She Left She Thrived She’s Worth Billions novel Chapter 270

A new water park with hot springs had just opened in the resort area.

After changing into her swimsuit, Melanie walked into the park and saw Bryant and Elina already waiting for her.

However, there were some uninvited guests next to the father-daughter pair.

When Melanie's eyes met Dominic's, she expected to see a look of pure disgust.

Three days ago, Melanie had been in her secret lab developing a new cancer drug.

It had already entered the clinical trial phase, progressing more smoothly than she had anticipated.

Just as she was about to take a breather, she received a call from Dominic.

He had asked her to spend Saturday with Lila, adding that he had already promised the girl. His tone left her no room to refuse.

As for why Dominic didn't ask Lila's actual mother, Evelyn, to go, but specifically sought her out, she didn't understand, nor did she ask.

"Sorry, I already have plans for Saturday. All day, in fact."

Melanie wasn't lying to Dominic.

Long before Dominic called, Bryant had already invited her to the new water park on Saturday.

Bryant hadn't asked her directly, but through Elina.

As the ambassador for Project NovaGate, Elina's performance had been outstanding. Even if it was just to reward Elina, Melanie felt she couldn't refuse.

Normally, Melanie wouldn't have thought anything was wrong with accepting the invitation from Elina and Bryant.

But she never, ever expected to run into Dominic at the water park.

And naturally, Dominic was with Lila and Evelyn.

"Ms. Melanie!"

The first person to call out to Melanie was Lila.

Ever since Melanie told her at the fitness plaza that she was replaced as ambassador because of Evelyn's unsuitable genetic profile, Lila's hostility towards her had diminished significantly.

This time, Dominic had also told her that Melanie would be coming to play with her.

But in the end, the person who came with her to the water park was, once again, Evelyn.

"Ms. Melanie, did you come here just for me?"

Lila blinked her big, hopeful eyes at Melanie.

Just then, Elina tugged on Bryant's hand and asked weakly,

"Daddy, Auntie Melanie came to be with us, right?"

Bryant stroked Elina's head and confirmed with a smile,

Bryant felt guilty about Elina and was also interested in Melanie.

Evelyn guessed there was a high probability he would invite Melanie to go with him.

Then, when she suggested that Dominic take Lila to the water park, she knew without a doubt that he would ask Melanie too.

And when Dominic, as a second choice, came to her, she was certain it was because Melanie had rejected him for a prior arrangement with Bryant.

With that, they were all bound to meet at this water park.

Dominic had claimed that Melanie was a better mother for Lila than she was, even telling her to go back to Bresford alone while leaving Lila in Melanie's care.

This time, Evelyn would let Dominic see for himself exactly whose mother Melanie wanted to be!

Four adults and two children. To any onlooker, they might have looked like two happy little families of three.

But only those involved knew how awkward the situation was.

Especially for Dominic.

Because Melanie was his wife.

She was his wife, yet she wasn't spending time with him and his daughter. Instead, she was with another man and that man's daughter.

For any man, it was a blow to his pride that was hard to bear.
