I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 487 Confession

“The young Master Frost isn’t young anymore, why didn’t the Frost family not treat his deafness? Even if we want to use this excuse to meet with Mr. Frost, we can’t bring someone without enough skills. Otherwise, they will believe that we’re simply toying with them.” the butler analyzed. “Professor Turner is with us, right? If he’s not a good doctor, who is?” Harlow said without shame.

Yelena cleared her throat and then gracefully said. “It’s already thanks to Melanie that the professor agreed to come here to treat me. Now that he’s cured my illness, he’s our benefactor, not our servant.”

“Since he came to us because of Melanie, so it means that Melanie can help! Now that she’s staying here for free and can even take advantage of our security, won’t the professor help us once more for her sake?” Harlow cried out arrogantly.

Melanie frowned, feeling a little pain in her belly.

She bent over and moaned. Yelena quickly said, “Go get the professor!”

“You! Leave now! If anything happens to Melanie, we'll see how you clean up this mess!” Yelena screamed at Harlow. Harlow was shocked. He really did need the professor’s help, so he quickly left.

Professor Turner came and checked up on Melanie.

She was simply being too emotional, but the baby inside was fine.

When Yelena saw Melanie was upset, she then told everything that had happened just now to the professor. Melanie quickly said, “You don’t have to do anything for me, professor! It’s not a good feeling having to stay under another's roof, but | can handle it.”

The professor shook his head and sighed. “Even if | wanted to help you, | can't.” “What do you mean?” Yelena asked.

“All those years ago, the Frost family did come looking for me. | checked his ears when he was still little. His illness couldn't be treated. Otherwise, with the Frost family’s influence in Delfino, he wouldn’t have remained deaf for the past thirty odd years,” the professor explained.

So that was why... +15 BONOS “Then that’s for the best. If Harlow asks for your help, you don’t have to do it just for me,” Melanie said with a sigh of relief.

“That’s Harlow’s responsibility. | heard from Joseph that the company seems to intend to gain a foothold in the raw material industry, which is the Frost family’s territory. He has to do it whether he’s capable or not,” Yelena said.

“The Frost family is also involved in perfume blending, but they’re not that well known. | believe that they’re in a very niche market?” Melanie asked.

Yelena nodded. “The Frost family focuses mainly on incense and not perfume. However, they have a monopoly on the production of special—grade Agarwood. | heard from the staff reporting to Joseph that almost all the Agarwood from the nearby countries are not for export. Now that the Yorks need a breakthrough, they need Agarwood. That's why they need to become partners with the Frost family.”

Melanie nodded. So that was what happened......

Melanie had been staying with the York for free for about half a month. But thanks to Yelena and Joseph, even Harlow couldn't do anything other than muttering a few words every now and then.

Even then, she was still learning traditional medicine from Professor Turner and didn’t dare let herself have any leisure time at all.

When it was after lunch in the afternoon, a servant from the gate came and asked, “Ms. Jones, there’s a friend outside that wants to see you. He said his last name is Lindsey.”

“Gabriel?”

Melanie blinked. “Please ask him to come in.”

“He has already met with Master Joseph in his room. He said he will be here later,” the servant said.

Melanie nodded.

Gabriel was a prodigy in the perfume blending industry and also a youth that Joseph admired. If Gabriel was here, it was natural for him to pay a visit to Joseph first.

After about half an hour, Melanie heard someone knock at the door, and Gabriel appeared outside her room escorted by a servant.

She stood up to greet him as she supported her back with her hand.

Gabriel gave her a rare, gentle smile. “I didn’t expect you to change so much after a while.”

It simply explained why she had changed after her pregnancy, so it didn’t make her feel so

awkward.

“Have | grown fat?” she asked with a smile. Gabriel walked over and looked around the room. “Compared to a normal pregnant woman? You're too skinny.“ Melanie smiled.

“Sit. You don’t have to stand to greet me,” Gabriel said, feeling like he had changed when he was in front of her. He was much more attentive as well.

“Let's have a walk in the garden. Pregnant women needed to walk everyday and | haven’t reached today’s quota yet.” She said.

Gabriel didn’t oppose it. He watched out for her as she climbed down the stairs, and the two of them bathed in the rays of sunlight as they slowly walked.

“| heard what happened to you.”

Gabriel broke the silence first. “Unfortunately, | was harvesting some wild fruits in the mountains when that happened. | wanted to make some unique fragrances, you see. | didn’t know what happened, or | wouldn’t have been so late...”

“To be honest... | did come here to look for you earlier. | even went to that party welcoming the return of Yelena York into the family. But, when | heard that Jeffrey had announced that you’re

married to him... | left without saying hello to you.” Melanie paused, her footsteps becoming slower. Was he...

Confessing his feelings?
