Jeffrey brought Maximilian upstairs to Melanie's room.Melanie stood up and looked Maximilian up and down. Maximilian did the same thing to her with an odd look in his eyes."Mr. Maximilian, isn't there something you'd like to tell me?" She asked.Maximilian remained silent."If my grandfather was still alive, why hasn't he shown up all these years? Eagle was taken away by Leo. After two months of resting, he could come back anytime for revenge. Since my grandfather is worried about me and wants to protect me, why hasn't he shown up? What is he waiting for?" She added."He's waiting for Eagle to appear." Maximilian sighed while he started answering her questions."But Eagle may appear very soon," Melanie said.Jeffrey also shared with Maximilian the address of the island Mr. Oliver had invited them to. "If things are as expected, Eagle, Leo, and Nathan are probably all hiding there.""Just as I predicted." Maximilian sat down."Well? When is my grandfather going to show up?" M
Carson still had his doubts.Jeffrey walked over and placed his hand on Melanie's shoulder. "Mr. Maximilian, please remove your mask. To tell you the truth, I've known you for many years, and your face has always looked ugly to me. Your real face won't scare anyone…"Carson glared at Jeffrey. "Kid, if it wasn't for me, you'd be dead!""Mr. Maximilian, you're Melanie's grandfather. Saving me is the equivalent of saving your grandson-in-law." Jeffrey tried to ease the tension.This made Maximilian even more upset. He raised his voice. "How could you say that? I honestly regret saving you! Melanie has only ever suffered after marrying you!""...""Grandpa…" Melanie shook Carson's arm.Ever since Carson admitted who he was, he stopped pretending to speak like Maximilian. He spoke with his own voice. Melanie found it very soothing."I'll stop lying to you. My face was burned. I don't even want to see it myself. I also don't want to frighten you or my great grandson," Carson insisted
Going to the island this time was not a casual affair like going on a business trip.For luggage alone, Jeffrey had his men prepare five huge suitcases.Although Melanie did not personally ask about it, according to Professor Turner, these suitcases contained the equipment Jeffrey prepared in case Melanie had to deliver her baby.Yancey Group had its own tarmac for planes.After they arrived there in a car, Jeffrey happened to be on the phone. Melanie got out of the car and waited.Jeffrey's phone call had yet to end when somebody else arrived.The woman with heavy makeup was a little surprised to see Melanie, but she still greeted Melanie with a fake smile on her face. "Melanie? I wasn't expecting you to go on this trip.""Do you know where I'm going?" Melanie stood still while she looked at Yvette. They had not met in a long time."Of course. Mr. Oliver invited Master Jefford to meet him. Everyone in the business community is talking about it. Why wouldn't I know?" Yvette bru
Melanie was practically laughing hysterically.Jeffrey continued holding her while they walked forward. "Alright. Was it really that funny?""It was."Melanie could not help but bend at the waist while she laughed."Alright, alright. Watch out for the baby." Jeffrey caressed her stomach."It's your fault for making me laugh." Melanie gently bumped her fist against him."You came up with the plot. I just ran with it."Yvette, who stood behind them, watched them interacting like a real couple. She was furious.Was Melanie really that attractive?Master Jefford was actually willing to accept another person's child just to make her happy. He was clearly cheated on.On the same note, was Yvette herself that unattractive?This was mind-boggling to her…-On the plane, Jeffrey found Melanie the most comfortable seat.Her stomach was so big that he needed to be careful when buckling her seatbelt. Every now and then, he would adjust her seatbelt so that she and their baby would fe
On the island, Mr. Oliver's bodyguard led them all the way to the heart of the island."My wife is having a hard time walking. Do you have a wheelchair or something? If you don't, we have one on the boat. We can go back and get it," Jeffrey said.They had not made it that far yet. The bodyguard was worried they might have some tricks up their sleeves, and he nodded decisively. Soon, a wheelchair was brought forward. Jeffrey wheeled Melanie down the path ahead.Once they made it to the living room's entrance, the bodyguard reached out and stopped them. "Mr. Oliver is waiting for the two of you in the living room. The rest of you will have to stay back."Melanie and Jeffrey looked at each other. Melanie got up from her wheelchair. She held Jeffrey's hand and walked into the room.Mr. Oliver was sitting on a couch in the living room. There was a young, bald man behind him."Mr. Oliver, it's good to see you at last." Jeffrey and Melanie greeted him politely after walking in.He was
"Shall we go to the tub or…?" Jeffrey asked while he took off his clothes."Can you fit in the tub?" Melanie pulled him into the bathroom."I can only take a shower while standing," she added."I'll help you with washing."After removing his clothes, he helped her with removing hers.Melanie subconsciously reached for his hands. Her cheeks were flushed.She knew he wanted to take a shower together so that they could talk without being listened to, but…-Melanie looked at Jeffrey and blinked. Were they really taking a shower?What else would they be doing?Jeffrey winked at her. "We should rest after taking a shower. Do you not want to shower?"Melanie secretly let out a sigh.He was Jeffrey.They got married a long time ago. He had seen her completely naked… Why was she embarrassed?After making up her mind, she let go of his hand.Jeffrey smiled and began to unbutton her clothes.He then gently placed her clothes on the hanger outside.The changes in her body after b
Jeffrey stepped forward, forcing Melanie to step backward.He controlled the pace and, just before her back touched the wall, lifted his hand for her to use as padding such that her back pressed against his palm.Her protruding stomach kept him just far away enough for him to lean forward and kiss her.They were both into it.The thrill was immense. He even supported her stomach with his other hand so that she could feel as comfortable as possible.It was not until he felt her delayed response and heavy breathing that he stopped. "Are you tired?" He asked while pressing his forehead against hers."A little bit.""Let's get you cleaned up first…"He stopped what he was doing. After helping her stand upright, he started rinsing her upper body.It was the first time in as long as she could remember that someone other than her parents had bathed her. His smooth touch stirred up the excitement that was building inside her. She felt ripples in her chest.After he was done cleaning
Soon, Kenneth arrived.He also panicked when he saw Melanie curled up and in pain."Kenneth, what do we do? What are the instructions?" The maid asked."It's not time yet. We don't have the right to do anything to her…" Kenneth replied."Are we really going to let her deliver her baby?" The maid was panicking.Melanie covered her face with her hair and secretly analyzed what they had said.It was not the time yet. They could not do anything to her. Indeed, Nathan must have instructed them to kill everyone when the time was right.But it was not the time yet. They did not dare to let her die. Unexpectedly, she was about to deliver a baby…"Get a doctor!" Kenneth instructed."Until the time is right, we should not take any risks," he added."Got it!" The maid answered before hurrying out the door.They were going to die anyway. When the time came, the baby would die with them…"Help me…"Melanie groaned and looked up. She saw two other guards standing near the door. Only Ken
