    Chapter 26 Uncle Jeffrey


    A person got down from the car and stood respectfully in front of their vehicle. Mnie immediately recognized him. It was the


    assistant who stood behind Jeffrey Morgan’s wheelchair during the g selections.


    Recalling her agreement with Stephen the previous day, she exchanged a few words with Annie and got out to join the assistant.


    “Miss Mnie, I’m here to take you to the Morgans‘ residence to meet the old madam,” the assistant said, handing her several


    pages of documents.


    “Wasn''t it supposed to be this weekend?” she asked.


    *The old madam returned from abroad ahead of schedule and wishes to meet you immediately,” the assistant exined.


    “Very well.”


    Observing her borate attire, Mnie hesitated for a moment before saying, “Please drop me off at home first so | can change


    into more suitable attire.”


    The assistant, not wanting to make decisions on his own, picked up the phone and dialed Jeffrey Morgan’s number. He then


    handed the phone to Mnie. “Miss Mnie, the president would like to speak with you.”


    Mnie answered the call. On the other end, Jeffrey’s cold voice came across. “There are some documents in the car for you to


    familiarize with. You might face some questionster. Make sure you don’t get it wrong.”


    Mnie furrowed her brow.


    Stephen sure seemed unreliable. He needed her to join him as his pretend wife and yet he involved his uncle in the preparations.


    As she nced over the documents, they contained information about birthdays, preferences, and habits. When she saw that his


    preferences included reading and meditation, Mnie could not help but chuckle.


    “What''s so funny?” Jeffrey asked.


    Sheposed herself and replied, “Rest assured, President Morgan, I''ll make sure to memorize everything.”Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    In the eyes of the old madam, did Stephen enjoy meditation and reading? It seemed that Stephen’s act in front of his family was


    quite different from his usual self.


    The car arrived at the Morgans‘ family residence. It had a vast courtyard.


    Upon entering. Mnie spotted Jeffrey sitting in a wheelchair.


    Every time she saw him, memories from that night came rushing back. She knew it was not him, but her heart could not stop


    racing. The resemnce between Stephen and him sure was striking.


    Moreover, the aura surrounding Jeffrey exuding authority and decisiveness was something Stephen could not hope to match.


    “You''ve arrived.” Unexpectedly, Jeffrey initiated the conversation, interrupting her thoughts.


    It took Mnie a moment to remember how Stephen addressed Jeffrey and then she smiled warmly. “Hello, Uncle Jeffrey.”


    ‘Uncle?*


    Seated at the center of the sofa, the elderly Madam Morgan raised an eyebrow and tapped the housekeeper, Mrs. Hudson.


    Mrs. Hudson considered it for a moment and leaned in to exin, “Madam, perhaps...it''s the way they tease each other as a


    young couple...”


    “Ah.” Madam Morgan pushed her gold—rimmed reading sses up and rxed her posture, finding the term endearing.


    She then weed Mnie and talked about various topics including Stephen and his interests. Mnie was well-prepared


    and provided suitable answers.

    Madam Morgan also inquired about Mnie''s leg. “Jettrey, why haven''t you had Ur. Noan take a look at Mnie’s injury?


    Seeing Jeffrey''s silent demeanor, Mnie responded with a reassuring smile, “Uncle Jeffrey has already made arrangements for


    me.


    “Very well.” Madam Morgan nodded. “With Dr. Noah around, you won''t need crutches. | remember watching you dance back in


    the day. You were magnificent.”


    “You''ve seen me dance?” Mnie said, surprised.


    Mrs. Hudson exined, “The madam spent many years overseas, organizing international events. She saw you perform the


    Swan Lake years ago and wanted to invite you to the International Socialites G. However, you were young at the time, and


    your education took precedence.”


    “Granny, are you the chairwoman of the International Socialites G?” Mnie was amazed.


    She had heard about the prestigious chairwoman in the international fashion scene, often referred to as “Madame*. A mere nod


    from her could influence numerous connections in upper society. It was astonishing to discover that she was the matriarch of the


    Morgans. “It’s just a fancy title.” The elderlydy chuckled warmly. “Don’t worry, dear. With Dr. Noah’s help, you''ll soon be back to


    your old self.”


    Mnie’s heart warmed, and she grasped the elderlydy’s hand.


    Madam Morgan also showed concern about Stephen’s treatment of Mnie. “Has my boy been treating you well?”


    “He has.”


    “Isn''t he a little old for you?”


    “Hmm?”


    Mnie took a moment to react and then chuckled. “Not really. We''re quite close in age.”


    Madam Morgan nodded in agreement. In today’s world, a ten or eight-year age gap was considered reasonable.


    “What about his personality? He’s not making things difficult for you, is he?” Madam Morgan inquired, casting a nce at the


    silent and reserved Jeffrey.


    Mnie could not help but think that it was quite frustrating to meet the family before the wedding when Stephen was not even


    present She kept a reassuring smile and said, “Don’t worry, Madam. When he’s with me, he’s quite reasonable, unlike his usual


    self.”


    “PERL”


    One of the household servants could not contain theirughter.


    Jeffrey felt a tightening in his throat. It appeared his carefully constructed image was about to unravel.


    Madam Morgan raised her eyebrows. After a brief pause, she asked, “What do you mean unlike his usual self?”
