His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel 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 ate 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 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?"
