I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 482 Ending Up Here Anyway

Melanie looked at the pair of eyes that used to make her believe him so easily. The sorrow slowly crept up on her, and her eyes felt somewhat wet.

Was it not him? He who wanted to protect her, her heart, and her child? He who also wanted to kill her mom, destroying the truth that she had been trying to tell her?

If he didn’t come, then he would simply be suspicious. She could never be sure.

But if he were on this ship and became part of this drama where a prince saved the princess, it had to be because he wanted to gain her trust, take her to Delfino to give birth, and pin all the crimes on his enemies. They would still be in love, and she and her child could live the rest of their lives in peace with him...

“It isn’t me,” Jeffrey said, his voice firm. “Then what are you doing here? And alone, too,” she shot back.

“It's because Nathan's main base is in Delfino. I've already set up defenses with Delfino’s customs. Without my orders, this ship can never pass customs,” Jeffrey explained as he gritted his teeth.

“Really?”

Melanie looked at him coldly, as if admiring how easily the lie could be unraveled.

Shouldn't he come to save her after setting up strategies?

For him to come alone... Not only would he be unable to save her, but he would also fall into their hands.

The only explanation was that these people were under his command, and that all of this was simply an act. That was why he didn’t need to look for an exit. When the kidnapper unintentionally let her hear his voice through the phone, William’s voice was so clear... And he still wanted to lieThis belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

to her?

Looking at her wary eyes, Jeffrey could feel his heart froze. He closed his eyes as the pain washed over him. “You still don’t believe me...”

She looked away, not wanting to speak again.

“| know...”

Jeffrey calmed down and thought it over. “All of this is part of Nathan's plans. His aim is to make When Melanie heard that, she tried to force a smile.

“Why don’t you trust me?” Jeffrey was both angry and anxious as he held her shoulders, looking into her shifty eyes.

She'd personally heard William’s voice. All the pieces fit; when she remembered all the evidence that Mr. Lincoln showed her, why should she trust him?

“Let me go!” She pushed her arms open and shoved his hands away.

Her stubbornness challenged his domineering spirit. With a frown, he placed his hands on her arms again and held her weak body still.

Her eyes were red as she opened her mouth and bit into his shoulder. His shoulder Instantly bled red, and she could taste blood in her mouth.

“Hiss!”

The woman's retaliation in despair and angry eyes were the final straw. Jeffrey bent over and kissed her lips.

At this time, the door was pushed open in a bang.

The bald, masked man was standing at the door as his eyes narrowed and let out a snicker.

“| didn’t expect that you would be in the mood for that. But allow me to remind you that the baby she managed to save can’t suffer anymore accidents! Here's the medicine the doctor prescribed

for her.”

And then, the bald man waved his hand. The doctor that had saved Melanie yesterday came in and gave her a few strips of pills.

She still remembered the doctor’s voice. Her stomach still wasn’t feeling well. For her baby’s safety, she swallowed the medicine obediently.

“The ship will go through customs tomorrow morning. I’m afraid that you'll have to speak on our behalf. This will be enough time for you to do whatever you want!”

And then, the bald man left with a wicked smile while leaving two clean outfits for them.

The door automatically closed.

Jeffrey finally calmed down after that.

2/3

He knew that there had to be hidden cameras in there so that the people outside could spy on their movements.

His hands were still on her shoulders, looking at her eyes. There were still tears clinging to her thick eyelashes.

He let her go as his heart ached.

She grabbed the blanket and curled into a ball.

Looking at her pregnant womb and pale face, Jeffrey sighed.

The only thing he could blame was the fact that he’d miscalculated.

Nathan knew that he would make mistakes; even knowing that this was a trap, he wouldn’t allow her to be on the ship alone. That was why he ended up here anyway.

But now, everything that the masked men did has become an act that they had to finish in her eyes...

How ironic.
