Spoiled by Mr Russell (Lily Christian and Alexander) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Melanie had not paid close attention before since she was scared. Looking at him now, she realized his figure was thin. Muchithinner tlian average.

She knew the reason now and felt uneasy. Since Frank had done such a thing, he might as well have one foot in hell. Melanie did not know if someone would discover it at some point. She also had no idea how long lie would last in the industry. However, she was sure she could not count on him in the long run. Melanie thought she had found a powerful ally and would win in life if she maintained her relationship with him. Unfortunately, reality gave her a rude awakening.

One could not entirely depend on a single person. Melanie knew she could not rely solely on Nathaniel. Likewise, she could not pin all of her hopes on Frank. She needed additional support and could feel secure only when she had sufficient backing.

Even so, Melanie was not in a hurry as Frank could still be her support in the meantime. She could back out after giving him Lily and taking full advantage of him.

She got out of the room and took the elevator. When Melanie checked her phone, she realized she had many messages and missed calls from Nathaniel.

‘Did something happen? Why was he so anxious?‘ Melanie thought to herself.

She turned off the phone and put it into her purse calmly. Then she strode out of the hotel and took a cab. Upon arriving home, Nathaniel was waiting for her as soon as she opened the door. Melanie had expected this.

“Where have you been, Mel? Why didn‘t you answer my calls or reply to my messages?!”

Melanie stood still and put on a frightened face. She blinked several times and asked, “W–Why are you back already, Nate?”

“Where have you been? Tell me! Tell me now!” Nathaniel looked furious.

“1–1‘ll tell you if you promise not to be angry.” Melanie looked scared as she shrank her neck.

“Okay, then tell me!”

Nathaniel got home early because he wanted to accompany Melanie. He never expected to come home to find it empty, and he had no idea where she had gone. She did not return his calls or messages, either. His anxiety and uncertainty increased, and so did his irritability,

“I– I went to the lab.”

“The lab? I called them, and they said you left a long time ago! Didn‘t I tell you not to go to the lab? What were you doing there? Why are you so disobedient?! Didn‘t you think of the baby‘s well–being?!” He said it angrily while planting both hands firmly on his lips. Melanie did not expect him to call the lab, but it was easy for her to cover up the lie

“I went to the lab to check the progress of the new product. After all, it‘s a formula I wrote myself. I hadn‘t done this in a long time, so I feared something would go wrong again. I‘m doing this for MN Inc. and our future!” Melanie pouted and lowered her head.

“After spending some time in the lab, I felt uneasy. I went to the hospital for a checkup thinking that it might be from inhaling the fumes too much.” Melanie started crying halfway through the sentence. “Do you think I don‘t care about the baby, and you‘re the only one concerned? The baby is in my belly. I care more for it than anyone else!

“How dare you yell and shout at me?! You promised to look after me and love me for the rest of your life. That‘s all a lie! You only care for the baby and not me. I should just abort it, and we can go our separate ways!” Alter saying so, she turned around to leave. Nathaniel was anxious when he saw her crying non–stop.
