A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 295

It would be impossible for Jeremy to bring up the wedding first. However, he was also aware that if either Melody, Ophelia, or even Andrew suggested it, he would agree to it.

…

Ten minutes later, Melody still hadn't received an answer from Jeremy, causing her heart to slowly sink into place.

After some thought, she sighed. "Maybe you're just used to having me around. You've always had compulsive tendencies, so maybe it feels strange because I'm suddenly not by your side anymore."

"That's not it…" Jeremy refuted instinctively.

His dark eyes flickered slightly as he reminded Melody, "I can tell whether it's compulsive tendencies or not."

He was a doctor, so he was well aware of how compulsive disorders presented.

In the end, he closed his eyes, admitting, "Melody, I don't know what my feelings for you are exactly, but our engagement… Ophelia didn't force me."

This was one of the rare times that Jeremy openly expressed himself.

Only now did Melody realize that he hadn't been forced into their engagement. It had been voluntary.

She didn't know how to react at that moment.

…

Andrew drove Denvin and Krystal home.

The car was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Looking at Denvin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, he said, displeased, "Why have you been hanging around Melody so much recently?"

Denvin had drunk quite a bit that night. Though he could handle his alcohol well enough to the point where he wasn't actually drunk, he wasn't feeling that great either.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and answered nonchalantly, "She's my employee now. Am I supposed to pay her to stay at home rather than coming into work?"
