Chapter 270
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
It seemed Melanie was with Frank whenever she was out late or absent. Nathaniel felt disgusted just thinking about them.
Eloise was surprised after hearing what Nathaniel said. âYou mean Melanie Thayer?â
âIâm pretty sure I have only one fiancee,â he replied ironically. âYou sure? I thought you had two,â Eloise snapped back unapologetically. Nathaniel sat there in silence.
Eloise did not push it as she continued, âYouâre telling me Melanie slept with Frank? They went behind your back?â
Eloise was so crude that it embarrassed Nathaniel. His cheeks flushed bright red as he yelled,â
Mother!â
âSince youâve already embarrassed yourself, why worry now?â Eloise retorted, âAre you upset with me because of this? That I had introduced Frank to you?â
Initially, Nathaniel had been angry because of her, but as he calmed down, he knew it was not her fault.
Who would have known that something like this would happen? Besides, Frank did help MN Inc.
overcome its crisis.
âNo, I donât blame you,â Nathaniel said. Eloise nodded in satisfaction and continued, âAt least youâre still sensible. I would be furious if you were to blame me! Nate, Iâve wanted to say that woman isnât suitable for you. She wasnât someone you could go through hardships with.
âEven without Frank, she would someday leave you for any Tom, Dick, or Harry and ultimately betray you. You should be thankful that youâve unearthed the truth now instead of finding out after your marriage.â
Eloise was not shocked by what had occurred to her son because she had disliked Melanie from the beginning. She chose not to speak up because Nathaniel loved Melanie and did not want to meddle in her sonâs affairs. At least he could see Melanieâs true colors before it was too late.
âBâbut sheâs pregnant with my child.â After all, Nathaniel still had feelings for Melanie. They had been together for such a long time. How could he just abandon her like this?
âYour child? Are you sure of that? Judging from her character, what makes you think she was telling you the truth?â Eloise smirked.
That was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. Even though he had thought about it, he was still willing to trust her, âThatâs not possible. Melanie was already pregnant when she met Frank. Iâm sure that the baby is inine!â Nathaniel concluded firmly.
âEven if itâs not Frankâs, how are you so sure that it isnât someone elseâs? She seemed like a flirtatious character. How would you know what sheâs capable of? She might not even be pregnant, for all you know!â Eloise continued to cut Nathaniel with her words, âBesides, even if the baby is yours, do you want your babyâs mother to be someone like her? What would others think of you?â
Eloise could not help but add, âIf only you had listened to my advice and chosen Lily instead, this would not have happened in the first place.â Nathaniel frowned, âIâve told you not to talk about her!â He paused and added softly, âShe didnât even come to visit me at the hospital, so how is she better?â
