NovelFameChapter 1451:
It took Melvin over an hour to bring Jessica to his home.
Standing in his living room again stirred up a mess of emotions inside her. She really wanted a hwith him.
“Have a seat.” Melvin offered her a glass of orange juice, his movements slow and careful.
Jessica sat on the sofa, casual on the outside but full of nervous anticipation. “Just say what you want to say.”
“You've always wanted to know why | turned you down, haven't you?” Melvin said, summoning every ounce of
courage he had left.
Jessica nodded lightly, but her heart thudded hard against her chest.
“The biggest reason is... my family,” Melvin finally confessed.
Over the next hour, he laid it all out—the ugly parts, the fear, the worry.
He didn’t know what choice she would make, but she deserved the truth. He couldn’t stand the thought of
watching her drift through life without knowing why he had pushed her away.
“That's everything I've been carrying,” Melvin finished, his tone still uneasy. “If you still want to be with me, Ill
wait until your things with Jack are sorted out. If not, | won't force it. But | hope you'll stop treating your life like a

background, as long as we're not on the streets begging.”
She was telling the truth. His family history didn’t mean a thing to her.
“We'll never end up like that,” Melvin replied, his voice steady. “Life withwill only be better than before.”
“Then why are you overthinking everything?” Jessica felt ridiculous for being rejected over something so small.
“Do you think my social circle is full of judgmental snobs?”
“What...” Melvin looked genuinely lost now.

“Your story is impressive. You cfrom nothing and built yourself into the head of a listed company,” Jessica
said, sincerity shining in her eyes. “That's the kind of success people admire anywhere.”
“But...” Melvin hesitated, still stuck on the what-ifs.
“But nothing.” Jessica shot him a glare. “Honestly, | should be flattered that | get to date you.”
Melvin stared at her, completely thrown.
