252 Rejection

"Marry you?" Melody shook her head with a firm resolve. "No, it's too late for that."

Morgan knitted his brows. "What do you mean it's too late?"

"That ship has sailed."

His expression hardened slightly. "Is this decision related to Damien Grimshaw, the man I saw you having dinner with?"

Her gaze flickered, and she hesitated for a moment before responding. "That's none of your business, Morgan."

"I'm making it my business, Mel. If there's any chance for us to move forward, I deserve to know the truth."

"Damien is not the reason why I can't marry you. It's more complicated than that."

"Complicated how?"

Melody let out a sigh, her gaze dropping for a moment before she looked back at him. "Complicated in a way that you wouldn't understand. It's not just about him, it's about a lot more than that."

"Is it about the baby?" Morgan looked at her inquiringly.
