Chapter 1360:
Jessica pressed her lips into a thin line. Her plan hadn't worked on him at all. “Just treatlike your girlfriend,
starting now!” she tried again, unwilling to give up.
Melvin faltered, recalling something Gerard had said. When he looked at her, his voice grew gentler. “Is it
because you like me?”
“Absolutely, | do.” Jessica gave a nod and replied without hesitation. “Not only you, but Gerard too. Both of you
are good to me. How could | not feel that way?”
“I was asking if you likedas more than a friend.”
“No, not in that way.”
“You mean it?”

“Care to test that theory?”
“Believe me.”
With a swift kick, Jessica proved she was not bluffing. Stubborn idiot!

Annoyance flickered across her face as she checked the caller ID. Seeing who it was, her irritation only
