Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 841 - Bab 850

“When did you know? Why didn’t you tell me?” Melanie excitedly asked a series of questions. She thought perhaps it was because she had been too busy at the temporary hospital recently and hadn’t had the chance to talk to Annie, which was why Annie hadn’t told her. She was also feeling excited, thinking that Ermin would have a playmate when Annie’s baby was born! “I…” Annie furrowed her wavy eyebrows, feeling helpless. “I was talking about you!” As she spoke, Annie pushed aside Melanie’s wool coat and pointed at her belly. “In a few more months, the baby will be born…” Halfway through her sentence, Annie suddenly realized that something was off with Melanie’s belly… “Your belly… this…” “What’s wrong with you all? Who did my belly offend? Do you think I’ve gotten fat? Is it that ridiculous?” Melanie was completely speechless. “Fat?” Annie was even more puzzled. “You’re too thin! But no matter how thin… at this stage, you should show some signs of pregnancy…” What stage?

Annie originally intended to just show Melanie the address, but seeing Melanie's expression change, she cautiously probed, "Is there something wrong with the address?" "Mm..." "What is it?" Annie asked, both nervous and excited. "…Nothing." Melanie hesitated for a moment, then decided not to say more. Annie pouted, "You’re not telling me again..." "I don't know how to explain it. I'll tell you once it doesn't need to be kept secret," Melanie apologized. Annie waved her hand, indicating it was fine. "It's getting late. Let's go back and see my godson!" She said this while linking arms with Melanie as they left the restaurant. Along the way, Annie kept chattering, saying she had brought many gifts for Ermin. Melanie half-heartedly listened, her mind still on that address. 700 Lucy Street. When she went to find Jefford in the field that day, Jefford had told her about his secret contact point, and the address was also 700 Lucy Street! There was only one Lucy Street in

"He’s Jeffrey’s father, yes, but he has other identities too..."Jeffrey tried to cover up, keeping his gaze sincere and unwavering."True. His identity is sensitive." Melanie nodded, still scrutinizing his reaction. "Quentin is also someone Linda holds a grudge against. Now, with your family’s internal struggle at a critical point... since Linda wants Quentin on the streets, why did you take the risk to shelter him?""Quentin has a say in who will be heir to the Yancey family," Jeffrey replied evasively."Is it because of the other jade ring?" Melanie’s eyes sparkled as she asked."You know about that?" Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed.He hadn’t expected her to know so much...Melanie pressed her lips together. "Before, in Delfino, Quentin met with me. He told me that the Yancey family jade ring is in two pieces. One is enough for public display, but to be recognized as the legitimate heir of the Yancey family, you need to hold both pieces to gain the board’s approval.""Exactly, that

The more Melanie thought about it, the more frightened she became. Tiny beads of sweat formed on her nose.Just then, her phone rang. She quickly regained her composure and answered it."Melanie, I'm outside the gate, I won't come in." Gabriel was here to pick her up."Okay, I'll be right out." Melanie quickly touched up her makeup with some powder before heading out."You look beautiful today," Gabriel sincerely complimented her."Really?" Melanie replied listlessly."This traditional dress suits you perfectly, and the color is lovely," Gabriel praised, trying his best to be genuine in his compliments."Didn't you notice I've gained a bit of weight?" Melanie deliberately asked as she stood by the car door."Not at all!"Gabriel dared not mention her weight gain, especially her stomach. He didn't even dare to look at it for fear of upsetting her.Melanie sighed inwardly. Well, whether she was getting thicker around the waist was something only she knew for sure.In the car

"You’re wearing a traditional dress again today!" Jeffrey set the tone for their skit, "Didn’t you say you only wear traditional dresses for someone you like?""I came with Gabriel, so I obviously wore it for him," Melanie replied with a natural touch of pride."You didn’t used to like Gabriel!" Jeffrey’s voice grew emotional and harsh."Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Mr. Yancey. Since you ran away from the engagement, I realized that Gabriel and I are a perfect match!""And what makes you two such a perfect match?!""Our personalities complement each other. We can talk about anything, and we’re in sync.""In sync, just in conversation, huh?! Hah, can his aloof and indifferent demeanor match you in bed?!" Jeffrey naturally brought up the topic a few spoiled brats had been discussing earlier.He obviously knew that Linda actually instigated the discussion about Melanie among those young heirs! Now he was tying their conversation to make Linda, who was eavesdropping, beli
