The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 238

Melvin turned, his gaze lingering on her hand before meeting her eyes. "What's the matter? Can't bear to be parted from me?"

Jocelyn's heart was a tangled mess of worry, not just reluctance.

"I'll make it back in one piece," Melvin reassured her as he drew close, cupping her face in his hands. His charming eyes reflected her concern and longing.

Jocelyn pressed her lips together, her mind a whirlwind of emotions.

Unsure of what to say, she gazed at the face that had captured her heart and leaned in to kiss him.

Melvin was taken aback by her bold move.

But before he could savor the moment, she pulled away.

"That's it?" Melvin pursed his lips, visibly dissatisfied.

Before Jocelyn could reply, a cool sensation brushed her lips. He kissed her again, not just a peck but a deeper exploration, seeking the taste of her that he craved.

They were like two fish that had been stranded on shore, now joyously swimming in the water, circling each other and reveling in the bliss of being reunited.

The distant sounds of the airport announcements seeped through the air as Jocelyn was completely engulfed and gasping for breath.

Melvin gently wiped her lips with his thumb, his voice rough, "I’ll be back soon."

Jocelyn took a deep breath, her eyes misty, "Stay safe."

"I will." Melvin gave her another tender kiss, his eyes brimming with affection. "When I get back, let's get married."

Jocelyn's heart skipped a beat, staring at him in disbelief.

"Did you try on the ring? It should fit perfectly." Melvin stroked her right ring finger. "I owe you a lifetime to make things right. I'm not asking if you want to, because I'm going to give it to you anyway."

At that moment, any resentment Jocelyn had felt melted away.

She totally understood him now.

Yes, she had felt slighted by the years he lived without her, but this man was truly trying to change for her now.

What more could she ask for?

Her heart was soft and her love for him had never wavered. No matter how bitter the love medicine was, a sprinkle of his sweetness would make everything taste so dear.

Jocelyn loved Melvin, more than she had ever imagined.

Sitting in the car, she watched as planes soared overhead one after another.

She composed a message to Melvin and then drove home.

Eleven hours later, as the plane landed, Melvin checked his Facebook and found Jocelyn's message.

[Regardless of titles or marriage, all I want is you.]

Seeing the message, Melvin's lips curled into a smile. Even the gloomy skies couldn't dampen the joy in his heart.

His reply was simple: [You’re my only one.]

After sending it, he dialed her number as he walked.

Jocelyn had just woken up to feed Euston when she saw the message. Before she could be moved by it, Melvin's call came through.

She answered immediately, "Did you arrive?"

"Yeah."

"How was it?"

"Just got off the plane," Melvin's voice was deep, tinged with amusement. "Missed me already?"

Jocelyn watched Euston's adorable face and murmured, "Yeah."

Melvin chuckled softly, "I'll wrap up things here quickly and bring Euston's parents back safely. Once we're home, let's hand the baby back to them and enjoy our own world. Sounds good?"

Jocelyn's heart swelled with joy. There was no point in pretending anymore.
