like to let things take their natural course. Just like when we got together, it was effortless, no need to force anything? Melvin consoled her rarely, “Don’t you think our relationship is just night as it is?”
She also got his point essentially, he didn’t want to go public with their relationship.
The title of boyfriend and girlfriend only existed when they were together To the outside world, they were still distant
Jocelyn faked an indifferent smile. “Yeah, it’s fine Sneaking around together If we split, it won’t become gossip fodder.” The elevator doors opened, and Jocelyn stepped inside.
Melvin followed and closed the door behind them, wrapping his arms around her from behind, “Tve never thought about breaking up with you.”
Likewise, he hadn’t thought about marrying her either.
Jocelyn knew it
She gently removed his hands and said indifferently, I’m going to take a shower.”
Melvin let her go, seeing the disappointment in her eyes.
At this moment, he was also somewhat irritable
Her recent desire for a proper status was becoming more evident, and that wasn’t what he wanted.
That night, they lay in bed, distinctly separated.
Jocelyn slept hazily, feeling a weight on her and hands roaming over her body, warmth spreading down from beside her
ear
She couldn’t help but moan softly, which encouraged her stealthy partner to become more assertive.
His dominance was tempered with tenderness in his love making, always effortlessly conquering her..
Three years had taught him well how to please them both.
The saying goes, lovers quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of it.
By the time Jocelyn was panting on top of Melvin, she knew she had let her guard down.
Melvin was puffing on a post-coital cigarette, feeling refreshed
Jocelyn felt a twinge of regret, rested up and without a word, got up from him. Melvin silently watched her, his eyes following her every move.
Jocelyn spent a good half hour in the bathroom before coming out, still feeling annoyed.
She didn’t expect him to cater to her mood, and she didn’t bother with him either.
Today, Willow was visiting the school, and there was preparation to check, after all, she was a national idol, a goddess, the center of attention wherever she went. The school might even get some buzz because of her.
So, while maintaining the school’s authenticity, it was also essential to make sure everything was media-proof and free. of flaws that netizens could criticize.
Jocelyn wore an ankle-length white dress with a black blazer, simple and elegant.
Being naturally striking, she was always cautious with her makeup, hair, and clothing, never wearing makeup or brightly colored clothes.
Yet even so, her bare face was considered the most beautiful in the whole school.
Melvin stood behind her, reaching out to drape a necklace around her neck.
The cool sensation made her shiver slightly as he put it on her without asking.
“A gift from my business trip.” Melvin wrapped his arms around her, admiring the woman in the mirror, “You look beautiful”
Jocelyn pursed her lips stubbornly, reaching to take it off.
‘Still mad?” Melvin grabbed her hand, turning her around to face him. Seeing the defiance in her eyes, he was surprisingly patient, “How about I pick you up for lunch at school?”
Jocelyn’s brows furrowed, “You’re going to pick me up?”
“Yeah.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Aren’t you afraid of misunderstandings?”
“What others think is beyond our control.” Melvin held her waist, his voice deep and slightly appeasing, “What do you feel like eating?”
Jocelyn was weak
He was the one backing down first, still coaxing her, and most importantly, he said he would come to pick her up at
school
That meant he wasn’t afraid of people thinking he was her boyfriend
Quiet fireworks burst in Jocelyn’s heart.
Everyone could tell Jocelyn was in a good mood.
Ursula sidled up to her, eyeing the necklace gleaming on her neck, “Finally seeing you wear some bling. Wait a sec, that necklace looks familiar Oh, right, I remember Willow posted a picture of it on Twitter, saying she loved it but couldn’t have it because the designer wanted to keep it. How did it end up with you?”
Jocelyn touched the necklace, “No way.”
It was a common design, nothing special about it.
“I’m not mistaken. Ursula even pulled up Willow’s tweet.
There was a photo, indeed, of the necklace she was wearing.
“Look. Ursula said, “No mistake, right? How did you manage to snag something that’s not for sale?
Jocelyn was a bit stunned. She thought Melvin just bought it randomly to cheer her up, and never imagined it was something not easily obtained
Boyfriend’s gift, right? Ursula was all gossip, “With your looks, it’d be a crime not to have one. When can we meet him?” Jocelyn stopped thinking about the necklace.
Thinking of Melvin coming at noon, her heart’s little fireworks went “bang bang.
“You’ll meet him. Jocelyn smiled sweetly.
At ten in the morning, Willow arrived.
The whole school welcomed her warmly, even playing games together on the sports field.
Up close, the students found Willow even more idol-worthy.
Jocelyn stood afar, watching Willow’s innocent, sweet, and approachable demeanor, and couldn’t help but admire the true national goddess for her beauty.
As a wornan, she truly appreciated outstanding members of her gender.
After games and songs, time flew by
having met their idol, contentedly returned to their classrooms to carry on with their day.
Willow sat down with the school authorities for a bit longer before the event concluded.
As Jocelyn was chatting with some colleagues in the corridor, she saw Willow coming out of the meeting room.
Their eyes met, and Willow was the first to smile and nod. Jocelyn and the others naturally responded in kind.
“Jocelyn, can you walk Willow out?” the principal asked.
Jocelyn naturally couldn’t refuse.
Walking with Willow from the office building to the sports field, the atmosphere was quite nice until Willow suddenly stopped and looked at the necklace around Jocelyn’s neck, “Jocelyn, may I ask who gave you that necklace?”
Jocelyn was taken aback, feeling the question was a bit abrupt
Still, she replied politely. “My boyfriend.”
Willow looked taken aback, then forced a smile that wasn’t as genuine as before, her tone a notch cooler, “Oh really? Your boyfriend’s generous, isn’t he?
Jocelyn could tell there was a hint of something more behind her words, but she just smiled in response.
“I actually really love this necklace too, but the designer wouldn’t sell it. I even got a friend to see if there was any way to snag it, but no luck. There was an unmistakable hint of disappointment in Willow’s eyes.
Jocelyn had no words of comfort.
Willow, however, showed a sweet smile. “Never mind. I need to think of a good gift. Next time I see him, I’ll have him buy it
