Chapter 368 Divorce
She was really pregnant!
For five weeks, to be exact!
Melanie thought back to more than a month ago. She and Jeffrey had been intimate when she wasn’t
ovulating, so how did she get pregnant?
No wonder she had been feeling weak, dizzy, nauseous and suffered a loss of appetite…
“Melanie…” Annie had tried to mentally prepare herself, but she was in a daze as well. “Did you not
have any suspicion at all?”
“I’ve been so busy, this completely slipped my mind…”
Melanie shook her head. She felt upset, even a little indignant.
“What are your thoughts, then?” Annie grabbed Melanie’s hand, afraid that she might be too upset.
“I don’t know yet,” Melanie said softly. She had made up her mind to leave Jeffrey, yet found out that
she was carrying his child…
“Do you not want the baby?” Annie asked.
Melanie didn’t know how to answer Annie’s question. From the corner of her eye, she spotted a
pregnant lady seated down. Said lady was rather advanced in her pregnancy. Her hands would
occasionally caress her swollen belly as a gentle, warm smile hung on her lips.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe scene made Melanie’s heart itch.
“I don’t know,” she eventually replied.
When Annie was done with her checkup, they collected their prescription and took a cab back to the
hotel.
Annie kept reminding the driver to drive carefully with a pregnant lady in the car.
The driver kept looking back at them from the rearview mirror out of curiosity, wondering which one of
them was pregnant. Neither looked pregnant…
“Have things been settled with the private investigator?” Melanie asked worriedly.
Annie made a call before updating Melanie, “The private investigator said he’s taken care of the doctor
and the test report. Jeffrey will only be seeing a report stating that you’re not pregnant.”
“That’s good.”
Melanie’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Annie grabbed her hand, and asked, “Are we still going back tomorrow? Are you feeling fit enough to
do so?” Melanie nodded. “I’m not that weak. I do have some things to attend to back home.”

“What are they?” Annie asked with concern at the sight of how solemn Melanie looked.
“Although my marriage with Jeffrey is a secret, we have registered our marriage after all. Perhaps it’s
time to
change that.”
“Are you going to divorce him? Have you thought it through?” Annie asked in shock.
A corner of Melanie’s lips lifted. “I haven’t actually thought it through, but now that I’m no longer by
myself… it’s best to get some things settled quickly.”
Annie sighed, feeling an inexplicable sense of pity for Jeffrey, who was in the dark.
A grand signing ceremony was being held in a conference room in Morgan Group’s office building in
Medonia.
Media partners and guests who were invited to the event were buzzing with excitement. Jeffrey was
seated on stage looking somber. His business partner seated next to him was still prattling on about the
contract details, but he was clearly distracted.
The business partner had no idea that Jeffrey was spacing out, and instead thought that he was
displeased with the subsequent contract terms. The signing ceremony was still underway, and he
couldn’t afford to have Jeffrey calling things off with them, so he could only proceed with utmost
caution.
Finally, the doors opened.
William strode over and handed Jeffrey a folded–up piece of paper as he reported to him in a low

investigator to intercept her test report. Our men managed to act faster, and this is the real test report.”
Jeffrey had long expected Annie to be sloppy in doing things while Melanie, on the other hand, was
very astute and shrewd. He had arranged for someone to watch them in secret in case Melanie saw
through his plan.
As he had expected…
He took a deep breath and unfolded the paper.
It was Melanie’s test report.
She was really pregnant!
He was going to be a father!
Although his face remained unchanged, his heart was beating fast. If he weren’t in the limelight right
now, he had no idea how he would express the joy bursting forth from his heart!
After the joy settled, his eyes dimmed as the guilt he felt toward her multiplied inside him…
William received yet another news, and hurriedly reported it to Jeffrey. Everyone could see Jeffrey’s
face turning dark. He said something to Jeffrey, and quickly left.
His business partner and the media partners downstage were flabbergasted to see him leave a signing
ceremony just like that.
“What’s with President Morgan?”
“Did Morgan Group get hit with a crisis?” “That’s huge news!”
