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.

Melanie glanced outside and saw that the number of people visiting the courtyard almost equaled a small–scale banquet. 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 so impatient.
Madam Morgan began dealing with the guests. Jeffrey Morgan, not one to waste time, wheeled his chair around and gestured
back at Melanie. She reacted swiftly, pushing his wheelchair and guiding him out the door.
“Is Stephen not coming back today?” Melanie initiated conversation.
“Why would he come back?” Stephen replied with indifference.
Melanie pursed her lips. It seemed that Stephen’s unconventional behavior was enabled by the rest of the family.
“Pack your things. You’ll move to Marina Heights tomorrow,” Stephen instructed emotionlessly.
“So soon?” Melanie said, surprised.
“Since its establishment, the Morgan Group has been under the old madam’s control. She’s known for her efficiency. If you don’t
want to be rushed, you should act quickly.” Stephen’s voice remained composed, yet it carried a commanding tone.
“Right, got it.” Melanie nodded.
“And one more thing. To appease the old lady, your name’s already in the marriage registration system.” His cold voice was
enough to make one feel disheartened.
Melanie remained calm for a moment before asking. “Wasn’t it supposed to be in three days?”

“Dr. Noah mentioned your foot would recover quickly–likely not even taking three days. What do you think?” Jeffrey finally turned,
his eyes casting a sideways glance at her injured left foot.

That piercing gaze left Melanie teeung strangely uneasy.
Everything was under Jeffrey Morgan’s control, and she had no way to argue. “So... I’m married now?”
“That’s right. You are part of the Morgans now, so you need to consider every action carefully,” Jeffrey added.
Melanie’s eyes darkened. She replied, “I’ll be considerate and try to fulfill my duties as his wife.”
“Him?”
Jeffrey’s tone grew heavy, hinting at his displeasure.
“Stephen,” Melanie replied.
Hm.
Jeffrey’s gaze darkened. He wheeled away, realizing that she still did not know that she had married him.
No wonder she had been addressing him as uncle since earlier on. Furthermore, those remarks about being free–spirited while
talking with the old madam... So, the man she wanted to marry was Stephen? What a disappointment!

After a pause, Jeffrey raised his hand and instructed his subordinate, “Send Melanie the marriage certificate when it’s ready.”
“Understood, sir.”
The man who was going to marry her was him! He had no inclination to deceive her on this matter.
Melanie was left behind in the courtyard, feeling bewildered.
The rumors about Jeffrey’s eccentric temperament and his capricious nature were not baseless. He changed his stance as
quickly as turning the pages of a book.
After a while, a household staff of the Morgans approached Melanie with tea and informed her that she could take a stroll in the
courtyard. Later, Madam Morgan would be hosting guests over dinner and she was invited.
Melanie nodded.
She noticed two cherry blossom trees in full bloom in the courtyard. If it were not for Jeffrey Morgan’s reminder earlier, she would
not have noticed. Her crutches were almost just a decoration now. Her foot was healing rapidly.
It felt nice to stand on both feet again. Her mood lifted as she stood under the cherry blossoms while she leisurely admired the
flowers. That was why she did not notice the two women behind her.
“Mom, look. That’s Melanie. What’s she doing here?”
Olivia Hans, daughter of the man who had offended Melanie during the gala selections, was astonished to see Melanie here. “Is
she also trying to gain favor with Madam Morgan?”
