I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 431 My Lineage

No one knew if Linda truly agreed with Jeffrey or was being strong—armed into agreeing with him. That famous photographer was quickly located and dragged over, and they all began discussing Jeffrey's proposal.

With Linda and Jeffrey physically present, the photographer had no choice but to agree with it.

While Melanie and Adam were still partnering up during the next photographing session, the two of them had almost zero physical interaction.

During the interval, Melanie would occasionally peek at that visitor who had come uninvited from her place on the stage. She would intentionally narrow her eyes, hoping that he would see her death stare.

A few hours later, the photographing session ended. Jeffrey's car was waiting outside. Melanie immediately got in and asked, “Where’s Annie?”

“| had someone send her back to the hotel first,” Jeffrey said. He had already arranged everything properly so that they could have some private time to talk.

“Isn't it a bit too risky for you to come over to watch the photography session?” Melanie said as she furrowed her eyebrow, looking at the man whose hand was almost on her belly.

Even if he wanted to see her, he should have gone to a more private place. “Don't worry. Linda’s probably figured out our relationship,” Jeffrey said calmly.

When she heard the first half of the sentence, Melanie was almost relieved. However, the second half of the sentence made her nervous again. “Why do you say that?”

Jeffrey then told her about how Linda was teasing him earlier. “With the Yanceys’ influence, if she really wanted to find out about our private life, it wouldn’t be impossible for her..”

“There is another possibility.”

Melanie then added, “I feel like Linda was the one that saved me when the small building was set on fire earlier. That little boy’s birth mother... She seemed to know that I’m pregnant and went out of her way to take care of me.”

Linda wouldn't let her wear any heels and kept on calling for rests during the photographing sessions. She even asked Melanie to eat and drink to keep her energy level high...

“All this while, Linda has been in Medonia. There are just too many coincidences. While you have found no evidence about the relationship between her and Harlow, if you ask me, there’s something going on between the two of them,” Melanie said with certainty.

“Alright. I'll use your conclusion to help with our investigation. Tracing the leads in reverse will make things easier,” Jeffrey agreed.

Melanie nodded. “There’s no rush, honestly. She’s probably acknowledged this outcome. | saved her son, so she’s treating me well and won't hurt me. That's good enough. As for the private business between Harlow and her... It doesn’t really matter whether or not we know about it.”

“But | want to find out more.”

Jeffrey's lips were tightly pursed as he pulled back his hand from her belly. “Linda told me | looked like a Yancey... She’s not someone that would easily say something like that.”

Melanie took a step back and looked at his face. “Now that you mention it, you do look a little like her. Especially the nose. It’s quite unique.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Jeffrey extended his arm and wound it around her waist, as if supporting her body by holding her close. “Unique?”

“I'm tired today, so you better behave yourself!” Melanie narrowed her eyes and scolded.

Jeffrey pulled her closer and gently caressed her. “Come sit on my plane when you're going back tomorrow.”

He couldn't let her get tired, could he?

She was already going back in less than two days to take part in a competition. He was really

worried that she would get too tired.

Not to mention that there was a greedy little imp in her belly right now, draining her of her nutrients... How could her body handle it?

In that brief silence, Melanie remembered something and asked, “You think Linda isn’t joking when she’s saying that you looked like a Yancey?”

“No.”

Jeffrey recalled the expression on Linda’s face when she said that. It didn’t look like she was simply trying to strike up a conversation.

“How’s that possible? You’re doubting your lineage?” Melanie got out of his arms as she looked at him with a serious impression.

“ty lineage is full of doubts in the first place,” Jeffrey said.

“What do you mean?”

Melanie looked confused.
