Chapter 180

“...Yeah.” Melanie answered hesitantly. she did not look like she was happy about Nathaniel‘s plan.

Although she had no intention of ending things, she also had no desire to tie the knot with him.

After giving birth, she would be a full–time housewife, caring for the child and domestic responsibilities.

However, Nathaniel‘s existing abilities and MN Inc.‘s current success level were far from what she desired. If she had a baby now, she would not have time to advance her fame and status in the industry. How would she get richer?

“Aren‘t you happy about it?” Nathaniel thought Melanie would jump for joy at the news, giving him a few kisses at the least. However, she was so calm that it seemed like she was not excited about it.

“It‘s not like that. Have you told your mom that I‘m pregnant?” she probed.

“No, I wanted to give her a surprise. What‘s wrong?”

His answer made Melanie feel relieved. “It‘s nothing. I think we shouldn‘t tell her about it so soon. After all, I just got pregnant, and you know what they say about how pregnancy can be unstable in the first few months. I‘m just afraid that if something happened, we might lose our child.”

“Stop right there!” He interrupted her instantly as displeasure was written all over his face.” Our child will be healthy and safe! Don‘t think of nonsense! The most important thing is to take care of yourself and our baby. You don‘t need to do anything else for now.

“Although my mom hadn‘t mentioned this before, I know she wants grandchildren. You know she had only given birth to a girl after remarrying, right? I‘m her only son, so she would be elated if she knew you‘re pregnant.” “You shouldn‘t stress yourself out. I’m just talking about the possibility of it...” Melanie continued.

“Say nothing about that! That wouldn‘t happen!” Nathaniel stopped her from thinking that way.

He looked into her eyes while holding her shoulders and said, “Mel, stop thinking of stupid things! Don‘t listen to nonsense from other people, either! You‘ll be healthy, and our child will come into this world safely. I won‘t allow anything to happen to you or the baby. Do you understand?”

His words rendered Melanie speechless. Slowly, she nodded, her expression turning more gloomy than before.

To be honest, Melanie had considered aborting the child, but she had not made a solid decision. She was trying to probe Nathaniel‘s thoughts, but she did not expect such a big reaction from him. Melanie could not imagine what he would do if she aborted the child.

However, this child was indeed a warrior. It was miraculous that the baby was still fine after the past few days.

Melanie was initially hesitant about the abortion. She had even more doubts about it after speaking with Nathaniel. She decided not to think about the abortion, so… she would just leave it be now!

After tucking Melanie into bed, Nathaniel tiptoed out of the room and made a call.

“Mom.”

On the other end, a melodious voice sounded, “Nate.” “I‘ll bring Mel to meet you tomorrow at our usual spot. I‘ll be there first, and you can take your time.”

“I told you I don‘t want to meet her.” After a moment of silence, Eloise said, “You deserve better.”

Nathaniel held his phone tighter and turned to look back at the room. The door was still closed.

He then said in a soft voice, “Mom, you promised me. Just meet her once. I‘m sure you‘ll like her.”
