NovelFameChapter 1444:
He hesitated again, then gave a small nod.
“Normally, parents wouldn't want their daughter to marry someone from a complicated family background,”
Freya admitted, steady and calm. “But if the man’s exceptional—then it’s different.”
Exceptional meant everything: career, integrity, character. And Melvin had already proven himself on all counts.
“If background is all that’s bothering you, let it go,” Freya continued. “You've built a life that stands on its own.
You can give her something solid.”

Freya didn’t push him. “You don’t have to tellif you don’t want to.”

“That’s why you turned her down?” Freya asked, surprised by the weight of his answer.
Melvin nodded. It wasn’t that he wanted to reject Jessica. But his family was a mess. If his parents ever found out
he married someone rich, it would bring disaster straight to Jessica’s doorstep.
He didn’t want Jessica facing that ugliness. And he definitely didn’t want her family being laughed at behind their
backs.

Melvin’s jaw tensed. Doubt still flickered in his eyes.
“If you lose her over this, that’s the real regret,” Freya added.
