Chapter 452 Family Dinner

When Jeffrey appeared soon after, Melanie relaxed her tensed muscles a little..

“If you keep coming like this, won’t the York Family notice?”

“That’s not the main issue.”

Jeffrey went straight to the bed and pulled her into his arms. Then, he asked in concern. “Are you

feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine.”

“Don’t be afraid. Sleep. I’m here.”

His voice was unusually gentle, and she felt like he was practicing soothing a baby in advance.

Seeing her calm down a bit, Jeffrey slowly lay down with her. He covered her with the blanket and

massaged her arms to help her relieve stress.

“I was thinking… If I hadn’t kept pursuing this matter and insisted on seeing Clement, Nathan

wouldn’t have had to stage this drama. Then, Clement might not have died,” Melanie confided in

him. “Nathan was right. It’s because of me that he died.”

“Of course not!”

Jeffrey’s voice was firm. “Don’t think like that. Even if you didn’t want to see him at first, Nathan

would have forced you to see him repeatedly. This was his plan–a play he had to act out.”

After saying that, he softened his voice again. “Stop thinking about it. You need to rest well… What will

happen to our baby if you can’t endure things?”

Melanie nodded obediently.

His embrace was comfortable. The familiar warmth made her drowsy.

In a half–dream state, she felt him wrap his arms around her waist from behind. It warmed her

heart. She reached out and held his hand, their fingers intertwined…

Suddenly, a storm broke out in the middle of the night. It was accompanied by the sound of heavy rain

outside the window, and they fell asleep in harmony.

Melanie slept deeply.

FIS BOHOS

The next morning, it was the regular knocking of the maid that woke her up

The place beside her was already cool, indicating that Jeffrey had left while she was asleep.

She got out of bed and opened the door.

The maid outside looked at her with concern. “Miss Melanie, I’ve called you twice, but you didert

respond. I was worried that something had happened to you… Did I disturb your rest?”

“What time is it now?” she asked.

“It’s eleven o’clock.”

Melanie couldn’t believe Jeffrey’s presence last night had allowed her to sleep so soundly for so

long!

“The two young masters want to have a family dinner with Miss Melanie today. The old master

asked me to invite you to join them,” the mald added.

Melanie nodded.

She freshened up, put on makeup, and headed downstairs….

“Sorry for keeping everyone walling.”

She descended the stairs to the dining room and saw Harlow and Leo already seated. Pamela was

there with Pam and Shane. Even Joseph, whose complexion had Improved, had arrived.

Everyone was waiting for her.

“Please, have a seat.” Joseph personally greeted her..

“Today is your family dinner. Is it appropriate for me to join?” Melanie politely smiled and chose a

seat on the edge.

“Aunt considers you as family, so you are also family to us. Of course, It’s appropriate.” Leo

quickly added.

Beside him, Harlow’s features twisted with some displeasure.

“In that case, thank you,” Melanie replied and took her seat.

The family dinner began.

Harlow took the initiative to stand up and pour wine for everyone. It seemed that during this time at

home, whether voluntarily or forcibly, he had rounded off his edges in front of everyone.

“Aunt has suffered outside the home for these years. This is a good wine I’ve treasured for many

Melanie, “Miss Melanie, have a drink too. Let’s forget about the past.”

“Thank you, but my stomach has been feeling unwell lately, so I prefer not to drink,” Melanie politely

declined.

Harlow’s eyes turned sharp, and he tightened the wine bottle in his hand. “Miss Melanie, is this your

way of refusing to make amends to me?”

“You’re overthinking it. It’s really due to health reasons,” Melanie replied casually.

“Fine!” Harlow put down the wine bottle and stepped back. “Then I’ll personally serve you a bowl. of

soup. It’s nourishing and also a gesture of apology from me.”

With that, Harlow served Melanie a bowl of thick soup. Melanie didn’t want to make the situation

awkward in front of the York Family, but as soon as the soup touched her tongue, a strong fishy

taste assaulted her taste buds…

Suddenly, her stomach churned wildly.

“Ugh…!”

She hurriedly covered her mouth and stammered, “I–I’m sorry, I need to excuse myself…”

Harlow narrowed his eyes. He watched Melanie rush to the bathroom with a dark glint swirling in

his eyes!
