His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 167

Chapter 167 After taking a cold shower, Nathaniel came out feeling calmer. He noticed Melanie was

lying on the bed, fast asleep, and the food he had ordered remained untouched on the table. He moved

to her side, covered her with a blanket, and then went to eat dinner.

He arrived in a hurry and did not have time to eat. He had been busy with work recently, so having

proper meals was the least of his concern. Nathaniel had been having stomach problems for some time

now. If he até too much or too little, his stomach would hurt.

He swiftly gobbled down some food, not daring to overeat, and turned toward the sleeping Melanie.

She was snoring softly; this was Nathaniel‘s first time hearing her snore after dating for a long time. It

was apparent that the recent happenings had worn her out.

Melanie was also newly pregnant, so her body conditions might have changed. Nathaniel could make

out the dark circles forming around her eyes. She was particular about her appearance, yet she had

allowed herself to look tired. This could only mean that she was too exhausted to care about it.

Nathaniel felt guilty for suspecting her actions a while ago.

Plagued with guilt, he walked over and lay beside her. He hugged her from behind and thought about

being like this forever. He wanted to get married, have a child, and work together to expand the

company.

Even without Lily‘s help, he could always look for someone else for the company. However, Nathaniel

still preferred someone gentle and obedient when looking for a suitable wife, unlike Lily.

When he thought of Lily, he could feel the back of his neck hurting again. The other day at the alley, Lily

was so different from her usual self. It was as if she was a different person. “Hmm,” Melanie stirred in Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

his embrace as she felt uncomfortable. She turned around to hug him and slowly woke up.

“Urgh, how long have I been asleep?” she asked as she adorably rubbed her sleepy eyes.

“You were exhausted. Go back to sleep,” Nathaniel said, and then he thought of something,” Are you

hungry? Do you want something to eat?” “Sure!” Melanie felt hungry the instant Nathaniel reminded her

about food. She stood up and walked over to the table. The dishes were half eaten, but Nathaniel was

considerate. He had already moved her portion onto another plate and left quite some food for her.

Melanie picked up her fork and started eating when her phone vibrated. She had been holding on to

her phone for quite some time as Nathaniel was there, as she was afraid that he would see it.

Melanie was uneasy even though she had not read the text message. She stole a peek at Nathaniel

and noticed that he was also looking down at his phone. She sighed in relief and unlocked her screen.

It was Frank, as expected. His message was brief, “Come to the hotel‘s restaurant and have dinner

with me.”

Melanie frowned at his condescending tone and replied, “I‘m about to go to bed.” “Are you refusing

me?”

Melanie shivered as she could feel his wrath even from the other side of the screen. She wanted to

reiect him, but she did not dare to. Melanie glanced at Nathaniel and hoped that the fact he was here

would discourage Frank from trying anything.

“Fine.”

She deleted all the text messages between them. Melanie would ensure that no evidence or leverage

could be used against her. Then, she lowered her fork, walked toward Nathaniel, sat down, and sighed.

“What‘s wrong?” Nathaniel asked when he heard her sigh. He turned to look at the food on the table

and noticed she had barely touched them, “Are they not to your liking? What do you feel like having?

Should I order room service or get something for you?”
