That was because not only was she carrying their precious grandchildren, but if this got out, it would also reflect poorly on the family. All the rumors and nonsense would only ruin the family’s reputation!
Melanie knew when to stop. She was already satisfied with how the Grayson family handled the matter. At least they took it seriously and didn’t try to smooth things over.

Her lovely appearance made her resemble a graceful yellow rose, which brought a refreshing coulness to the hot summer.
Edward’s superior noticed her too and was slightly curious as he hadn’t seen such a beautiful lady at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before.
Just as he was thinking this, Melanie walked over, greeting him with a smile before handing the lunchbox to Edward.
“I wasn’t too busy today, so I made lunch and brought it to you”
Those nearby who saw this finally realized that she was Edward’s newly married wife.
They’d heard some rumors and knew that she was from the countryside and was even the wife of Edward’s brother, who had been trafficked. It was all quite a messy affair.
