The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 255

Yasmine wiped away her tears, gazing enviously at the scene before her.

Back when she had followed Zachary, nobody had ever stood up for her like that.

She had given birth to Preston before she got married. In the eyes of others, she was a rebel.

While she wasn't one for grand ceremonies and didn't need an elaborate wedding, she craved the feeling of being cherished by a man.

Marrying the right person meant being treasured, feeling secure and never feeling slighted. Even if there were issues, they would seem trivial compared with the love they shared.

Zachary had respected her and given her promises, once treating her like Melvin now treated Jocelyn.

But over time, perhaps out of boredom, she had become less important to Zachary.

He no longer considered her feelings.

Yasmine sincerely hoped that Melvin would always remember how he felt today, proposing to Jocelyn with so much love and care.

They had both said their piece and offered their sincerity.

Yasmine presented a set of golden jewelry, a tradition in her family.

She also handed over a cheque for $88,000 as a compensation to the wedding they wouldn't have.

Then, Yasmine presented Jocelyn with another cheque, "This is for your new household, a support for the many expenses to come."

Jocelyn hadn't expected such generosity.

When she looked at the cheque, she was stunned.

Daisy was equally speechless.

"That's too much," Jocelyn tried to return it, "We can't accept this."

"Indeed, it's too much." Daisy said, eyeing the cheque on the table. "The two of you just need to live well together. We won’t take the money."

"Daisy, this is our way of showing sincerity," Yasmine insisted, "You have to take it."

"No, it's excessive," Daisy shook her head, adamant in her refusal.

Yasmine looked at them earnestly, "I've been there myself, starting out with nothing. Though my marriage turned out happy, the beginning was tough. I never want to relive that hardship in Jocelyn’s case. I don't want to shortchange Jocelyn. This money is for her confidence. No matter how their future unfolds, it's hers. If Melvin ever wrongs her, consider it compensation. Of course, we hope for their lifelong happiness. So there's no question of not accepting this—it's all staying in the family."

Moved by Yasmine's determination, Daisy glanced at Jocelyn and sighed, "You've got a great sister-in-law."

Overwhelmed by the cheque, Jocelyn struggled to express her feelings.

"Wait, there's something from me," Melvin said, pulling out an envelope and extracting its contents.

He laid a property deed on the table, "This is our home, in your name, Jocelyn. It’s a gift from me to you."

Next, he presented a vehicle title, "The car's yours too, Jocelyn."

Lastly, he handed over a debit card, "This is my savings account, and I've set the password to your birthday."

After setting everything out, Melvin stood respectfully before them, "These represent my commitment."
