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.

“Are you blaming me for not proposing? Rest assured, I have it all planned out. I will give you a perfect
and grand wedding after that.” Nathaniel realized what Melanie was hinting at as he leaned over and
kissed her forehead.

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.”



His words touched Melanie, and her eyes reddened. Indeed, she felt that she had suffered.

“So you did know! I thought you were clueless,” Melanie said while pouting.

“Yes, of course, I know. I‘m sorry. It‘s all my fault. I promise to give you a good life, okay?” Nathaniel
swore. “Remember your promise. Don‘t regret it later.” “I will never regret it!” Nathaniel nodded with
certainty, Melanie happily laughed as she was pleased, Looking at Melanie‘s bright smile, Nathaniel
yearned for her even more. Recently, he was distraught over the matters at the factory and had not
been with her for a long time. Moreover, the duo had been away from each other for quite some time.
