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…”

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

Madam Morgan’s expression soured.

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
