Nathaniel prohibited Melanie from working once they returned from Middle Valley, and she could no longer enter the lab. He claimed that the laboratory’s chemicals were dangerous for the unborn child. Recently, he had been extremely attentive to her, attending to her every need. Frank parted ways with the two for the tbeing. Fortunately, he gave Melanie the formulas of two perfumes before he left. He said it was his latest research outcand a reward for Melanie,

However, what Frank had given her was far from enough. She wanted more. It was just that the thought of him still made her tremble in fear. It was great for them to spend stapart for now. Her body could recover while she used this tto think things through.
“What‘s on your mind?” Nathaniel asked as he walked over with a glass of warm milk. He truly cared for her in all aspects of her life now. She took the glass from him and smiled. “It‘s nothing. I was hoping our new products would be available in tfor the annual perfumery competition at the year‘s end. Even second place would benefit the company if we were to win an award.”
“My thoughts exactly.” Nathaniel pinched the tip of Melanie‘s nose and said, “I’ve already begun the preparations. Registration for the annual perfumery competition will close next month, so we must launch our new products as soon as possible. It‘ll be even better if they‘re a big hit in the market. I‘ve tried them, and I think they‘re pretty good. There should not be a problem.”
“That‘s great. I hope this will help us offset the company‘s losses. You‘ll be less stressed this way, too,” she said and breathed a sigh of relief.
It touched him to see that Melanie still cared about him and the company, even when she was pregnant and feeling under the weather. “Mel, you‘re too nice to me.”

Nathaniel nodded quickly. “You‘re right! The company is mine, and that means it‘s yours too. In the future, it‘ll belong to our children. Mel, I‘m so glad that I chose you back then. If I had chosen Lily, she...”
The thought of Lily‘s heartless behavior made him highly uneasy. They dated for a couple of years, yet he never knew her darker side. He did not expect Lily to tamper with the formula, and she turned egotistical when he tried to make up with her.
‘Did she think that the company would shut down without her? Soon, I‘ll make her regret everything she did!
At the sound of Lily‘s name, Melanie frowned. “Don‘t talk about her! It disgusts me!”
“That‘s right. It‘s disgusting to talk about her. Drink the milk, and I have another good news for you.” “What is it?” Melanie drank it in one go, making her feel much better. Nathaniel adjusted her pillow, helping her to lie down as he tucked her into bed. “I‘ve talked to you about our marriage before,” he paused for a moment, then said, “I‘ve told my mom about it, and she wants to meet you.” “Your mom?” Melanie blinked. “You mean Ms. Neville?”
“Yeah,” he said while nodding, “After meeting her, we can start preparing for our wedding. You wouldn‘t want to be in your wedding dress with an enormous belly, would you?”
