I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 471 Beautiful Handwriting

William swiftly had dinner served in the living room.

Professor Turner was already seated. He made no secret about it as he asked Jeffrey and

Melanie, who had just entered the living room, “Done washing up?”

Melanie’s face turned a bright red. Professor Turner’s suggestive choice of words embarrassed

her thoroughly.

“What are you doing just standing there? Come over for dinner, quick!” Professor Turner urged.

Melanie looked down, not wanting to have dinner in such an awkward atmosphere. “I’m still not hungry. You two go ahead.”

“If it weren't for your pregnancy, | wouldn’t have needed to accompany you for your regular meals. | wouldn’t have gotten hungry so easily,” Professor Turner said, displeased. “Just ask him: who would dare to rush me to eat when | was busy?”

Jeffrey said with a smile, “He’s not exaggerating. Professor never called anyone to eat. He himself didn’t have regular meals.” “Quick, eat it while it’s hot.”

Professor Turner saw how embarrassed Melanie still was, and helped by changing the subject.” You've improved by leaps and bounds in just two short months. I’m very glad to see that!”

Melanie walked over slowly to her seat and sat down, with Jeffrey's help to steady her. Silence fell upon the three of them as they started eating.

Professor Turner was the first to have his fill, and he slowed down his pace as he surveyed the couple seated before him..

He asked, “Why are you two not talking?”

“There’s nothing to talk about,” Melanie said.

“Fine, that’s all right. It's better than missing each other to death.” Professor Turner said wisely. “Cough...”

Jeffrey choked on his food as he turned his head sharply to the woman seated next to him.

Did that mean she missed him very much during this period as well?

Upon seeing Melanie look down and deliberately avoiding his gaze, Jeffrey spooned some food. +15 BONOSExclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Eat more. It’s very strenuous reading through those convoluted and nearly Incomprehensible medical notes of Professor Turner's.”

“How do you know they’re convoluted and incomprehensible?” Professor Turner asked. “Melanie told me that your medical notes.” Jeffrey said slowly as he glanced at Melanie.

She once told him that she would learn medicine from Professor Turner over her dead body. His handwriting was too ugly, and certainly didn’t look like It came from a person!

Melanie immediately cut Jeffrey off before he blurted out her true thoughts, and said, “I said your medical notes are mysterious and show how highly-skilled you are.”

“Indeed!” Jeffrey smirked. He had never seen a woman as articulate and eloquent as her!

However, Professor Turner seemed to have picked up something from their conversation. He put down his spoon, and asked, “How is my handwriting, then?”

“Brilliant!” Melanie was filled with praises for him. “Professor Turner, your handwriting is sharp and strong, and you're just like it...”

Professor Turner couldn’t stand her praises, and lifted his hand to cut her off. “I am as unpredictable and capricious as my handwriting. | know.”

Melanie held back her laughter, and kept silent.

Jeffrey couldn't bring himself to laugh. He glanced at Melanie and asked, “I didn’t expect you to

really learn medicine.”

“Medical skills are used to save lives. Concocting fragrances is just the icing on top. What's more, | can’t concoct fragrances that can make people happy right now,” Melanie said as she tried to

hide the darkness in her eyes. Jeffrey, however, noticed the subtle changes in her eyes. His heart ached badly for her.

Over the past 67 days, he bugged the professor daily about Melanie and her mother’s condition. He knew Melanie’s mood would only improve when her mother’s condition improved.

It was getting late by the time they were done with dinner, and Professor Turner was ready to return to his base. Melanie wanted to follow him, but Jeffrey couldn’t bear to see her leave.

“I'm heading back to see my mom,” Melanie insisted.

Jeffrey had no choice but to say, “I'll go see you tomorrow, then,”

“No need. I’m busy studying every day and have no time to entertain you.” Melanie said, rejecting him.

Jeffrey sighed as he turned to look at Professor Turner in hopes of finding support. “I can go visit the professor.” “Cough! I’m very busy during this period. Don’t bother visiting me if nothing is up.” Professor Turner said coldly.

Jeffrey's face turned dark with displeasure.
