Chapter 277
Nathaniel forcefully pulled his hand from Melanie‘s grip and sighed.
“Forget it. Mel, we all know there‘s no way for us to go back to the past. It‘s impossible to start all over again!” He exclaimed. Then he lowered his eyes and looked at her belly.
“I think we should forget about this child.”
Those words caught Melanie off guard as she did not expect him to be so resolute about not having this child. He was someone that liked children, and he cared about their unborn child back then. Yet now, he was suggesting abortion. His words meant that he would break up with her.
However, Melanie would not let that happen. Even if they were to break up, she thought she should be the one to bring it up, not him. What rights did he have? She had sacrificed so much for him, so many years of her youth. What rights did Nathaniel have to decide how their relationship moved forward?
“Of course, but if you insist on keeping this child, I‘ll be responsible for providing child support. However...”
After a pause, Nathaniel looked up at Mel. “I don‘t think you‘d want to. Do you want this baby?”
His gaze made her tremble. In addition to her apparent guilty conscience, there was also unwillingness and embarrassment in her eyes.
“Nathaniel Hall, how can you be so heartless?”
“Mel, you and I came so far. I admit that I play a part in this, but don‘t you as well? Do you honestly think I don‘t know anything about what you did to Lily?” Nathaniel did not hold back, as they were already at a point of no return.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
It was not that he did not know about it before; he was just biased back then. He wrapped all his thoughts and feelings around Melanie. Naturally, he tolerated everything she did and willingly turned a blind eye.
After looking at things once he calmed down, he realized his mother was right. He had terrible taste in women, after all. Nathaniel just hoped he was not too late and could still fix things.
“At the end of the day, you just regret all this, don‘t you? You regret choosing me and regret giving Lily up. Am I right?!” Melanie was furious, and she began to accuse Nathaniel angrily.
Hearing this, Nathaniel raised his head and answered in an extraordinarily calm and firmi manner, “Yes!”
He did not beat around the bush and bluntly stated his thoughts, “I do regret it. I‘ve wronged Lily, and now, I‘ve wronged you. Mel, I can‘t give you what you want. We‘re all on the same path. We should let each other go and sight for our dreams.”
Melanie looked at Nathaniel like he was a different person, as she was full of doubts. “No, you weren‘t like this before. Who is it? Did someone tell you something? Is it Lily? Has she visited you?”
After thinking about it, that was the only possibility. Otherwise, why would Nathaniel suddenly bring Lily up? ‘Lily is sinister. She moved on Frank before this and turned around to seduce Nathaniel. She is planning to take Nate from me. Lily is trying to take everything away from me!
Nathaniel had no idea what Mel was thinking and said, “It‘s not her. Stop guessing.”
The more he said, the more Melanie felt that this was all Lily‘s fault. Melanie‘s once beautiful face was now ferocious from anger.
“All right, then, Nathaniel! Since you‘re already so ruthless, don‘t blame me for being unrighteous! Ilowever, remember this; it‘s not you that broke up with me. It‘s the other way around! You can get together with Lily, so just wait! You‘ll regret it! By then, you’ll know who‘s tlic better option!”
This time, Melanie really left. Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief as he heard the footsteps gradually fading away. He realized that although he was a little reluctant, the relief felt overpowered it.
Would he regret this? Only time could tell. In any case, he did regret giving Lily up.
The next time Lily stopped by the woodcarving shop, the young man in the shop was gone. The only person there was the owner.
