Chapter 1385:
“Because you deserve to be happy.”
Melvin meant every word. He wasn’t someone who asked for much out of life. All he really wanted was for Freya
and her family to be safe, to live in peace. And for Jessica—a girl so sincere and warm—he hoped she would find
someone who truly made her happy.
“Before you start givinglife advice, maybe take a good look at yourself,” Jessica said in her usual breezy
tone. “You're over thirty and haven't even dated once. If people found out, they’d think something's seriously
wrong with you.”
“I don’t care what they think,” Melvin replied, calm as always.
“Well, | care,” Jessica said without hesitation.
He went still.
She continued naturally, her voice steady and sincere. “You're a genuinely good person. I'd hate it if anyone said
something awful about you.”
Melvin didn’t say anything. He didn’t know how to respond. But deep down, he quietly made a decision—he
needed to find someone truly decent for her.
“Why'd you go quiet all of a sudden?” she asked, looking over at him.

“I was just thinking about who in Alerith might be a good match for you.”
Jessica stared at him, completely speechless. This guy was unbelievable.
Melvin thought it through and finally asked, “What do you think about Alan Briggs or Trent Seymour? They're
both decent guys. Good families, solid character.”
“No way!” Jessica shut it down without a second thought.
“Why not?” he asked.
“There's just no spark,” she said, making up an excuse on the spot. “Didn't you just tellnot to settle for
someone just because of timing or pressure? I'm not in any rush.”
“Just meet them,” Melvin said simply. “As friends. It’s not like it’s a blind date or anything.”
“Not interested.”

“Fine.”
“| already like someone,” Jessica said flatly.
Melvin looked surprised but didn’t dig into it. There were plenty of great men out there. “Who is it?”
“Gerard,” she said, keeping a straight face.
Melvin blinked in shock.
At the red light, he turned toward her, his face filled with disbelief. “Gerard?”
“Yup!” Jessica confirmed, deliberately
baiting him. “l was planqing. to leh
