I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 469 Be Gentle To Ladies The moment Jeffrey’s hand landed on Melanie’s belly, they felt a strong kick from the fetus,

It was as if the fetus, that wasn’t yet six months old in the stomach, knew the touch of his father and was jumping and dancing for joy in his mother’s womb,

Melanie and Jeffrey looked into each other’s eyes. She noticed him swallowing hard and the tears glistening in his eyes.. “He’s kicking me.” Jeffrey said hoarsely. In a voice soaked with happiness.

Melanie felt her heart going soft at that moment. She thought it was the sweetest thing she heard,

filled with the love a father had for his child.

She couldn't bear to push his hand away, and allowed him to greedily caress her belly. The fetus in her womb continued kicking away happily as Jeffrey moved his hand to wherever the fetus was kicking, and the father—child pair continued interacting with each other.

Suddenly, the baby kicked Melanie hard.

Melanie couldn't help but wince. “Ouch!”

Jeffrey immediately pulled his hand back. “Does it hurt?”

Melanie nodded.

“Child, be gentle to ladies. Mommy’s hurting. Let’s not play so rough anymore.”

Jeffrey reached out once again to caress the sharpest point on her belly. Astonishingly, the baby in Melanie’s belly stopped kicking.

“It’s been tough on you.”

Jeffrey's hand felt warm as he caressed Melanie’s belly with one and her cheek with another.

His words were genuine and filled with emotions; indignation swelled in her chest as tears welled

up in her eyes. The sight of her glistening tears in her eyes made Jeffrey kiss her tender lips; he

could no longer hold himself back.

Her efforts to resist him were futile, and she let his passion warm her heart as she slowly started to respond tenderly to him. It had been two months.

This was their longest period apart since they knew each other.

He would always find various reasons and opportunities to appear by her side, and she had long gotten used to it. If it weren’t for those convoluted and almost incomprehensible medical notes. she would have had no way of suppressing the urge to think of him.

Every kiss and every gentle move he made told her that he missed her wildly, even more so than she did him. After the kiss ended, Melanie quietly leaned into his embrace. She was at peace inside amidst the silence.

Jeffrey kept his hand on her belly, fully enjoying the moment as he caressed her belly gently. greedily. Suddenly, he looked down and took a good look, as if realizing something.

“The baby seems to have grown. Is It because he had his fill just now?

Melanie burst out laughing, then rolled her eyes at Jeffrey.

“He’s absorbing nutrients from my body through the umbilical cord. President Morgan, being

overly—confident is no different from being conceited.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“| meant he had his fill from absorbing nutrients from your belly. What else did you think | meant?” Jeffrey smiled slyly. “You grew quite a sharp—tongue over the few days | haven't seen you,” she chided jokingly.

“A few days?! It’s been 67 days...” Jeffrey’s voice mellowed as he said broodingly.

His lips drew uncontrollably nearer to her, and his hand that was caressing her belly started

moving down.

She quickly pressed down on his roving hands, and warned, “He’s full enough. He'll get indigestion if he eats more.” “Okay.”

Jeffrey swallowed hard and pursed his lips before setting his mind on stopping himself.

“Take a rest. I'll go take a bath.”

He needed to put out the fire inside him.

Melanie pursed her lips and held back her laughter as she saw Jeffrey out of the room. Ten minutes later, he came out of the washroom while drying his hair with a towel.

He stood at the foot of her bed and looked at her while asking, “Why are you looking at me like

that?” +15 BONOS “Did you already know about my birth?” she asked.

Jeffrey put the towel aside, and sat down. “The first time you came to Medonia to attend the Angle family’s centennial celebration, Grandma hinted to me to protect you. | had a vague idea at that point.”

“Grandma knows about it too?” Melanie asked In shock.

“According to what | know from Grandma, she used to know your grandmother, Mom sought her help so you could get close to the Yorks,” Jeffrey explained.

“Is Grandma Yelena York's best friend, or my grandmother’s best friend?” “I've never asked her in detail. You can ask her yourself the next time you see her.” Jeffrey said. Melanie nodded before asking another question. “What else do you know?”

“The first time you came, the Yorks sent someone to do a DNA test with you. | ruined the results. But the Yorks probably did this more than once. | couldn’t help but wonder. If they've confirmed. your identity, they'd probably ask you to come home. All the more they wouldn't allow Leo to get close to you. You're siblings, after all.” Jeffrey said.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you know so much?” Melanie asked with her brows furrowed.

“| wanted to tell you more than once.” Jeffrey said with pursed lips. “But Mom hid this from you for so many years, and even secretly told Grandma not to tell you about it. | thought | didn’t have the right to reveal the secret of my own accord. It was another way of protecting you.”

Melanie looked down, and nodded after thinking things through. After a while, she looked up and asked, “Is my father a member of the Yorks? If so, why didn’t the DNA test pick up on that?” Jeffrey reached out and lovingly smoothed out the creases on her shirt.

“What are you trying to do now?” Melanie asked in surprise.
