The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 260

Jocelyn never imagined that Melvin would pull some extravagant stunt. After all, they belonged to different worlds. She came from a modest family, and he played games she couldn't even fathom, let alone join.

But then, the city lights along the riverfront transformed.

On the big screen of the gallery up ahead, in bold letters that seemed to shout through the night, it read, "Jocelyn, I love you!"

Jocelyn was floored.

It wasn't just one screen. All the prime billboards usually flashing ads were now proclaiming Melvin’s love for her.

She had heard that these ad spaces were charged by the second.

Drama from TV shows was unfolding in her life, and she was the star. She was at a total loss, unable to react.

Her phone buzzed incessantly in her hand.

Messages flooded in from locals who'd seen the billboards, all asking if she was the Jocelyn in question.

With a numb expression, she scrolled through the barrage of texts, her gaze locking onto Melvin's, who was smiling tenderly at her.

It was clear. She was the Jocelyn.

"Jocelyn, looks like someone’s making a grand declaration," her colleague texted her along with a video.

Only then did she realize that it wasn't just the waterfront screens, but every billboard in the city center was emblazoned with the same message.

Her lips trembled as she stared blankly at Melvin.

Melvin took a step back, slowly sank to one knee, and with all the romance of a fairy tale prince, he said, "Jocelyn, I love you. Thank you for agreeing to marry me."

The moment he knelt before her, Jocelyn clamped a hand over her mouth, tears welling in her eyes, and she reached to pull him up, choking back sobs, "Oh, stand up."

But he rose only to enfold her in his arms once more. His eyes were full of emotion, locked onto the twinkling lights of the city as he hugged her tighter. His voice was a warm whisper, "For the formal proposal I owe you, and the wedding. I'll make it up to you bit by bit."

Her eyes moistened.

In truth, she didn't need any of this fanfare.

But he had done it, and despite herself, her vanity was tickled pink.

Zephyr leaned against the doorway, watching the new couple outside wrapped in each other's arms and mused, "Melvin's finally found his home. I thought he'd end up alone, but here he is already a married man."

Standing behind him, Yannick glanced at the couple before turning back to Zephyr, "When are you planning to tie the knot?"

Caught off guard, Zephyr shrugged, "Never. You?"

"Not planning to," Yannick replied, meeting his gaze.

"Planning to be a lone wolf your whole life?" Zephyr arched an eyebrow.

"Yeah," was Yannick's simple affirmation.

Zephyr chuckled, "Maybe we can keep each other company in our old age then."

"Deal," Yannick replied crisply.

A smile tugged at Zephyr's lips.

The declaration on the billboards of Yanova City lasted from dusk till dawn and shot to the top of Twitter's trending topics. Countless videos captured the spectacle.

Everyone was buzzing about who this Jocelyn could be, to warrant such an extravagant display of affection.

Many envied the girl.

Of course, there was also rampant speculation about who could be so flush with cash to declare their love so publicly.

That night, a fortune was spent.

Indeed, the romance of the wealthy is something beyond the average person's reach.

Jocelyn spent the night on the yacht, where she and Melvin did nothing but watch the riverside scenery and the repeated message that declared Melvin’s love for her.

The whole city knew that a man loved Jocelyn.

...

The next day, they were still lounging in bed, not yet ready to leave the yacht, when Daisy sent Jocelyn a video, asking if it was her.

Jocelyn replied with a phone call in laugh, "Mom, that was Melvin proposing to me."

Melvin didn't catch what Daisy said, but Jocelyn hung up with a smile.

"What did Daisy say?" Melvin wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close again.
