Chapter 1411:
Jessica remained silent.
Jessica took a small sip of water before saying coolly, “Didn’t | already tell you it was all just for show?”
“You didn’t mention it beforehand,” Roland snapped back, clearly annoyed. This wasn’t sminor issue, and
yet she hadn’t even bothered to give him a heads-up.
Jessica pressed her lips together, as if she wanted to explain but decided to bite her tongue instead.
“Didn’t you say you were planning to win him over?” Roland asked, baffled by the way the younger generation
treated relationships. “And now, just a few days later, you're throwing in the towel?”
“There's no use making moves on him,” Jessica muttered, frustration bubbling in her voice.

so far away?”
Jessica clamped her mouth shut again, saying nothing. She’d told Melvin it had been ten years because it
sounded impressive, but in truth, it had been much longer.
“Tellhonestly,” Roland said, his tone turning stern. “Did you start liking him back in high school?”
Seeing no point in hiding it now, Jessica admitted, “Yeah.”

“You were that young and already caught feelings for him?” Roland started to calculate out loud. “You should've
been focused on school instead of boys.”
Jessica rolled her eyes. “Please. Back then, it was just a silly crush. It wasn’t anything serious. And | never even
told him.”
“Even unspoken feelings might affect your studies,” Roland argued.
Jessica let out an exasperated sigh.
