Variables not recalculating while reloading modules

I have a module that i use to input some parameters (used in multiple functions etc, and I did not want to rewrite everywhere). They are lightly manipulated (basic scaling etc) and exported to various parts of a larger code.
Some of these parameters will be changed manually, and I wanted to run the program based on these updated parameters without restarting Julia (trying to avoid loading packages). Looks like the variable manipulations are not being carried out even when I use Revise.jl

Anyone have any suggestions

A MWE below

module Mymodule
x = 1
y = x*10
mygreeting() = "Hello, world!"

export x, y, mygreeting
end

The main file

using Revise
includet("MyFile.jl")
using Main.Mymodule

#accesssing from workspace directly
println(x)  
println(y)  #Does not update it's value
mygreeting()

println(Main.Mymodule.x)
println(Main.Mymodule.y)    #Does not update it's value
println(Main.Mymodule.mygreeting())

The workflow in question

1. Run the main file
2. Update the module by x = 2 and mygreeting() = "Hello, Revised world!"
3. Run main file again

The variable x and function mygreeting() gets updated to the new values, but y is still showing old value of 10.
Is there some way of updating the value in y
