„Melody’s eyes widened for a second, but she quickly held back her reaction
Jeremy lowered his gaze, watching her and waiting for an anviver.
To be honest, his thoughts were a mess.
When he heard Laura and Ophelia talking about breaking off the engagement, he didn’t feel relieved as if a problem had been solved. Instead, he felt even more
He couldn’t understand where this feeling was coming from.
Melody suppressed the emotions chaming inside her, trying to keep her expression neutral. She asked, “Do you want to?”
If he said yes.
Melody took a deep breath, her hands tightening by her sides.
Abitter taste spread armss her lips.
If he wanted to break ott the mmgagement, she would agree.
But after a brief silence, Jeremy simply said, “I’ll respect your wishes.”
Melody softly replied, “You should know by now that I don’t have a say in this.”

She indeed had no control in most matters, but if she told Andrew now that she wanted to call off the engagement, he would agree without hesitation.
It had become an unsolvable problem
Jeremy’s expression remained unchanged,
He didn’t press the question any further. Instead, he glanced at the beer Melody had brought and flatly said, “Why’d you bring this?–

Anostalgic look crossed Melody’s face. She picked up a can of beer, opened it, and placed it in the spot where they’d used to sit.
She softly said, “jeremy, it’s been a long time since we’ve just sat together like this.”
Back then, even doing nothing together felt ice hut later on, Jeremy got busier, and he became even more distant.

She pressed her lips together and sat down beside him
She had been se all day. Even now, she hadn’t fully relaxed,
She picked up a can of beer, popped it open, and took a small sip.
The bitterness mixed with the malt flavor spread across her tongue. But for some reason, she felt a faint, unexplainable excitement while drinking in.
At the next second, a hand reached over and took her beer away.
Jeremy looked down at Melody with slightly furrowed brows. Itis eyes seemed to be able to draw her in

When they reached the guesthouse, he suddenly said, “Go upstairs and get your things.”
Melody had just reached for the car door handle when she paused. Then, she heard him say, “This place isn’t suitable for living.”
Melody had moved out of the bored from before and found a new guesthouse.
