NovelGoldChapter 1484:
Melvin gave a small nod but didn’t say much more.
Jessica, sharp as ever, asked, “Is something bugging you?”
“I don’t know,” Melvin admitted, his thoughts all over the place. Part of him wished his mother had just vanished
for good after walking out on him when he was a kid. Then maybe he could've cut her out completely.
But after he graduated from college, she somehow got his contact information and reached out. She started
asking how he was doing. At the time, she sounded sincere—she told him she had been forced to make those
decisions and even apologized.
He could turn icy and distant with anyone who wronged him, but when someone offered a genuine apology,
especially with remorse in their tone, he couldn't bring himself to stay completely numb. Especially if that person
was his mother... he couldn't harden his heart.
Maybe others wouldnt understand, but as a kid, he had always envied those who had their mother’s love. So
when Kate found him again years later, said sorry, and explained herself, his defenses gave way.
That was when it started—Kate would check in from tto time, and now and then, she would ask if he could
help someone from her partner’s family land a job. She always phrased it like a small favor.
“If you really can’t make up your mind, just flip a coin,” Jessica suggested with a cheeky grin, her voice light but
knowing. “Half the time, it's not even about the result—it's about what you're secretly hoping for while it’s still
up in the air.”
Melvin glanced at her, and for a fleeting second, the usual chill in his eyes softened, touched by the honesty in
her words. Like most people, he had that instinctive urge to share his happiness with Kate, but he wasn’t sure if

“If you're still on the fence, then listen to me,” Jessica declared, her tone easygoing but certain. “Just meet her
up.”
If he really didn’t want to go, he wouldn't be this conflicted. The fact that he was hesitating meant he actually
wanted to. So what was the point of overthinking? Just follow his heart.
“I don’t know her that well,” Melvin admitted plainly. He wasn’t lying—he genuinely had no clue what might
cof it if he went.

“That doesn’t matter. Strip away all the overthinking, and deep down, you want to go,” Jessica said, her voice
taking on a sincere and gentle edge. “It’s just dinner—not slife-or-death mission up Everest.”
“Should 1?” Melvin asked again, still unsure.
“Yes,” Jessica answered firmly.
