However, Jeffrey had barely taken a few steps before he recalled Melanie's words. "If you don't stop following me, I'll kill myself!" She had yelled at him angrily.He had never heard her saying anything like that…He was not sure if it was said in the heat of the moment…Jeffrey knew that pregnant women were easily affected by hormonal secretion that resulted in big mood swings. What if she became depressed and really did something to hurt herself?This stopped him from moving forward.Coincidentally, he caught a glimpse of a store by the street. It was running a promotion, and several mascots were handing out advertisements. Jeffrey's eyes narrowed. He started walking in that direction…-Melanie cried sadly for a while.She felt a little cold.This was when a clumsy-looking, brown bear mascot approached her with a cup of beverage. It even stood in front of her, shaking his head and wriggling its body.It looked awkward but adorable.While she hesitated, the bear mascot po
After dinner, it was still early. Melanie changed into comfortable loungewear and prepared to read a little before going to bed.She had just turned to the bookmarked page when her phone rang."Hello, Madam Melanie! I'm the driver from this afternoon, Zac!" The other person exclaimed in an excited voice.'Madam Melanie? The driver, Zac?'Melanie had to think for a moment before recalling his face.It turned out to be Jefford's assistant who had been driving Jefford around.Jefford just bragged that they were married not long ago, and his subordinates were already addressing her as Madam Melanie… Truly efficient!"Can I help you?" Her attitude turned cold."Here's the thing, Madam Melanie. The president went to meet a few senior shareholders after returning. They intentionally crafted a story against him based on how you treated him…" Zac explained the matter in the way William had told him to.Melanie raised her eyebrows slightly. "And?""I'm calling you because I'd like to a
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
The person who walked through the door was no ordinary being.She was practically the ideal daughter-in-law for all the board members in the room…She seemed approachable, elegant, composed, and sincere. Most importantly, she only looked at the man she loved as if nobody else existed… It was evident she only wanted the best for the man she loved.This was the ideal kind of woman a rich man would want for a wife!A board member who wanted to intimidate Melanie as soon as she walked in could not bring himself to speak up…The other board members looked at each other.They all had heard about Melanie taking over the York family recently. She was smart and decisive. From her interviews to the events she attended, everyone acknowledged her as a capable businesswoman.Today…She looked like a completely different person…Jeffrey was equally taken aback by the person who had walked into the meeting room. He subconsciously stood up to greet her.He hardly ever saw her like this. He n
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
"It's getting late. That's precisely why I need to go back and rest." Melanie tried to pull away from Jeffrey.However, he was reluctant to let her go. "Your body hasn't fully recovered. The trip back will tire you out. You'll be exhausted. Spend the night here. I'll get them to set up the bed for you. I promise it'll be soft.""This is your turf. It won't look good.""We just announced our relationship publicly. Isn't it only normal for you to spend the night here?" Jeffrey insisted."If you think it's unfair, I'll spend the night at your place tomorrow. What do you think?" He added."No!" She refused immediately.Was this ever going to end?Why did fairness even matter if one of them spent the night at the other's place?Seeing how Melanie had made up her mind, Jeffrey frantically thought of ways to make her stay. This was when he suddenly heard raindrops falling outside.He glanced outside the window. God was on his side!"Do you hear that? It's raining. The road isn't saf
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
The temperature skyrocketed in the elevator.Melanie and Jeffrey stood side by side. Even when the fabric of their clothes touched ever so slightly, she would feel tense.If Jeffrey was the only one who could make her blush like this, now…'I have to figure this out from the very beginning…' She thought to herself.-Security was in place in the lobby on the first floor. The reporters all had to stand outside the restricted zone. However, they all held their cameras up and scrambled to capture the image of them showing up together."Last night, Miss Melanie personally delivered food to Master Jefford. This morning, Master Jefford is seen sending Miss Melanie home. They started being overly intimate as soon as they went public with their relationship!""This is what a fair relationship looks like!""They already have the ultimate product of love. This baby really knows how to choose his family… He's going to inherit the wealth of two major companies!"The reporters gossiped and
