A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 88

Melody paused for a moment. "Why?"

Jeremy replied, "There are documents in the back. Don't mess them up."

She froze, and the thought that had just surfaced in her mind sank again. She was being foolish—what was she expecting?

Once they got in the car, both of them remained silent. She didn't know what to say since he was always like this.

If she did not initiate a conversation, he could easily treat her as if she didn't exist.

Lowering her gaze, she suddenly noticed something shiny near her feet. She bent down and picked it up. It was a delicate, thin necklace.

As her eyelashes trembled slightly, she asked softly, "Why is there a necklace in your car?"

He glanced at it briefly, thought for a moment, and said, "It's probably something Krystal accidentally left behind."

A necklace wasn't like a bracelet or a watch—it was worn around the neck. How could it just fall off?

She pressed her lips together as she paled.

Then, she recalled the way Jeremy and Krystal smiled when they walked out of the study together. It meant that they mingled well.

He didn't know how to answer her question, so he stayed silent.

Melody gripped the necklace tightly, after which she asked something that had burdened her. "Jeremy, do you know what it means to be in a relationship?"

A faint crease appeared between his brows. "I do."

She froze, and a sharp pain spread through her chest. She knew he didn't love her, which was why she worked so hard to improve herself and excel in everything she did.

Her friends called her foolish, but she did it willingly because of her feelings for him. She thought she had prepared herself for this. After loving him for a decade, she never intended to burden him with her feelings, yet hearing him say it so definitely still hurt her to the core.

Even when the car pulled into the underground parking lot, the dull ache in her chest hadn't faded.

He reached out. "Give me the necklace."

Melody looked at him blankly.

Jeremy's perfectly sculpted face revealed no emotion. He explained in a cold tone, "Krystal wouldn't want you to be the one returning it. Don't make things uncomfortable for everyone again."

As she handed the necklace back, her hands trembled.
