A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 146

"Jeremy." Melody interrupted Jeremy with an anxious but soft tone. "I don't want to be in the promotional video, and it's not about the video. What I care about is why, as my boyfriend, you chose Krystal."

This was the question she had been thinking about for the past few days. She knew the rumors circulating in the department, and she was aware that people were speculating that they would break up.

She looked up at him, her eyes filled with shattered light. "Jeremy, I need an explanation, too. Is that okay?"

There was no denying that Jeremy was exceptionally handsome. However, at this moment, he appeared even colder than usual.

He lowered his gaze. There was little emotion in his black eyes, which were instead filled with calm. "What's the difference? Do you think that just because I'm your boyfriend, I should unconditionally be on your side? Why should I?"

Melody was left speechless by his rhetorical question.

Jeremy continued, "You should know that I won't lose my stance or principles just because we're in a relationship, or engaged.

"The vote was organized by the department, and everyone has the right to express their opinions. I don't think you're suitable, so I voted for Krystal. It's that simple. I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of it."

After saying that, he moved to leave, but just before opening the door, he paused and looked back at her. "I think it's necessary to clarify something. Even though I said I'd take responsibility for you, that doesn't mean I'm your possession."

With that, he left, leaving her alone in the small room, feeling suffocated.

It seemed like she and Jeremy was in an emotional stalemale. Although he had always been distant with her, this time, it had escalated to the point of complete disregard.

…

On several occasions, when he went to the nurse station, he even called out to Tiffany, even though Melody was clearly right there.

As a result, the rumors about Melody and Jeremy breaking up became more widespread.

Melody visibly withered.

Harold could only try to advise Jeremy. "Jeremy, what's going on with you and Melody? You both are clearly not acting like yourselves lately."

If he had promised to take responsibility for Melody, he would do so, no matter what.

Harold shrugged. "You might not have said it, but your actions have said a lot. You should realize how hurt Melody must be right now. You should make time to talk to her, or else you'll regret it. There are plenty of people in the hospital who have their eyes on her."

Once Harold left, Jeremy's expression darkened. He didn't like his private matters being discussed, and he certainly didn't like rumors being spread.

The day he and Melody became involved, he promised to take responsibility for her, even if he didn't have any romantic feelings for her.

He had convinced himself that the emotional fluctuations he felt around Melody were simply due to a protective instinct.

Maybe there was a little possessiveness too, but it was only because they had shared the most intimate relationship.

…

After work, Felicia called Melody and asked if she wanted to have dinner together.
