Chapter 643
“Expectant mothers should be resting at home, not running around the country for work.” Howard frowned and warned Eugene. “Although my family isn’t rich, I’ve doted on Mel since she was young. Even if you’re more powerful than me, I won’t forgive you if you hurt her.”
“What are you talking about, Howard? I didn’t expect you to be so protective of your daughter. Why are you getting involved in their private affairs?” The other men teased him from the side.
Howard glared back and said righteously, “Of course my daughter has my full support. They’re not even married yet, and even if after they are, she will always be my precious daughter!”
Melanie was bored out of her mind as she listened to their petty little play.
She had to admit that the two actors Howard had hired were very good at picking up his signals. With
just a few words, they had already brought up the topic of marriage.
Howard deliberated for a moment, then he raised his eyes to Eugene and Melanie. If Melanie had not seen his true colors that day, she would have been moved by the sincere concern on his face.
He asked Eugene, “Mel is pregnant now. When do you plan to get married?”
Melanie’s heart instantly sank. She said in a cold voice, “He and I will not get married.”
“What did you say?” Howard raised his voice and glared at Melanie. “You silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you throwing a tantrum at a time like this?”
After saying that, he turned to look at Eugene. Although he was still frowning, his tone was more probing now. “Mel is pregnant with your child. You will be responsible for her, right?”
Eugene tapped his finger on the table. His emotionless gaze slowly shifted to Melanie’s face.
This time, he paused for a long time. Melanie stiffened under his gaze before he said casually, “The baby is mine, so of course I’ll take responsibility.”
Howard nodded in satisfaction. “That’s better. Well then, you should start preparing the wedding gifts-”
Suddenly, he was interrupted by a loud bang beside him.
Melanie had raised her hand and slammed her cup on the table. She looked at Howard and then met Eugene’s extremely calm gaze. She felt suffocated.
“What wedding? What gifts? Didn’t you hear me? He and I will never…!”
Melanie rarely lost her temper like this. She glared at Howard furiously, but Howard smacked the table loudly before she could finish her sentence.
He barked sternly, “Mel, what are you doing? This is serious business. I’m doing this for your own good. Why are you being so stubborn?!
