Chapter 1391
Chapter 1391:
“When do you want to get married?” she asked without skipping a beat. “I'm not getting any younger. We could
do it this year or next—what do you think?”
“No,” he suddenly cut in, firm and resolute.
“Why not?” she asked, taken aback.
“I don’t love you,” Melvin said, as if a realization had just struck him. “And | won't marry you.”
Jessica shot him a sharp look. “Say that again.”
“I don’t...”
“I've got something to do,” he said, clearly trying to switch topics under her intense stare.
“Hold it right there!” She stepped in his way, locking eyes with him. “You're not going anywhere until we clear
this up.”
Melvin didn’t know what to say.
Jessica felt a stab of hurt—being rejected by someone she truly loved stung. But she wasn’t the type to give up

“Why don’t you love me?” she asked.
Melvin answered, “No spark. No chemistry.”
“You sure about that?”
“Uh-huh...”
The truth was, he didn’t really know. But one thing was clear—he believed she deserved someone better than
him.
Jessica's heart sank. She stepped forward, cornering him against the wall.
Under his steady gaze, she rose on her toes and kissed him.
In that moment, he froze, his heart thundering like never before.
“Still feel absolutely nothing?” she asked, her voice soft but tight as she pulled back just a little.
Melvin didn’t respond, his lips still sealed.
They stood there, caught in the stillness.
Jessica stepped back, her eyes falling with a touch of sadness and self-deprecating humor. “Was that kiss
disgusting to you?”
Melvin still didn’t say a word, too dazed from what had just happened.
“I'm sorry.” Her voice was rough with hurt. “Didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”
“No!” he replied quickly, his tone louder than usual.

sparkle gone. “How. qed younot be

“You're not lying to me?” Jessica asked, still keeping up her act perfectly.
