A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 562

Chapter 562

Valentine's Day was just around the corner. Sage packed her things and was getting ready to headback to Salem City to attend the racecourse launch party.

Yoel, as one of the partners, was attending as well. Melody, on the other hand, was heading back toMostal with Ross.

Melody had been massaging and doing chiropractic treatment for Yoel since he injured his lowerback. Melody might seem like a playful child at times, but medically, she was skillful. Yoel andMelody bonded over time and formed a special friendship.

For Yoel, that “special friendship’ between them was built upon the fact that Melody had helpedtreat him with chiropractic, and in return, he would let go of the pistachio incident.

However, his generosity was not what Melody was after. “Brother Rich, will you miss me when I'mgone?” Melody asked with her big sparkly doe eyes, staring at Yoel with anticipation

Yoel had been stared at by plenty of women before, but he was overwhelmed by Melody's gaze. Hedodged her gaze and said, “I...I think so.” “Really?” Melody asked with a bright smile on her face.“You must think of me every day, okay?” Yoel was surprised by her absurd request and chuckled. “Ihave to think about you every single day now?”

Yoel had never in his life thought about a woman every single day before, of course, nor had hethought about men. “Of course!” Melody was determined. “If you think about me every day, you'llbe too busy to think and date other women.” “But I have to start dating. I'm getting old. If I don’tstart looking, I'll end up alone. Do you want me to grow old alone?” Yoel said.

“You won't. You have me,” Melody said with a serious tone. “Wait for me, I'll be graduating in ayear's time. After that, I'll look for a university closer to where you are so we could live together.”Living together, she said...

"You better focus on your studies and make sure you get into a university. Don't think about thosethings for now, young lady,” said Yoel. Melody scoffed lightly and said, “Don’t underestimate me, Ihave really good grades. And if I'm not allowed to think about those things, you can't as well. Don'teven think about doing things. We have to be fair to each other.”

Yoel nodded and hummed yes half-heartedly as if trying to convince a child. “Pinky promise?”Melody reached her pinky finger out to Yoel.

Yoel's eyes widened, “Pinky, what now?”

The last time Yoel made such a childish gesture was when he was in kindergarten! He refused!"Cross my heart, hope to die!”

Yoel's refusal was rejected. Melody dragged his pinky out forcefully and hooked hers onto his. Sheeven stamped her thumb on his and said, “First person to break the promise will be punished withtorn underwear!”

"Woah, how scary.” Yoel was mainly surprised by how immature Melody was.

Melody, on the other hand, was satisfied.

Ross’ impatient voice was heard coming from outside, “Melody, it's time! Let's go!”

“Coming!”

Melody waved Yoel goodbye. “Bye, Brother Rich! You must think about me. You have to...” Shealmost ran into the door. She then blew a kiss to Yoel before closing the door behind her.

Yoel was not sure whether to laugh or to cry.

The corner of his lips lifted as he mumbled to himself, “Kids these days...” Together, Freya, Ross, andthe rest began their journey to Mostal at the Nadeem City Airport.
