Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 1041 - Bab 1050

Half an hour later, the maid who came to deliver clothes to Melanie could not help but blink several times when she saw her. "Miss Melanie… You look beautiful tonight…""Aren't I always?" Melanie teased.Ever since Melanie moved into the York family as the heiress, this maid had been the one who looked after her. They were close enough for Melanie to joke around."No, that's not what I mean. You're usually beautiful too. It's just that… I've never seen you with makeup like this," the maid explained."I was only kidding. Relax." Melanie laughed.She looked at her reflection in the mirror and raised her eyebrows. "It seems both men and women find beautiful women irresistible…""Miss Melanie, will you wear this?"The maid knew what Melanie usually wore. She picked out a black-and-white dress from the hanger and showed it to Melanie."It's too boring." Melanie shook her head.She rummaged through the hanger herself before finally choosing a beige dress. Instead of a normal coat, s

After seeing enough evidence of Linda's crime and incarceration, as well as the intimate scene between Master Jefford and Melanie, the board members could not sit still any longer. Staying there would only add to the embarrassment."You all saw it for yourself. Our young master and Madam Melanie are deeply in love. They treat each other as equals. It's getting late. I'll have cars ready to send all of you home," Zac said."Ahh!"The board members had no other choice but to stand up and leave.Two of them, who had wanted to be rid of Linda a long time ago, felt relieved."Enough with the long face, my friend. Ever since Master Jefford took over the company, he's proven to be just as good as Miss Yancey, if not better. We've both seen it with our eyes. We'll have no issues retiring with all the money the group will make for us!" One of them said to the other."You're right!""There are rumors that Miss Melanie is a ruthless woman who managed to subdue the York family and become it

Jeffrey's hands just landed on Melanie's waist when she turned around and glared at him. "Master Jefford, have you forgotten about your promise? I'm sleeping on my own tonight!" She warned.Jeffrey's eyes glimmered. He pursed his lips tightly. "I'll do what I promised.""Is this how you'll do it?"She looked down at his hands that were still on her waist.He pursed his lips even more tightly. He then withdrew his hands. "It's dry…""Huh?""Your hair… It's dry…" Jeffrey smiled.Melanie glared at him in dismay. She flicked her hair to the side of her face. It certainly was dry."Thanks!"With that, she brushed him off and returned to the bedroom.To make sure she could sleep in peace, Jeffrey intentionally stayed in his office to work at his desk. He did not follow her into the bedroom.He focused on his work and only stood up when he felt sore in the back. He tiptoed to the bedroom only to find that she was already sound asleep…With her protruding stomach, Melanie had to sl

After the external conflict was resolved, and the guests were sent home, Richard walked Melanie out of the room."Grandpa seems to be in good spirits," Melanie said."Ahh."Richard sighed. "He was trying his best to put up a front when these people came to complain today. He even vomited blood this morning…""What did Professor Turner and Maximilian say?" Melanie asked.Richard shook his head. "There's nothing they can do."Previously, Maximilian and Professor Turner conferred together and tried the new neurotoxin treatment on Joseph. It was effective at first, but then things started going downhill. Joseph's condition alternated between good and bad…Now, Maximilian and Professor Turner were beginning to suspect that the note they found in the secret passage was probably not the final result of Eagle's research. That was why their treatment proved unfruitful.Things were not looking good for Joseph."Miss Melanie, you must be tired. Get some rest. I could tell Master York was

"It's raining too heavily. Why don't you spend the night here?" Professor Turner asked.Ever since Melanie found out the truth, he had been very careful with his words. He knew he had done something wrong."Okay."Melanie nodded while she looked at Jeffrey's medical records in her hands.Professor Turner started walking out of the room after seeing she had not looked up. "I'll get them to clean up the room for you…""Professor?""Yeah?"He stopped walking as soon as she called out to him."Don't tell Mom or Ermin that I'm here. I… I want to be alone for a while," she said."Okay." Professor agreed before stepping outside.Outside, the rain splattered against the windows. The sound it made was unnerving.After ascertaining that Jefford was Jeffrey, Melanie could understand why he wanted to keep it a secret from her. She knew he wanted to wait until she delivered her baby. Even so, she felt mixed emotions.This was originally the outcome she was hoping for. In fact, she did n
