Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28 What Went Wrong

"Nothing," Adeline replied as she managed to force a smile.

She realized she couldn't keep her calm while recalling those memories.

She felt as if a dam had burst, and old memories were flooding back into her mind.

Logan's vows and sweet words became a dull knife cutting into her heart, making her heartbroken.

She couldn't get these memories out of her head after spending three years with him.

However, they couldn't go back to the past because everything had changed.

Adeline suddenly felt sorry for Logan.

She wondered how he'd react when he returned to see all the mess and how heartbroken he'd be.

Adeline's expression revealed to Curtis that she was unhappy and appeared to be considering something that bothered her.

But he was unable to figure out what was on her mind.

The mood in the car was subdued and a slight melancholy.

Steffen dropped Melissa off in front of her family's boxing gym. He had just pulled up the car when a sword slashed through the air and stopped an inch from the windshield.

Steffen looked around in disbelief before rushing out of the car with Melissa.

"Dad! What the hell are you doing?" Melissa asked angrily.

Steffen turned around to see a man with a long sword standing there. The man, who wore a stylish blue sports suit and carried himself with dignity, appeared to be around 55 years old.

Bruce Park, Melissa's father, pushed his daughter out of the way slightly. He looked disapprovingly at Steffen through narrowed eyes and swiftly raised the long sword to Steffen's forehead.

Steffen didn't move a muscle. He focused his gaze ahead and stood a little straighter.

Bruce appeared to be appreciative of Steffen. He asked, "Young man, how many people do you have in your family? What do you do for a living?"

Melissa kicked Bruce in the leg because she was so mad at him. "Dad! What are you doing?" she asked.

Steffen took a step back and replied succinctly, "Mr. Park, it's not what you think. I'm only giving her a ride home because my boss asked me to."

Bruce frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with his words. "Are you saying my daughter is not good enough to date you?" he asked.

Melissa's eyes rolled as she expressed her frustration, "Dad, why are you so worried that no one will marry me? Stop asking that question to every guy I know!"

Bruce shot Melissa a stern look and commanded, "Shut up! I'm talking to him!"

Steffen nodded with a gentle smile, "Miss Park is a wonderful girl, but she's way out of my league."

Bruce grunted grimly and said, "Oh! You should remember what you said, young man!"

After he finished, Bruce dragged Melissa back to their boxing gym. He muttered along the way, "If that guy dares to go out with you later, I'll punch him hard in the face."

Steffen got back into his car after seeing Melissa had returned home with her father.

Melissa soon texted him, "Steffen, I'm sorry. My father has always been this way. Please don't take that personally."

He was especially jealous of Melissa because she had a family by her side since he was an orphan. What happened just now didn't bother him, so he replied, "That's okay."

Steffen got in his car and drove home after sending that text, not realizing he had just created a difficult problem for himself in the future.

......

When Adeline stepped into the office the next day, she noticed that everyone was staring at her strangely.

She wanted to find out what was happening but had no idea where to begin.

As she sat down at her table, she began to wonder if the vote had gone wrong again. She quickly checked the website but found no issues, so she ignored them.

Soon after, Adeline received a call from Sophia asking her to go to her office.
