《I Became His Sweetheart》全部章節：第 851 章 - 第 860 章

"Mr. Yancey?" The product manager looked at Jefford in surprise. "Mr. Yancey, you’re indeed leading by example. Of course you would test out your own product first. Please join us on stage!" Jefford quickly got on stage, and he even stood on the other side of Melanie deliberately. Melanie blinked and thought that Jefford was smart. Since Gabriel and her were on stage together, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance to stir things up. This, however, made things a bit difficult for Gabriel. Seeing Jefford standing close to Melanie, Linda's gaze turned sinister. Soon, all four men were selected. The product manager said, "Please wait a moment. Our staff is preparing the draw lots, and all eight of you will be paired up shortly." Soft music played to fill the pause. At this time, a subordinate hurriedly walked up to Linda and whispered, "Miss, our people backstage just saw Mr. Jefford instructing the person in charge of the draw..." "He wants to be paired with Melanie?"

"Melanie, I have something to tell you." Jefford blocked Melanie's path firmly. Gabriel instinctively shielded Melanie behind him. Seeing this, Jefford's face darkened, and he glared at Gabriel with his chin raised. "I need to talk to Melanie! Move aside!" "Hey, Melanie is my fiancée!" Although Gabriel was shorter than Jefford, he clearly had more confidence. The people who had been surrounding the product team sensed the tension here. Seeing the potential drama, they shifted their focus to the two men and one woman. "The two of them are obviously very much in love. What is Mr. Yancey doing? You can’t force love," someone couldn't help but comment. "Shh! Don’t offend Mr. Yancey." Someone else pulled the talkative person back, fearing trouble. Jefford clearly wasn't going to let Melanie and Gabriel leave. Melanie sighed, not wanting a fight to break out here. She could only step out from behind Gabriel and say, "Whatever you have to say, you can say it here." "You..."

"How did you get here?" Melanie's eyes were filled with surprise. "I jumped down from upstairs," Jeffrey replied. "Upstairs?" Melanie was confused. Jeffrey explained that after Gabriel carried her away, he had been drinking alone in the banquet hall. Later, Linda deliberately sent a woman to accompany him, so he went along with it. He pretended to be drunk and took the woman upstairs to a room. The room was directly above Melanie's. Once the woman fell asleep, Jeffrey jumped down from the balcony. He was eager to see her. Hearing this, Melanie felt herself tense up. "This is too risky. Why did you come?" "Someone was so harsh on me just now. I wouldn’t be able to tell what was real unless I checked in person..." Hearing him say this with a frown, Melanie couldn't help but laugh. "The harsher it is, the more Linda will believe it. Just now, she didn't even force Gabriel to stay with me, which means she believes there's absolutely nothing going on between you and me." J

Jeffrey and Melanie slept soundly. At first, Melanie couldn’t fall asleep. With the man’s deep breaths behind her ear, her mind was a mess. Later, he held her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. The warmth from his hand transmitted through hers and to her abdomen, creating a mysterious emotional connection. Melanie suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable, something she hadn’t felt in a long time. Unknowingly, she fell asleep and slept very soundly. When she woke up, Jefford was no longer behind her. The other side of the bed was completely smooth, as if he had never been there. Melanie sat up and glanced at the time. She had planned to take a short nap and then go downstairs, but unexpectedly, she had slept for an hour. By this time, the Yancey family's anniversary celebration was probably ending, so she didn't need to go downstairs anymore. She tidied her hair and touched up her makeup. Soon, Gabriel arrived with the room key to pick her up. "The banquet is over

Melanie subconsciously reached out and touched her lower abdomen. She was hesitating because she was afraid of harming the child, and she was also afraid of messing up such an important occasion for Derrick. The fact that Derrick was willing to showcase the dress he designed for his deceased daughter indicated that he attached great importance to this show and intended to overshadow Linda in their battle. "My team has discussed this for a long time and thinks this is the best solution. Melanie, are you willing to help me?" Derrick earnestly asked over the phone. Melanie had no way to refuse and could only agree. "Yes. I'm willing to help you, but I'm afraid I won't do well..." "With my guidance, you cannot fail! Besides, you're so outstanding!" Derrick sounded excited. He hurriedly said, "I know it’s sudden, but if you're available, can you come for a fitting and practice walking the runway tomorrow?" "Okay. I will come early." Melanie sighed inwardly. She had to go for t
