Chapter 163 After ordering the meal, Nathaniel sat on the bedside and continued holding Melanie‘s hand.” Is there anything else that you want to eat or drink?” His voice and actions were full of tenderness. Melanie felt loved but shook her head, “No, I‘m only in my early trimester. I am not that delicate.”
“Nonsense! Pregnant women are delicate and should take care of their bodies.”
When Melanie saw Nathaniel‘s serious appearance, she deliberately teased him, “Oh, it turns out you‘re only doing this because I‘m pregnant. You wouldn‘t care if I weren‘t, right?”
“Why would you think that? You know I‘ve always treated you well,” Nathaniel hurriedly explained. When he saw her teasing eyes, he knew Melanie had tricked him. He lightly patted her buttocks and said, “You‘re being naughty! How dare you tease me?” Melanie laughed at him while ducking to the side, “No, spare me! I was just kidding. Still, do you think I got pregnant at the wrong time?” “What do you mean?” Nathaniel became unhappy and put away his smile when he heard her words.
“Don‘t be angry. You know the company has recovered a bit. Everything is getting back on track, and we still have other things waiting to be done. Also, we haven‘t gotten married yet,” Melanie said.
He was hesitant before this because Lily was important to him. He could not bear leaving either one of them. Now that Lily had left, it was time for Nathaniel to make up his mind. Only Melanie stayed by his side through thick and thin, even when he got angry and yelled at her. ‘I should treat her better. No, I want to treat her better. With this thought in mind, Nathaniel yearned for Melanie even more. He pulled her into his arms, saying, “Mel, i know I‘ve made you suffer with me recently.”
