Chapter 1404:
Jessica paused, her hands still. Her face lacked the usual spark he had cto recognize. “What do you want to
talk about?”
Melvin gestured toward the living room.
Jessica followed him out.
He handed her a glass of freshly made juice before taking the seat across from her. His voice was soft but
earnest. “I know you're mad at me, but even if you're furious, you shouldn't rush into marrying Jack.”
“This has nothing to do with you,” Jessica said, irritation brimming beneath her words.
“It does. We're friends,” Melvin responded, trying to appeal to her logic. “I can’t just sit back and watch you
make a mistake.”
Her eyes flickered, a storm of emotions hidden behind them. Then, colder than before, she replied, “Friends are
the last thing | need.”
“You know Jack better than | do. He's with a different woman every other week,” Melvin said, his voice tight with
concern. “If you marry him, you won't be happy.”

Jessica gave a bitter shrug. “The man | love will never loveback. What's the point of chasing happiness?”
Melvin said nothing. The words clung to the silence like a weight.
“Yes, Jack's a flirt, and | know full well he won't loveeven after we're married,” Jessica said, her voice shaking
with emotion. “But it doesn’t matter, because | won't love him either.”
“If there's no love, then why be together? Marriage should be about joy, not regrets,” Melvin said, trying to make
her see reason.
Jessica clenched her fists, fighting the urge to scream. She took a breath and said, “I've already made up my
mind.”
“There are so many incredible people in the world. You don’t have to settle. Someone who truly loves you will
show up,” Melvin offered gently.
“My last crush lasted ten years, and in the end, he still didn’t love me,” Jessica said, locking eyes with him, the
pain in her voice impossible to miss. “I'm not waiting another decade for the next one.”
With that, she stood and went back into the room to continue packing. Her words felt like a hammer slamming
straight into Melvin’s chest.
