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…”
