Chapter 109

Nathaniel smiled helplessly, “I‘m sure you know I treat you as my treasure, so don‘t be willful, okay?

Still, I don‘t like the way he looks at you.” Any woman would be thrilled to hear these words of jealousy.

Melanie smiled, squinted, and then drilled into Nathaniel‘s arms. “You‘re so jealous. I haven‘t seen you like this for a long time, so I‘m happy! However, I still think I should go with Mr. Moreau,” she said half jokingly.

“How dare you?!” With his arms around Melanie‘s neck, Nathaniel replied ferociously, “I‘ll break your legs if you dare run off with him!”

“Ooh, how fierce of you, Mr. Hall,” Melanie bit her tongue as she remembered something. She looked shy as she continued, “You shouldn‘t worry so much. Even if Mr. Moreau has feelings for me, nothing will happen. Especially since...”

“What is it?” Nathaniel did not understand.

“I‘m...”

At first, Nathaniel did not realize why Melanie was so hesitant to speak. When he regained his senses, he hugged her tighter and exclaimed, “Are you pregnant?! You‘re pregnant! Are you serious? Am I the father?“.

His excitement resembled a child‘s as Melanie slapped his shoulder angrily. “That‘s a dumb question!

Who else would the father be?!”

“Yes! I‘m going to be a father!” Nathaniel was so happy that he felt like he could already touch the child.

“Relax. I might be pregnant. I‘m not entirely sure.”

“You‘re unsure?”

Melanie nodded. “Yeah. My period is two weeks late, and I‘ve started feeling nauseous. I bought a test strip and checked it out. I might be pregnant.”

“It‘s either you are, or you aren‘t. What do you mean, maybe?” This situation was difficult for a man to understand. “You didn‘t go to the hospital to get checked?”

“It‘s still early. I heard the hospital can‘t detect anything if it‘s too early. Still, there were two lines on the pregnancy test, and although it wasn‘t very obvious, I think it should be positive I‘ll go to the hospital in a few days to make sure,” Melanie said softly.

Nathaniel nodded frantically, “Okay! Good! I‘m right, then. You shouldn‘t be running around so much.”

He changed the subject and went back to the question again.

Melanie immediately became unhappy as she left his embrace and shouted, “No, you‘re not right! It‘s not easy to get such an opportunity to attend such an event. If I really am pregnant, I won‘t be able to attend it for at least a year or two. Then I can‘t participate in other activities or even travel. I‘ll die of regret it I don‘t go now!”

Nathaniel was powerless to resist Melanie‘s coquettish behavior, not to mention knowing about her possible pregnancy. He did not want to argue with Melanie anymore. “B–But.. “Just stop, all right? I‘ve already decided, so why can‘t you oblige just once? After this event, I‘ll listen to whatever you say in the future, okay?” Melanie softly persuaded Nathaniel as she knew his weaknesses.

She had already figured out Nathaniel‘s temperament when he and Lily were still together. It did not take long for Melanie to win him over as she had control of him. Nathaniel would never disobey her and was submissive to Melanie.

Sure enough, Nathaniel could not resist her persuasion. He raised his hands and surrendered,” Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise not to get too close to Frank. I will send someone to go with you too.”

“You don’t trust me?” At first, Melannie was quite happy, but her face suddenly became serious when she heard the latter words. “It‘s not that I don‘t trust you. I‘m only protecting you if Frank has any intentions against you. Also, someone will be around to take care of you if you encounter any dangers out there.”
