Chapter 552
The following day, when Melanie returned to the villa, Xander and the others were home. When they saw her, Xander asked, “Are you alright? Yvonne said you were feeling unwell yesterday and stayed in your house.”
It seemed Yvonne had not told anyone about her pregnancy.
Melanie looked at Xander. Upon seeing his concerned gaze, Melanie decided after consideration. ” Xander, I have something to tell you.”
It was early autumn and in the morning. Melanie only wore thin clothes with a windbreaker. It did not look warm.
A jacket was draped on her shoulder when she walked into the yard. Xander said gently, “Wear something thicker.”
Melanie, who had prepared herself to be honest, was taken aback. She lowered her head and bit her lips, unable to say the words she had prepared.
“What’s wrong?” After a pause, Xander looked at her silently.
“I…” Melanie took a deep breath. She took off the coat on her shoulders and handed it back to Xander.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she spoke softly, “Xander, I am pregnant.”
Xander said nothing and did not take the jacket she handed back to him. Melanie pursed her lips and
looked at him.
Her eyes met Xander’s. He seldom had that kind of gaze as though he was bearing some surging emotions. His eyes looked like the waves in the dark sea.
Melanie felt the jacket being taken away by Xander.
She forced a smile and was about to speak when Xander asked, “Is Eugene the baby’s father?”
Melanie nodded slightly.
After silence, Xander asked, “Does he know?”
Melanie said, “I won’t let him know.”
“So, you have decided to keep this child?” Xander’s gaze was complicated as he looked at Melanie.
Melanie looked at the tree from afar. After a moment of hesitation, she was determined again.
She nodded. “Yes.”
It was the answer she got after thinking about it all night.
Melanie snapped out of her motions and blinked her eyes. “I’ll head back then.”
