NovelGoldChapter 1493:
“Maybe that’s for the best,” Franco sounded tired. “It hurts less when he’s the one walking away.”
Their daughter looked confused. “What are you talking about?”
Franco and Kate exchanged glances. They hadn't planned to tell her the truth, but when she pressed harder,
they gave in.
“How could you?” she burst out, anger flashing across her face. “Didn't you say you wanted to make it up to
him?”
“He didn’t want it,” Kate panicked, fumbling for excuses. “He was cold the whole time. And now he’s marrying
into a rich family. Maybe it’s for the best.”
“Is that true?” Their daughter narrowed her eyes, clearly skeptical.
“Would your mother lie to you?” Franco stepped in, his voice coaxing. “That money's for your house. Just take it
and don’t worry about the rest.”
She stared at them, silent for a long time. But deep down, she had made up her mind. After things settled, she
would go to Alerith herself. She wanted to find Melvin, wanted to hear from him directly. That kind of money
didn’t ceasily.
“GiveMelvin’s number.” She spoke suddenly, catching them off guard.
“He said he didn’t want to stay in contact. Better if you don’t bother him,” Kate said, repeating Melvin’s words.
“If you want to thank him, I'll pass the message.”
Hearing that, the girl stopped asking.
Across town, Melvin was already at the airport.
His phone buzzed twice. He glanced at the screen. Kate's message popped up. He just ignored it.
Sitting beside him in the terminal, Jessica leaned against his shoulder. Her heart was heavy with guilt. “It’s my

“It’s not your fault.” Melvin ran his hand gently through her hair. The weight of sorrow still hung over him, but
he'd already accepted it. “If it weren't for you, | might never have been able to face her. Might never have known
how unneeded I really was.”
“Do you have any relatives who were good to you?” Jessica asked, her voice soft.
“Not really. After they split, | didn’t stay hanymore.” Melvin’s childhood had been lonely. “No one reached
out to me. | didn’t reach out to anyone either.”

“Then who should we invite to our wedding?” Jessica asked carefully, already thinking ahead.
“Whoever you want.” Melvin left the decision to her. “I've only got Gerard, Freya, and a few people from the
company.”
