Chapter 1502:
Over the next hour, Turner and Jayda sat eating while Melvin stayed quiet, simply waiting.
When they'd finished, he paid the bill and said, “I booked a hotel for you both. You can head htomorrow.”
Turner slammed his hand down on the table.
“What did you just say to me?”
“I'm not going back with you,” Melvin said evenly, unmoved by Turner's outburst. “Even if you call the police, it
won't make a difference.”
“Let's not get into it now,” Jayda said quickly, trying to smooth things over. “Your dad barely ever visits Alerith.
Why not take him around the city? A bit of sightseeing won't do us any harm.”
Melvin turned and gave her a long, cold stare. He didn’t say a word, but the way he looked at her made her feel
like the temperature had dropped ten degrees.
Jayda swallowed hard and forced a smile. “Sound good?”
“He’s your guest. You take him sightseeing,” Melvin said, his voice completely detached. “I've got work. | don’t
have tfor this.”
“But tomorrow's the weekend!” Jayda protested.
Melvin ignored her and confirmed the hotel reservation.
When Turner heard they'd be staying at a hotel, his pride immediately flared. “Why a hotel? My own son has a
place here, and you expectto stay somewhere else? | call the way out here!”

Melvin didn’t say a word. He simply drove them to the hotel entrance.
“You can stay here or sleep on a park bench. Your call,” he said flatly.
Turner opened his mouth to protest, but Jayda, taking one look at the upscale hotel, pulled him aside. “Let's just
stay here. This place is five stars. It's expensive.”
“I'm not staying!” Turner snapped, thoroughly unimpressed.

All he could think was that his son had slipped completely out of his grasp.
“Let's get settled in first,” Jayda kept her voice low. “We can talk to him again later. Maybe he just needs tto
process us showing up like this.”
“Process what?” Turner growled.
Through it all, Melvin stayed silent.

“What are you saying?” Jayda gave a clueless smile.
Melvin’s eyes were sharp, his presence heavy with quiet authority. “You've got one shot to tellthe truth.

“It was his idea. He said he wanted to visit you...” she mumbled.
