NovelApexChapter 1423:
The sound of Jessica’s phone conversation made it clear to Melvin that she was awake.
“Cin,” Jessica called out. Her hair was tousled, and she looked endearingly disheveled.
“| brought you sclothes. Hope you like them,” Melvin said, stepping inside with two bags in hand. He passed
them to her, adding, “And here's a pair of shoes.”
Jessica hesitated for a moment. Though she was accustomed to his thoughtful nature, his care still struck her
deeply, warming her heart.
“If they're not to your liking, | can have someone fetch other options,” Melvin added, noticing her silence.
She fought to keep her emotions in check, taking the bags from him with a grateful smile. “These will do just
fine. Thank you.”
“| didn’t get any makeup,” he confessed, his hands at his sides, visibly tense. His concern was evident; he feared
she might be upset that he had made decisions for her without asking. “I wasn’t sure what you'd want.”
“It’s fine.” Jessica smiled reassuringly. Makeup was something she rarely bothered with—usually just a touch of
sunscreen, concealer, and a swipe of lipstick. “It’s just the paperwork,” she added lightly. “No need for makeup.”

“You don’t have to say another word,” Jessica interrupted, her eyes locking onto his with a gravity he had never

Melvin opened his mouth but couldn't bring himself to speak. He longed to pour his heart out, but he reminded
himself—he was no longer a boy chasing whims. An adult has to weigh not just feelings, but the consequences.
“So that’s a no?” she pressed again.
“I'm sorry,” he finally replied, his voice thick with turmoil.
“No apology needed.” Jessica rose from the bed, drawing a clear line between them. “Since you've made your
choice, then from this moment forward, | hope you won't show up in front ofagain. If you do, I'll take it as
your silent agreement to marry me.”

“Jessica—" Melvin started to protest.
“Think it through,” she said coolly, gathering her clothes and heading toward the bathroom.
Melvin stood there, stunned, the words tangled in his throat. She was already gone.

At exactly 8:20, she collected her belongings and prepared to leave.
Melvin, like a child caught breaking something precious, offered hesitantly, “Letdrive you.”
“There's no need.” Jessica declined,
