"...Yeah." Melanie answered hesitantly.
She did not look like she was happy about Nathaniel's plan. Although she had no intention of ending things, she also had no desire to tie the knot with him.
After giving birth, she would be a full-time housewife, caring for the child and domestic responsibilities.
However, Nathaniel's existing abilities and MN Inc.'s current success level were far from what she desired. If she had a baby now, she would not have time to advance her fame and status in the industry. How would she get richer?
"Aren't you happy about it?" Nathaniel thought Melanie would jump for joy at the news, giving him a few kisses at the least. However, she was so calm that it seemed like she was not excited about it.
"It's not like that. Have you told your mom that I'm pregnant?" she probed.
"No, I wanted to give her a surprise. What's wrong?"
His answer made Melanie feel relieved. "It's nothing. I think we shouldn't tell her about it so soon. After all, I just got pregnant, and you know what they say about how pregnancy can be unstable in the first few months. I'm just afraid that if something happened, we might lose our child." "Stop right there!" He interrupted her instantly as
displeasure was written all over his face. "Our child will be healthy and safe! Don't think of nonsense! The most important thing is to take care of yourself and our baby. You don't need to do anything else for now.
"Although my mom hadn't mentioned this before, I know she wants grandchildren. You know she had only given birth to a girl after remarrying, right? I'm her only son, so she would be elated if she knew you're pregnant."
"You shouldn't stress yourself out. I'm just talking about the possibility of it..." Melanie continued.
"Say nothing about that! That wouldn't happen!" Nathaniel stopped her from thinking that way.
