The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 234

Jocelyn turned away to wipe her tears before sliding out of bed and scooping up Euston to head outside.

Melvin watched her elude, a helpless sigh escaping his lips.

Daisy noticed Jocelyn's reddened eyes as she came out, though she had no clue what had transpired.

Turning to see Melvin emerge, who was all spruced up and greeted cheerfully.

Jocelyn was busy preparing formula milk for the baby, not paying them any mind.

"Time to wash up for dinner," Daisy declared, unconcerned with whatever had gone on in the room, trusting they'd been sensible enough not to stir up trouble.

Melvin began setting the table, while Jocelyn cradled the baby and fed him.

Feeling Euston's pants, Jocelyn realized Melvin had changed the baby's diaper earlier.

No wonder Euston hadn't fussed upon waking. Melvin must have been entertaining him.

Having overindulged at lunch, neither Calvin nor Melvin touched a drop of alcohol that evening.

During dinner, both Calvin and Daisy noticed a fresh bite mark on Melvin's hand.

Their eyes inevitably drifted to Jocelyn, who was focused on her meal and feigning ignorance of their stares.

Melvin carried on as if nothing had happened and chatted away with Calvin and Daisy.

Once dinner was over, Melvin helped clear the table.

Jocelyn sat on the couch, watching TV with Euston in her arms.

"You sit down, let Calvin do this," Daisy told Melvin, attempting to stop him from cleaning up.

"It's fine." Melvin was unusually eager to help.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Daisy gave in, finding herself unexpectedly fond of him more.

In the kitchen, Melvin kept Daisy company. He helped with dishes washing, chatted with Daisy, and later took out the trash.

"What did you do to him, Jocelyn?" Daisy asked as she dried her hands and approached her daughter.

Jocelyn's eyebrows knitted together. "What could I possibly do to him?"

"Did you bully him?"

"What? Do you really think it’s possible?" Jocelyn was exasperated.

Somehow, her parents' attitude towards Melvin had completely changed. They once feared she'd be at a disadvantage with him. But now, it seemed they worried the opposite.

"I noticed that bite mark on his hand. Was that your doing?" Daisy inquired.

"Yes," Jocelyn was frank.

Daisy frowned. "Why did you do that in such a joyful time?"

Jocelyn thought about his outrageous actions but decided not explaining the details. The more she explained, the more absurd it seemed. It was said, and that was that.

After disposing of the trash, Melvin returned and announced his leaving, "It's getting late. You should rest. I'll head out now."

"Won't you stay a bit longer?" Calvin stood up.

"No, thank you. I've imposed enough for today. Please take care," Melvin replied politely and cordially.

It was indeed late, and they couldn't insist he stay.

Daisy glanced at Jocelyn. "See him out, Jocelyn"

Caught off guard and locking eyes with Melvin, Jocelyn felt a tightness in her throat. "I'm holding the baby."

"I'll take him," Daisy said, reaching to take Euston from Jocelyn's arms.

Jocelyn frowned at her mother.

"It's just a few steps, and it's not like you don't know each other. Just go," Jocelyn whispered, her voice low.

Daisy took the baby. "Go on."
