I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 27 She Wanted to Marry Stephen

After all, Stephen was still a young man who liked meditation in front of Madam Morgan… Melanie carefully chose her words and replied, “I meant, he’s a carefree and spirited person.*

Madam Morgan was completely surprised and turned to look at Mrs. Hudson.

Mrs. Hudson racked her brain for a moment before whispering to Madam Morgan, “Perhaps, Second Master Jeffrey is different in front of Miss Melanie compared to us…”

Madam Morgan nodded. If it were not for that incident eight years ago, Jeffrey would never be this cold–hearted. Maybe in front of the person he truly liked, he could open up his heart.

“Very well.”

Madam Morgan nodded repeatedly. “You’re a good lady. It’s a shame we need you to keep this marriage a secret. That’s quite unfair for you.”

“Not at all, I understand it’s for the greater good,” she said, eager to keep their relationship discreet.

Madam Morgan was genuinely pleased with Melanie.

The Joneses had raised their daughter to be considerate. She was also kind and lovable. She thought her grandson’s heart had withered after that incident eight years ago, but it seemed his good fortune was still ahead.

With that in mind, Madam Morgan’s smile brightened even more. “I’ve bought a house for both of you in Marina Heights as your future residence.”

Melanie initially thought of declining but realized that it would not be appropriate to live in her own home after getting married, so she nodded in agreement. She also secretly checked Stephen’s schedule and found that he had no opportunity to return home, which put her at ease.

Before long, a servant from the Morgan family entered to announce the arrival of guests.

Madam Morgan’s expression soured.

It seemed that Madam Morgan had just returned to the country and wanted some peace at home, but numerous individuals seeking favors had denied her that opportunity. It was no wonder Madam Morgan looked
