A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 16

Jeremy paused. He glanced back at Melody. His dark eyes didn't show any emotion.

For a second, Jeremy felt something shift inside when he met Melody's gaze.

However, it was only for a moment. He returned to his former calm and said quietly, "No. Caleb picked it."

The air seemed to freeze. Melody wasn't sure how to react.

Should she be glad Jeremy hadn't chosen the mango cake himself, or should she feel sad about just how careless he was with her?

Melody felt lost. Her hands, hanging at her sides, curled into fists, then slowly relaxed.

Jeremy looked at her. "What's wrong? Is there an issue with the cake?"

Melody opened her mouth, unsure what to say.

Krystal had already walked over. She stopped next to Jeremy, and her brows knitted slightly. "It's just a cake. What could be wrong with it?"

She glanced at Melody and said casually, "I saw Caleb order that cake. It's the top-rated flavor from that shop. Are you not happy with it, or did you want something else?"

Jeremy didn't speak, and he didn't look irritated. He just glanced at his phone and said, "We have one minute until work starts. If you have something to say, say it."

Melody bit her lower lip and suddenly couldn't say a word.

Jeremy had gotten her a cake. Was there anything else she had to complain about?

At least he remembered her. This time, he didn't ignore her. Even if she couldn't eat that cake, he had still ordered it. That was enough.

Besides, Melody knew Jeremy well. To him, it was just a birthday cake. He didn't care who bought it or what flavor it was.

If she told him she didn't like it, he would probably just order another one. However, she didn't want another one.

Pushing for another cake would make it seem like she was making a fuss over nothing.

She took a moment to steady herself, forcing a small smile. "Nothing. I just... wanted to say thank you."
