Ophelia helplessly looked at Melody and wondered how she had been raised to have such a timid personality.
She softened her tone and said, "When have I ever cared about whether or not you and Jeremy are together? I'm actually happy that you broke up with him. With his bad character, I was worried he'd hurt you."
Melody lifted her gaze, her eyes full of confusion.
Ophelia gently smiled. "Melody, remember, all the concern I have for you is because you're you. It has nothing to do with Jeremy.
"If it were possible, I even wish you were my daughter. I always thought you liking Jeremy was his good fortune.
"But since he doesn't know how to cherish you, that's not something anyone else can do anything about." Ophelia immediately pulled out her phone. "In fact, I'll introduce my nephew to you right now. He's definitely more reliable than Jeremy.
"Trust me, my nephew is handsome—six feet two inches, graduated from a prestigious university, and the best part is that his character is great."
Before Melody could react, Ophelia had already grabbed her phone and quickly sent the other party a text.
Ophelia's nephew replied instantly.
At that moment, Melody completely forgot about her gloom. In a panic, she said, "Ophelia, this is not appropriate."
Ophelia raised an eyebrow. "What's inappropriate? Neither of you is married. Don't worry, just chat casually."
Melody had no idea what to say, and her face was full of concern.
Ophelia teased her. "Are you reluctant to let go of Jeremy?"
When Ophelia said that, Melody's heart ached uncontrollably. She lowered her head and softly said, "No…" Breaking up with Jeremy had been her decision, and she didn't regret it.
But after tearing out something that had taken root in her heart for so many years, she just wasn't used to the emptiness it left behind.
Fortunately, Ophelia didn't continue with that topic and shifted the conversation back to the online harassment Melody had been facing.
However, Melody didn't want Ophelia to get involved in this.
As she and Felicia had analyzed, if Andrew was indeed behind all this, it would be best for Ophelia to avoid getting caught up in it.
