Chapter 1406:
As Melvin stepped inside, his gaze landed on the phone, catching his attention.
Jessica noticed and cut in sharply, “So, what's this about?”
“I'll help you pack,” he offered, moving further into the room.
“My clothes? How are you going to help with that?” Jessica teased, trying to rattle him. “What if you took
something personal, like my underwear, and hid it?”
Melvin’s cheeks flushed. “I wouldn't!” he shot back, flustered.
Jessica smirked, enjoying his discomfort. “Sure about that?”
“I mean it,” Melvin insisted, his ears now bright red. “If you're worried, you can stay and keep an eye on me.”
Jessica's teasing faltered, her heart caught in a tug-of-war.
She knew he was kind, always had been. Even now, as she pushed his buttons, he stayed calm, only wanting her
trust. How could she not feel something for someone so...

“Jessica?” Melvin's voice broke her thoughts, soft with concern.

“I can pack myself,” she said, brushing him off. Then, remembering his message, she held out her hand. “Let me
use your phone. | need to make a call.”
“Where's yours?” Melvin asked, curious.
“It's dead,” Jessica replied, quick as a whip.
Without a second thought, he handed over his phone.
When he lingered, she added, “I'd rather you not listen in.”
“Fine,” Melvin mumbled, reaching for his phone.
Jessica blinked, confused. Was he taking it back?
“I'll unlock it,” Melvin clarified, seeing her hesitation. He opened the phone, handed it back, and stepped outside,
giving her space.
His thoughtfulness only deepened her suspicions—he cared for her more than he let on. Why else would he jump
to do everything she asked?

“Jessica,” Melvin called softly.
“Yeah?”
