His secret spoiled wife (Lily and Alexander)

Chapter 186

Chapter 186 “Mom?” Nathaniel asked Eloise in confusion. He was stunned as he had not expected her

to say that “Why would Lily tamper with the formula? How many years have you been dating each

other? You know very well that most of your company‘s products were created by Lily. She had always

been obedient to you. Why‘d you force her to leave?” While Eloise spoke, she capped hier knuckles on

the tabletop, her expression severe. She looked like a ster teacher reprimanding lire student who had

just made a mistake.

Eloise‘s questions puzzled Nathaniel. He was embarrassed and was about to break out in a cold

sweat. “Mom...”

“I asked Frank to help you because you‘re my son. I don‘t want to see you fail after you‘ve worked hard

for such a long time. However, that didn‘t mean that you did nothing wrong. Nate, you made a big

mistake!” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She was merciless in her criticisms, and the person who felt most awkward now was Melanie.

‘What‘s going on? I came here with Nathaniel to meet my future mother–in–law, but she didn‘t care

about me. Ever since she arrived, she did not look at me properly or said anything to me! Not only that,

she‘s praising his son‘s ex–girlfriend when I‘m here. What in the world is this?

Melanie felt awkward just sitting at the table. It was giving her anxiety.

Nathaniel defended himself against his mother‘s rebuke, unwilling to back down. “Mom, I can‘t control

my heart. Mel is the woman I love. I can‘t possibly spend the rest of my life with Lily when I don‘t love

her!

“Yes, you‘re right. Lily is a talented perfumer, but you can‘t expect me to marry her just because of that,

can you? I admit I took advantage of her, but I also gave her a lot in return! Like you said, we‘ve been

dating for so many years, and yet she could just turn her back on me overnight. This just proves how

heartless she is.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “A person like her might betray me any time in the future,

even if she did not do it now! I just got rid of things that might harm the company.

His voice grew softer toward the end. Maybe he was not confident about his justification as well.

Eloise glared at him. “Do you want me to praise you for that?”

“That‘s not what I mean. Mom, I brought Mel here to meet you today. Let‘s not bring up the past

anymore. No matter what Lily did, everything is history, and she‘s gone. I love Mel, and she‘s going to

be your daughter–in–law. I‘m going to marry her.”

After Eloise said her piece, she stopped rebuking Nathaniel and looked closely at Melanie. However,

Melanie sensed from Eloise‘s stare that she did not like her.

“You‘re an adult now, and I can‘t stop you from doing whatever you want. You have your own plans in

life too. Still, about the marriage, I’d like to advise you... the both of you, to think about it carefully,”

Eloise said and took her bag from the chair next to her. “Marriage isn‘t a

game. If you insist on getting married, just go ahead.” Then, she handed a debit card to Nathaniel.

“This is a gift from me. You know very well that I can’t attend your wedding. The passcode is your

birthdate. No matter what, I want you to live a good life.”

“Thanks, Mom!” Nathaniel accepted the card and said happily. “I understand. Your approval and

blessings are already enough for us.” “Well then, today‘s meal had taken up a lot of time. I‘ll be leaving

now.” Eloise stood up, preparing to leave. “Yeah, I‘ll leave after an hour. Mom, take care.” Nathaniel

stood up but realized that Melanie was still slouching in her seat. He immediately pulled her up, and

finally, she got up to her feet, too, albeit slowly. That did not bother Eloise. She just patted Nathaniel on

his shoulder. “You too.”
