?Chapter 1352:


    “Enough with the questions!” Jessica felt a twinge of irritation. If she revealed too much, her father would be on a mission to spy on Melvin. “Once I win him over and bring him home, you’ll get all the details.”


    “Anyone you went to school with must be in their thirties by now. Are you certain he’s still single?” Rnd’s worries spiraled. “What if he’s hiding a wife?”


    “I’ve done my homework; he’s single,” Jessica replied, exhaling with fatigue. “Chill out, Dad. If you don’t let me pursue him, I swear I’ll never marry in this lifetime.”


    Rnd’s emotions red. “You don’t have to get married. I will be your rock forever.”


    “Don’t let your dad get to you,” Jessica’s mother, Lena Prescott, chimed in, snatching the phone. “If you have a crush on someone, go for it. Just make sure you’re being safe.”


    Jessicaughed lightly. “Understood!”


    After the call ended, Rnd’s frown deepened. “How could you say that?” he asked, bewildered.


    “Why shouldn’t I?” Lena shot back. “Jessica deserves to chase after love.” While scolding him, she was well aware of the situation. “Just a warning: don’t meddle. If you wreck her ns, you’ll see my wrath.”


    Rnd held his tongue, his lips a thin line.


    That night, Melvin secured two ne tickets.


    The following day, Gerard apanied Jessica and Melvin to the airport as they prepared to leave.


    Once Jessica entered the restroom, Gerard leaned closer to Melvin, nudging his arm. “Opportunities don’t knock twice. You’ve got to seize them when theye.”


    “What opportunities?” Melvin asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.


    “How would you feel about sharing a ce with someone?” Jessica asked, her eyes wide with innocence.


    Melvin paused, momentarily taken aback. “A roommate, you mean?”


    Jessica’s brow furrowed, revealing a flicker of concern in her doll-like features. “My rental apartment was quite a trek from Anita International’s headquarters. If Ind a position there, I need to consider moving closer to the office for convenience.”

    He raised an eyebrow. “But rent around here isn’t exactly pocket change. I thought about finding a roommate to share the burden.”


    “What can I say? I’m a man,” Melvin added, as if that exined everything. In his mind, girls typically preferred to live with other girls; co-ed setups could lead to all sorts of awkwardness.<fnffe6> This update is avable on Find_Novel(.</fnffe6>


    “Do you really think I don’t know that?” Jessica shot back, a teasing glimmer in her eyes.


    Melvin gave her a sideways nce.


    “Are you worried that if I move in, it mightplicate your love life?” she teased, a yful smile dancing on her lips.


    “My concern is more about yourfort,” Melvin replied, sincerity etched across his face. “If you’re okay with it, you can move in with me. I have two spare rooms.”


    “Fantastic!” Jessica eximed, her excitement bubbling over. She believed that working and living together would make it easier to win him over, providing her with ample opportunities to charm him at just the right moments.
