Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 971 - Bab 980

"Why isn't it possible?" Jeffrey asked."As you've seen, I trust Mr. Lincoln. Mom trusts him more than I do. All these years, he's been working for my father without a word of complaint. Apart from my parents, he's the greatest contributor to Jones Enterprise. Why would I suspect Mr. Lincoln of doing anything?" Melanie asked.Jeffrey raised his eyebrows. "He worked very hard when your father was still around, but he was in no hurry to gain some benefits after your father passed away either. Instead, he's been fully supportive of your mother and consequently you as well. Don't you find that odd?"Seeing he was getting through to Melanie, Jeffrey continued to speak. "Everybody is selfish to some degree. Based on how well you knew him, do you think he had any ulterior motives?"Melanie thought hard before sharking her head.Mr. Lincoln was never married, had no children, and remained single all his life. It seemed… He was not interested in anything… However, he had worked in Melanie'

At night, Professor Turner went to Maximilian's house according to plan. There, he and several other well-known doctors had academic exchanges.At the approximated time, Melanie sent Professor Turner a message. "Professor, has Maximilian shown up yet?""He's on the second floor. I can see his silhouette," Professor Turner replied."It's not ten past seven. I'll call Professor Marshall after five minutes. Let's switch to a video call now. Point your camera at Maximilian's silhouette on the second floor," Melanie instructed."Okay. I'll find a good angle," Professor Turner replied mischievously.Melanie took a deep breath and rubbed her stomach. "Baby, Mommy's getting a little excited. Please don't mind my suddenly rapid heartbeat."For a few minutes, she clutched her phone and found it hard to sit still in her room.It was at this time that somebody knocked on the door.She glanced at the clock. There was only a minute left.Melanie walked to the door and opened it. Just as she

"What is this?" Jeffrey was stunned.He saw Melanie charging into his room. She even locked the door behind her.If she had not brought stuff in her purse, his thoughts would have gone astray…A drop of water from his hair went into his eye. He raised his hand to wipe it away. Before he could see what Melanie had brought, somebody appeared at the door."Mel-... Dr. Jones…"The staff hesitated entering the room when he saw them inside the room.That was because Jeffrey did not have any clothes on… In fact, he was still soaked…"What is it?"Melanie walked over to the staff as if the naked guy next to her was not even there…"Oh… The professor wanted me to tell you that something happened to your mother, but he said not to worry because it isn't a big deal!" He explained.Even if it was not a big deal, it was still worrying news for Melanie…Melanie's excitement instantly turned into anxiety.She initially wanted to show Jefford the documents, but it was too late now. She hel

"To be honest, I felt you belonged to the York family the first time I saw you. You're smart, decisive, and good at perfumery. Although the truth of your birth was kept a secret, we still found each other…"Joseph continued speaking excitedly. "I haven't been able to acknowledge you all these years. I'm sorry for all that you've been through…"Melanie blinked.She did not feel the same way he did.That was because she had grown up with her parents. Life was not difficult for her at all. In fact, she believed her childhood was much better than someone who grew up in the York family."Are… You certain?" Melanie asked."The evidence is right in front of me. Besides, I know it in my heart… Why wouldn't I be?" Joseph replied.Melanie was dumbfounded. She looked at Eliza before turning to Jefford. None of them knew what was going on."When will you come back?" Joseph asked."I… I suppose in a few days," Melanie replied."Alright… I'll hold a grand welcoming ceremony for you! Don't

"Yeah."Melanie nodded and continued walking forward.Jeffrey gave her a hand. "What's the matter? Are you not in a good mood?""I'm not quite sure."Melanie looked down. She was troubled by her own thoughts.To be honest, she knew about her identity long ago. However, now that it was out in the open, it did not feel as relieving as she had imagined. On the contrary, she wasn't sure about returning to the York family. How would they treat her? How would she deal with pretentious family members?She felt too exhausted to even make up her mind."If you feel tired, you don't have to go back so soon. There's no rush." Jeffrey seemed to be able to read her mind.Melanie looked at him in surprise. How did he know what she was thinking? Was he able to read her mind?"Do I look funny?" Jeffrey touched his face.He was worried she walked too fast earlier and would hurt herself. He did not even have time to change his undershirt. After grabbing a coat, he directly ran after her. He had
