A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 429

Tessa held Melody by her shoulder, looking heartbroken. She couldn't help shedding tears as well, soothing, "You're a wonderful person. In fact, you are perfect in my book. Theo is the one with poor taste in ladies. How about you stop loving him and find someone else for yourself instead?"

Truth be told, she believed that Douglas was a good man. Although his career couldn't hold a candle to Theo's, he was loving. Melody's happiness was all but guaranteed if she became his wife.

It was a shame that Melody didn't see things this way.

"I-I don't want to have feelings for him if I could, but I-I just can't help it." Then, she clutched her chest and cried her heart out.

Tessa had expected as much. She could persuade Melody for as long as she wanted but still be unable to change Melody's mind. No matter what happened, Melody's feelings for Theo would never fizzle out.

Douglas chuckled bitterly, feeling deeply disappointed and dejected. Perhaps it was time for him to give up on Melody as well.

…

"You might not be able to control your feelings, but can't you control the accident at the party?" Gordon reprimanded her the moment he stepped through the door.

Abigail came upstairs with him and hurriedly shot a look at Melody, warning her to think before replying.

However, Melody was still heartbroken that Theo had publicly proposed to Sierra. She was in no mood to care about anything else, let alone Gordon's reproach.

Gordon's anger intensified when he saw that Melody ignored him. Glancing at Tessa and Douglas, he plastered a smile and politely thanked them. "I appreciate you guys for caring for Melody today. I'll call you two over for a meal sometime."

Tessa cast a concerned glance at Melody and rose to her feet. "Mr. Jones, you're too kind. Melody and I are best friends, and this is what I should do. I'll be taking my leave now."

Gordon nodded in response. Then, he informed Abigail, "See them out."

Douglas gave Melody a soulful look before he walked out as well. "Melody, I'll see you again."
