Chapter 1397:
“I'm sorry...” Melvin murmured, his voice laced with something bitter and heavy. He stood up slowly, each
movement weighed down with emotion.
As he passed by her on his way to the door, he stopped beside her, his voice low and conflicted. “Are you coming
home? I'll help you pack.”
“No need. Jack will takelater,” Jessica answered, rejecting him without hesitation.
Melvin’s fingers twitched slightly at his sides, but he didn’t say another word and walked out.

Jack, still sprawled across the couch, shot her a grin. “You were usingas cover, weren't you?”
“So what?” Jessica didn’t even blink.

Jessica scowled at him. “Why are you so annoying?”
“You two had a fight, didn’t you?” Jack probed, undeterred.
“That's none of your business,” Jessica replied bluntly.

phone as she scrolled aimlessly.
“You know, | kind of like you,” Jack said. He had always thought Jessica looked incredible. “But your temper really
doesn’t match mine.”
Jessica didn’t even glance up. “As if your attitude’s any better.”

“Can you shut up already?”
“Okay, okay, I'll zip it,” Jack said, backing off a little. “Since you didn’t ratout last time, | guess | can return
the favor and help you out today.”
“What are you even talking about?” Jessica asked, finally looking up.
