NovelEnglishChapter 552
The following day, when Melanie returned to the villa, Xander and the others were home. When they saw her, Xander asked,
“Are you alright? Yvonne said you were feeling unwell yesterday and stayed in your house.”
It seemed Yvonne had not told anyone about her pregnancy.
Melanie looked at Xander. Upon seeing his concerned gaze, Melanie decided after consideration. ” Xander, I have something to
tell you.”
It was early autumn and in the morning. Melanie only wore thin clothes with a windbreaker. It did not look warm.
A jacket was draped on her shoulder when she walked into the yard. Xander said gently, “Wear something thicker.”
Melanie, who had prepared herself to be honest, was taken aback. She lowered her head and bit her lips, unable to say the
words she had prepared.
“What’s wrong?” After a pause, Xander looked at her silently.
“I...” Melanie took a deep breath. She took off the coat on her shoulders and handed it back to Xander.
Her eyelashes fluttered as she spoke softly, “Xander, I am pregnant.”
Xander said nothing and did not take the jacket she handed back to him. Melanie pursed her lips and
looked at him.
the waves in the dark sea.
Melanie felt the jacket being taken away by Xander.
She forced a smile and was about to speak when Xander asked, “Is Eugene the baby’s father?”
Melanie nodded slightly.
After silence, Xander asked, “Does he know?”
Melanie said, “I won’t let him know.”
“So, you have decided to keep this child?” Xander’s gaze was complicated as he looked at Melanie.
Melanie looked at the tree from afar. After a moment of hesitation, she was determined again.
She nodded. “Yes.”
It was the answer she got after thinking about it all night.
Melanie snapped out of her motions and blinked her eyes. “I’ll head back then.”
Just as she spoke, Xander’s jacket was back on her shoulder. Then, the man’s warm and minty

embrace approached her, holding her in his arms.
Xander placed his chin on her shoulder.
He said nothing and hugged Melanie. Only when Melanie felt his hug was too tight and wanted to push him away did she hear
Melanie stopped. She let Xander hug her for a while before sighing. “Xander, I am pregnant.”

“I know.” Xander froze and chuckled bitterly. “Melanie, I thought I could bear with it, but the fact is, I
am jealous of Eugene.”
Of course, he would be jealous seeing the woman he liked pregnant with some other man’s child.
Melanie listened to Xander’s confession and did not know what to say. She could only stand there
silently.
However,
her silence was shattered by another voice. “It’s quite interesting to see this early in the morning.” Simon’s playful voice broke the
silence in the morning.
Melanie froze and looked outside the yard.
The first person she noticed was not Simon. Instead, it was Eugene beside him.
Expressionlessly, Eugene stood below the willow tree, staring at her.
The black suit on him added coldness to his temperament. A leaf dropped off the tree and fell on his
shoulder.
Melanie looked into his eyes as tears shimmered in her eyes.
“Mr. Solomon, it’s good to be young, but I advise you to retrain yourself a little. After all, you are in the public, which isn’t
appropriate.”
Xander’s face was ashen.
He stared at Simon before looking at Eugene beside him.
His gaze was cold and serious, as if he was about to beat Eugene up anytime soon.
