"It's just that my period is coming soon, so my stomach is a bit bloated," Melanie pouted as she explained.

Seeing how self-conscious she was, Jeffrey smiled and said, "Gaining a bit of weight is good. I like it. You're too skinny..."

Melanie furrowed her brows even more and pushed him away. "If you like curvy women, you don't have to look at me, Mr. Yancey!"

"Miss Jones, when I say I like you a bit chubby, I mean that whether you're thin, chubby, tall, or short, I like you for who you are," Jeffrey explained, looking at her earnestly.

"Fine!" Melanie huffed as she stood up from his lap. "I'll go back and start eating a lot!"

"No problem. When you turn into a balloon, I won't have to worry about other men having any improper thoughts about you," Jeffrey said with a satisfied grin.

Melanie's eyes widened with urgency as she looked back at Jeffrey.

He stood up and put his arm around her shoulders.
