I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 368 Divorce

She was really pregnant!

For five weeks, to be exact!

Melanie thought back to more than a month ago. She and Jeffrey had been intimate when she wasn’t

ovulating, so how did she get pregnant?

No wonder she had been feeling weak, dizzy, nauseous and suffered a loss of appetite...

“Melanie...” Annie had tried to mentally prepare herself, but she was in a daze as well. “Did you not have any suspicion at all?” “I've been so busy, this completely slipped my mind...”

Melanie shook her head. She felt upset, even a little indignant.

“What are your thoughts, then?” Annie grabbed Melanie’s hand, afraid that she might be too upset.

“| don’t know yet,” Melanie said softly. She had made up her mind to leave Jeffrey, yet found out that she was carrying his child... “Do you not want the baby?” Annie asked.

Melanie didn’t know how to answer Annie’s question. From the corner of her eye, she spotted a pregnant lady seated down. Said lady was rather advanced in her pregnancy. Her hands would occasionally caress her swollen belly as a gentle, warm smile hung on her lips.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

The scene made Melanie’s heart itch.

“| don’t know,” she eventually replied.

When Annie was done with her checkup, they collected their prescription and took a cab back to the hotel. Annie kept reminding the driver to drive carefully with a pregnant lady in the car.

The driver kept looking back at them from the rearview mirror out of curiosity, wondering which one of them was pregnant. Neither looked pregnant...

“Have things been settled with the private investigator?” Melanie asked worriedly.

Annie made a call before updating Melanie, “The private investigator said he’s taken care of the doctor and the test report. Jeffrey will only be seeing a report stating that you’re not pregnant.”

“That’s good.” Melanie’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Annie grabbed her hand, and asked, “Are we still going back tomorrow? Are you feeling fit enough to do so?” Melanie nodded. “I'm not that weak. | do have some things to attend to back home.”

“What are they?” Annie asked with concern at the sight of how solemn Melanie looked.

“Although my marriage with Jeffrey is a secret, we have registered our marriage after all. Perhaps it’s time to change that.”

“Are you going to divorce him? Have you thought it through?” Annie asked in shock.

Acorner of Melanie’s lips lifted. “| haven't actually thought it through, but now that I’m no longer by myself... it’s best to get some things settled quickly.”

Annie sighed, feeling an inexplicable sense of pity for Jeffrey, who was in the dark. Agrand signing ceremony was being held in a conference room in Morgan Group’s office building in Medonia.

Media partners and guests who were invited to the event were buzzing with excitement. Jeffrey was seated on stage looking somber. His business partner seated next to him was still prattling on about the contract details, but he was clearly distracted.

The business partner had no idea that Jeffrey was spacing out, and instead thought that he was displeased with the subsequent contract terms. The signing ceremony was still underway, and he couldn't afford to have Jeffrey calling things off with them, so he could only proceed with utmost caution.

Finally, the doors opened.

William strode over and handed Jeffrey a folded—up piece of paper as he reported to him in a low voice, “Mrs. Morgan saw through our plot in the hospital, and secretly arranged for a private investigator to intercept her test report. Our men managed to act faster, and this is the real test report.”

Jeffrey had long expected Annie to be sloppy in doing things while Melanie, on the other hand, was very astute and shrewd. He had arranged for someone to watch them in secret in case Melanie saw through his plan.

As he had expected...

He took a deep breath and unfolded the paper.

It was Melanie’s test report.

She was really pregnant!

He was going to be a father!

Although his face remained unchanged, his heart was beating fast. If he weren’t in the limelight right now, he had no idea how he would express the joy bursting forth from his heart!

After the joy settled, his eyes dimmed as the guilt he felt toward her multiplied inside him...

William received yet another news, and hurriedly reported it to Jeffrey. Everyone could see Jeffrey's face turning dark. He said something to Jeffrey, and quickly left.

His business partner and the media partners downstage were flabbergasted to see him leave a signing ceremony just like that. “What's with President Morgan?”

“Did Morgan Group get hit with a crisis?” “That's huge news!”
