Chapter 226

“Actually, the sample was successful, but our product failed during the last test. The final result was just unpresentable. We‘d lose if we used this as our competitive product.” He might as well tell Melanie the truth because lie could not disquise it.

“What do you mean by unpresentable? How could this be? This formula could not be wrong. 1 got it from...” She realized what she was saying as soon as the words left her mouth and promptly stopped talking Nathaniel stared at her, “From where?” “F–From way back. I‘ve had this formula for a long time, and I‘ve done countless tests on it. I believe this formula las no problem at all! Though she sounded determined, she was also unsure, Frank gave her the formula, and Melanie had no reason to doubt him, given his authority and expertise.

She thought everything he gave her was perfect. However, her belief in him faltered after his formula failed lab testing. She could not let Nathaniel know, so she had to act confident in her formula.

“I believe this formula wouldn‘t be wrong either, but we‘ve tried many times. Why don‘t...” Nathaniel did not finish lis sentence. He did not know how to say this to Melanie.

A few days ago, he was the one who told her not to go back to the lab, yet now he was the one trying to ask her to look at the experiments. He was going against his own words; to make matters worse, it was to his fiancee. He could not make himself say it.

“Do you want me to go take a look?” After all, they had been together for a long time. Melanie could read him like a book In embarrassment, Nathaniel sighed and shook his head, “No, it‘s fine! There are so many people in the lab that I‘m sure one of them could figure out what‘s wrong. I just wanted to check if the formula was fine. Don‘t worry. We‘ll push on until we succeed!”

“Nate, you don‘t have to force yourself!” Melanie held his hands and continued gently, “Just like you said, it‘s the most critical stage. I should go in and take a look. After all, I was the one who wrote the formula, and no one understands it better than I do. I should ensure everything goes well and turn it into our final product. Even if you didn‘t ask, I would‘ve gone anyway.”

“I‘m just worried about your health. The lab has many chemicals, and I think you shouldn‘t.” After giving it some thought, Nathaniel was still worried.

Melanie recently refused his requests to sleep together. She had blamed the baby‘s position. She said that the baby‘s condition was unstable and needed some alone time to care for them. He agreed wholeheartedly and could only kiss her, attempting to resist his desire. Nathaniel was well–prepared to be a father and would try his best to avoid accidents along the way.

“Don‘t worry. I‘ll be sure to wear a mask!” She moved her hands to show him and added jokingly, “Why don‘t you get me one of those gas masks too!”

“I can do that!” Nathaniel nodded seriously.

Melanie fell back onto the bed, laughing, “You‘re so silly! I was just messing with you! Don‘t worry. I‘ll only be in the lab briefly to check what went wrong. Besides, I don‘t think our baby is that weak I‘m not stressed about it at all.”

“But...” Nathaniel was still worried, but Melanie insisted, “If you continue being like this, I‘m just going to get mad!” “...All right!” He could
