy, would she have had the baby?

“Forget it, it's none of your business anyway.” Yasmine regretted bringing it up. It was like giving him a glimmer of hope only to snuff it out herself.

Melvin watched the baby cry and felt like crying himself.

…

Jocelyn arrived at the bustling wedding venue on time.

The bride and groom were still getting ready, and Jocelyn spotted her parents among the guests.

She walked over, and Daisy frowned upon seeing her, “You’ve lost weight?”

“Not really,” Jocelyn smiled, “I’m just right.”

“You’ve worked too hard,” Daisy still fretted over her, “Your dad and I have saved up. You don’t need to give us money anymore.”

Jocelyn took her parents by the arm and sat down, “I’ve got it under control.”

The master of the ceremony had taken the stage, and the wedding ceremony was about to begin.

As the music started, everyone turned to look at the other end of the hall.
