Chapter 22
The strong contrast stimulated Jordan’s self-esteem, making him feel ashamed.
In front of his rival, Jordan’s face turned bright red.
Not to mention the rival, who looked down on him like he was an insignificant ant.
As soon as Melanie saw Colin, she fluttered into his arms like a butterfly.
Her face was adorned with a radiant smile that Jordan hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Colin, you’re back!”
“Well, how was your day today? Did you miss me?”
“Today was fine,” Melanie glanced at Jordan, who was kneeling, with a meaningful look.

trying to salvage a glimmer of hope for this relationship.
