Chapter 270

It seemed Melanie was with Frank whenever she was out late or absent. Nathaniel felt disgusted just
thinking about them.

Eloise was surprised after hearing what Nathaniel said. “You mean Melanie Thayer?”

“I‘m pretty sure I have only one fiancee,” he replied ironically. “You sure? I thought you had two,” Eloise
snapped back unapologetically. Nathaniel sat there in silence.

Eloise did not push it as she continued, “You‘re telling me Melanie slept with Frank? They went behind
your back?”

Eloise was so crude that it embarrassed Nathaniel. His cheeks flushed bright red as he yelled,”
Mother!”

“Since you‘ve already embarrassed yourself, why worry now?” Eloise retorted, “Are you upset with me
because of this? That I had introduced Frank to you?”

Initially, Nathaniel had been angry because of her, but as he calmed down, he knew it was not her fault.
Who would have known that something like this would happen? Besides, Frank did help MN Inc.
overcome its crisis.

“No, I don‘t blame you,” Nathaniel said. Eloise nodded in satisfaction and continued, “At least you‘re
still sensible. I would be furious if you were to blame me! Nate, I‘ve wanted to say that woman isn‘t
suitable for you. She wasn‘t someone you could go through hardships with.

“Even without Frank, she would someday leave you for any Tom, Dick, or Harry and ultimately betray
you. You should be thankful that you‘ve unearthed the truth now instead of finding out after your
marriage.”



Eloise was not shocked by what had occurred to her son because she had disliked Melanie from the
beginning. She chose not to speak up because Nathaniel loved Melanie and did not want to meddle in
her son‘s affairs. At least he could see Melanie‘s true colors before it was too late.

“B–but she‘s pregnant with my child.” After all, Nathaniel still had feelings for Melanie. They had been
together for such a long time. How could he just abandon her like this?

“Your child? Are you sure of that? Judging from her character, what makes you think she was telling
you the truth?” Eloise smirked.

That was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard. Even though he had thought about it, he was
still willing to trust her, “That‘s not possible. Melanie was already pregnant when she met Frank. I‘m
sure that the baby is inine!” Nathaniel concluded firmly.

“Even if it‘s not Frank‘s, how are you so sure that it isn‘t someone else‘s? She seemed like a flirtatious
character. How would you know what she‘s capable of? She might not even be pregnant, for all you
know!” Eloise continued to cut Nathaniel with her words, “Besides, even if the baby is yours, do you
want your baby’s mother to be someone like her? What would others think of you?”

Eloise could not help but add, “If only you had listened to my advice and chosen Lily instead, this would
not have happened in the first place.” Nathaniel frowned, “I‘ve told you not to talk about her!” He
paused and added softly, “She didn‘t even come to visit me at the hospital, so how is she better?”
