Chapter 162

He felt that something was out of place, but Melanie‘s attitude did not seem any different.

He took a quick glance around and noticed her phone sticking out of the bag that had fallen down the
side of the large bed. Nathaniel walked over quickly and picked it up after a glance at the closed
bathroom door.

The lock screen password had not been changed, so he accessed her WhatsApp with no trouble and
located Frank‘s number. The chat was empty, with no messages. He then looked at the gallery, other
text messages, and call records, but everything seemed normal. Nathaniel checked every likely
location, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Could he be overthinking? Nathaniel felt confused. Right then, the sound of water flowing from the
bathroom stopped. He hurriedly locked the phone and put it back into the bag. Turning around, he saw
Melanie come out in her pajamas.

“Why‘d you get dressed so quickly?” He pretended to be nonchalant and stood up. Then he grabbed
her into his arms and sniffed the shower gel scent on her. “Aren‘t you going to take it off soon,
anyway?” Melanie trembled slightly at his words. She had expected this would happen when she took a
shower. It had been a while since they last saw each other, and with his coming so far out of his way,
he clearly would want to be intimate. However, she really could not. Not tonight! Melanie dared not get
intimate in fear of Nathaniel discovering something, but she knew he would be suspicious if she
blatantly refused. Therefore, she had come up with a countermeasure.

She showed her neck and let him kiss her. After giving him a taste, she suddenly stopped him.
Nathaniel looked at her in dissatisfaction with a face full of desire.

“Mel! You never refused me before!” His voice was laced with warning.



Melanie understood the meaning of his words. In a sulky tone, she complained, “I was not pregnant
before this!”

Nathaniel was surprised and said, “Isn‘t it j–just a suspicion? Are you sure?”

Melanie lowered her head and nodded shyly. She covered her belly with one hand and said, “I haven’t
had my period for several days, and I checked again earlier. It shouldn‘t be wrong.”

Nathaniel forgot all his anger and doubt when he heard her words. He supported her to the bed and
helped her sit at the bedside. After that, he even helped her lie down slowly.

“Why do you still travel around? You should have a good rest. Do you feel any discomfort? Are you
hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Although Nathaniel was complaining, his concern was
apparent. “You’re only remembering now to ask if I‘m hungry?” Melanie glared at him.

“Iyour body is more important now. Let’s put this issue to rest for the time being. Instead of eating out,
I‘ll order something. You should rest after that, okay?” Nathaniel said softly while holding her hand.
Melanie nodded shyly as she watched him call the room service to deliver the meal. He tirelessly told
them the food she liked and disliked as well as what food to avoid.
