After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698 The Feud (3) The State Banquet

At the Balderston manor, Hannah found Melvin didn't get back home last night. She thought the battle was expected any day now. She felt a bit nervous. Nobody knew what would happen next. She stroked her belly softly. She could perceive the fetal movement from time to time since it occurred for the first time yesterday. She found that fetal movement occurred more frequently if she was nervous. She wondered whether the baby was active or sensitive. She didn't want her baby to go through hardships so early before birth.

At lunchtime, Hannah was dining by herself when Melvin came suddenly. She continued to dine, without a word. Melvin sat across the table, took up the knife and fork, and ate slowly. He ate a little as if he had no appetite.

"Have no questions?" Melvin began.

"I don't want to ask." Said Hannah.

"Have no confidence in me?" Melvin laughed.

"No, I just don't want to get worried."

"Are you worrying about me?"

Hannah didn't answer.

"Worry about that you might die with me," Melvin added.

Hannah said nothing.

"Oscar is now going shopping with Lillian."

Hannah kept on eating after a second's pause, saying nothing.

"Oscar bought oranges for her, accompanied her, and carried bags for her," continued Melvin.

Hannah still kept on eating, without a word.

"Has he done something like this for you?" Melvin asked.

"What do you mean?" Hannah swallowed the food, wiped her lips, and asked.

"I mean, he doesn't deserve you," Melvin said earnestly.

Hannah laughed, "Beggars cannot be choosers. Flirtation sometimes cannot be avoided, as he has to gain the trust of the Collins family. And so do I."

Melvin looked a bit displeased.

"Under such a situation, I can't make any demands on him." Hannah looked at Melvin, and said, "I'll not blame him, even if he does something sorry to me."

"It's hard to drive a wedge between you and Oscar." Melvin laughed deprecatingly.

"You've made it," said Hannah.

Melvin frowned.
