Chapter 1380:
“Huh?” Jessica felt like she was stuck in sstrange dream.
Even Jack and his group were baffled.
Jack stared at Melvin’s back, muttering under his breath, “You think her dad’s the kind of guy you take to some

“Amara Kitchen is cheap,” Melvin replied casually as he cto a stop.
Everyone froze on the spot.
Jack hesitated. “What did he say?”
“Amara Kitchen.”
“The one that only seats three tables a day?”

Someone turned to Jack and asked instinctively, “Jack, who exactly is this guy?”
“No clue,” Jack muttered, lips pressed into a tight line. A vague sense of unease settled over him. “You don’t just

Jessica went quiet for a moment. She had a bad feeling that if that dinner ever actually happened, things might
get way out of hand.
“No need,” she said again, firmer this time.

“Really?” Melvin asked, his tone easy. He never pushed.
“Yeah.” Jessica nodded, her voice a little conflicted. “It’s not like you're marrying me. A formal dinner doesn’t feel

Melvin gave it a thought and replied, “Alright, I'll listen to you.”
