Chapter 569
It was almost noon now and the autumn sun felt comfortable. Despite her discomfort, Melanie asked Eugene back, “What are
you suspecting?
“Did Viola tell you that I arranged to meet Mason to get revenge against LeapCo? ” she sneered disdainfully. “How foolish. Of
course, you’re not to be outdone either.” Without waiting for a response, she ended the call and tossed it into her bag.
Due to hormonal and endocrine changes now that she was pregnant, Melanie was not feeling well and her mood was not great.
She could usually muster up enough energy to suppress her emotions when it came to work. However, as soon as she heard
what Eugene said, she could not help but want to vent her frustration. She could not control her irritability.
When Melanie returned to the villa, it was lunchtime. Since there was no one in the villa, she prepared something simple for
There was only one step left to finalize the contract with Carla. Melanie hoped to complete the contract review this afternoon.
She got busy and forgot the time. It was only when everything was done that she realized it was almost dark.
As she stood up, the door of the study opened. Xander was there holding a cup of water. “Are you done? Let’s have dinner.”
He handed the cup to Melanie, saying, “It’s raining again, have some hot water first.”
Melanie accepted the cup and took a sip, feeling the warm stream flowing down her throat. She felt much better after that and
went out with Xander, the cup still in hand.
She heard Xander asking her, “Did you go to the hospital with Yvonne this morning?”
“Yeah, Liana asked us to deliver some things, Melanie replied, then realized, How did you know?”
“She called me in the afternoon,” Xander said, looking at Melanie with a meaningful look.
When he received the call from Liana that afternoon and then got immediately interrogated about Melanie’s pregnancy, he
instinctively wanted to cover it up, thinking that Liana would not be able to accept it. Little did he know, Liana would instead scold

“Do you even know how to take care of a pregnant woman? Look at Mel, she’s so thin. If I didn’t know better, I would think you’re
withholding her salary!”
“Also, I told you not to fuss over me. Does it matter if she’s pregnant? It’s a buy one, get one free deal! If you dare to let my
potential sister–in–law slip away, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
Xander always knew that Liana’s thinking was quite unconventional, but he did not expect her to be this unconventional.
However, she did get one thing right, was Melanie being pregnant important?
For Xander at least, it was not. He had not even considered dating or getting married before. However, if the person in question
was Melanie...
Xander’s heart skipped a beat and he lifted his gaze to look at Melanie again. A faint smile played on his lips, thinking that Liana
might be right. He was not committed, so why would she agree to him?
Since Melanie was more sensitive to smells now, she noticed Xander would scrutinize the others for cooking dishes with strong
smells. Reny expressed some dissatisfaction, saying, “Why can’t we have spicy fish stew? It’s been a long time since we had it.”
Xander still insisted, “The smell is too strong, and I don’t want to smell fish lately.”.
