Chapter 191: It’s All an Act

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: It’s All an ActMelody Yoody scowled at James Brown and said, "I mean it, old classmate, it’s wrong of you. A woman as great as Mr. Lopez is hard to come by even if you light a lantern to

James nodded, "Yes, exactly. It was then that Emma came to my place, and I agreed to be her boyfriend."

Melody snorted, "So, it turns out I pushed her into your arms."

James cracked a slight smile, "Melody, didn’t you say we should just be friends? I think that’s nice."

Suddenly, Melody grabbed James’s hand and twisted it, angrily saying, "You jerk, now that you have a girlfriend, of course everything feels nice."

"You’re the one who said it; don’t blame me." James felt quite aggrieved.

Melody Yoody gave him a sharp look, "Don’t you know that women often don’t mean what they say?"

"So what do you really want?" James was genuinely at a loss.

Seeing his frustrated expression, Melody Yoody suddenly burst into laughter, laughing heartily for a while before saying scornfully, "You self-satisfied fool. You really think if I leave you, I can’t live? Let me tell you, you’ve been a huge burden on my mind, and now I’ve finally let it go. You have no idea how relieved I feel now."

James couldn’t quite believe what Melody was saying and tentatively asked, "You’re not messing with me?"

"Why would I mess with you? You already have a girlfriend."

"Thank you, Melody."

"Enough with the sappy talk. You really helped me out this time. Tell me, how can I thank you?"

James laughed heartily, "Thank me? It’s mutual benefit. Besides, with our connection, why would we bother with thanks? If you asked me to put my head on the line, I’d still do it."

"You know what’s good for you," Melody said proudly, tilting her chin up. She still looked just like the Melody Yoody he had known seven or eight years ago.

After dropping Melody Yoody off at her home, James drove away, while Melody Yoody stood in the shadows, lingering for a long time. Her expression was complex, mostly filled with sadness and reluctance.
