I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 468 No Descendants Harlow’s subordinate looked at where he was pointing at.

In the photo, Melanie and Yelena had just stood up from the bench in the garden and were turning to walk back to the base. In the subsequent photos that were shot, Melanie’s Jacket did little to cover up her swollen belly.

Her belly was growing fast. “Is it Jeffrey Morgan’s child?” his subordinate asked in surprise.

In his memory, Melanie always had a slender figure. That was why when he first got the photos, he didn’t even consider the possibility of her being pregnant. He simply thought that her clothes were overly-sized, and it was an issue of the camera angle and the wind puffing her dress up.

Now that he took a second look, it didn’t look like an issue of the camera angle at all. “Who cares whose child it is!” Harlow flung the stack of photos on the coffee table.

“If it really is Jeffrey Morgan’s child, I'll expose this secret and let Morgan Group continue being unstable! If it isn’t Jeffrey Morgan’s hmph! That'd be even more exciting! How dare she reject me in front of everyone. Now, everyone will know that she didn’t really want to reject me, and that she’s pregnant with a bastard’s child! Why would she dare accept my proposal?”

“Yes, Mr. York. That way, no one would dare gossip about you behind your back,” his subordinate chimed in eagerly. On the other end, one of Nathan’s men received news and hurriedly updated him about it.

“Mr. Quinn, you're simply brilliant! You knew Harlow would make a move the moment he saw those photos. He sent someone to force Melanie to make an appearance. Do you think she'll go

back to the York estate with Yelena?”

“Harlow York is a fool only concerned with getting his revenge over the fact that Melanie rejected him and embarrassed him in front of everyone. But given how spiteful he is, he might just succeed in forcing Melanie out to the surface. That would save us some time and effort.”

Nathan sneered.

“Melanie revealed Clement’s address to Jeffrey, and Clement ended up dying right there and then. Jeffrey subsequently got Eliza's flight details, and she ended up half—dead. As long as we put in place another accident, Jeffrey would definitely look guilty to Melanie. He'd have no chance of

“Sounds like a great plan, Mr. Quinn!” his subordinate sald, Impressed. “What does the one we're working with think?”

“He’s even more vicious than | am. He wants to see this through to the end.”

Nathan took a deep breath.

“Things are chaotic enough in the York family. Yelena is back with two children out of nowhere in tow. At this time, no matter whose child It Is In Melanie’s womb, It’s ultimately still her child. Would he be able to take it if Melanie were to carry another child of the York family? He'd wish the

Yorks would have no descendants whatsoever!” “Did you agree to help him remove all potential problems?” his subordinate asked cautiously.

“I'm still thinking about it. But if he offers me a good price, | have no reason to reject him. After all, | have many mouths to feed in Tempest,” Nathan smiled wickedly, his eyes flashing.

In the presidential suite of the hotel near the research base...

Jeffrey took Melanie's medicine case from her. He wanted to hold her steady, but she moved her arm away and avoided his touch. Instead, she walked over to the couch and sat on it.

She felt exhausted and slightly hungry from the journey back and forth, and couldn’t help but caress her round belly. Every morning at around this time, the servants would prepare some snacks such as nuts and fruits before it was time for lunch.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Does your stomach hurt?” Jeffrey noticed her caressing her stomach, and tensed up immediately.

Melanie ignored his question. Looking around the living room of the suite, she noticed the laptop that Jeffrey always used and a thick stack of documents on the table. “Are you working here?”

“Yes, | am.” “Then I'll go to the bedroom to rest.”

She held herself up with one arm, and stood up. Jeffrey finally managed to seize the chance to hold her, but received a disdainful look from her.

“lll leave the moment the Yorks leave the base,” she said.

“Slow down.” Jeffrey focused on holding her steady, wishing that she would never leave.

He helped her onto the bed, and left only after covering her with the sheets and making sure she 15 BONOS

Melanie took out her phone and scrolled through it, wanting to relax for a while, when her door opened again, Jettrey brought in a plate of fruits and snacks, and placed it nimbly on the bedside. table by her feet.

“Eat some.”

She was hungry, so she picked up a fork and began eating some fruits. He reminded her. “I just took the yogurt out from the fridge, and it’s still very cold. Have it a while. later.” Melanie looked up, as if saying that she knew and that he could leave now.

Jeffrey stood there unmoving, and said, “I’m tired too, and | need some rest. Didn’t you say that there’s no end to earning money and that | only have one life?”

He deliberately used her words against her. She pursed her lips. “I'm sure there are more than two bedrooms in this presidential suite. If you like this one, I'll shift. to another bedroom.”

The corner of Jeffrey’s lips curled as he tried to hide his slyness. “I didn’t bother about the features of this presidential suite in favor of its proximity to the base. Unfortunately, it only has

two bedrooms.”

Melanie found herself silenced. She swallowed the piece of kiwi she was chewing, then pulled the sheets away. “You can have the bed. I'll sleep on the couch.”

“Huh?”

Jeffrey stretched his arm out, wanting to stop her. Out of panic, he accidentally knocked the plate of fruits over. The juices on the plate splattered onto her belly. Both of them started hectically

picking up the fruits on the floor.

Amidst the chaos, he grabbed her arm with one hand and placed his other hand on her round belly
