Chapter 167


    Chapter 167 After taking a cold shower, Nathaniel came out feeling calmer. He noticed Mnie was


    lying on the bed, fast asleep, and the food he had ordered remained untouched on the table. He moved


    to her side, covered her with a nket, and then went to eat dinner.


    He arrived in a hurry and did not have time to eat. He had been busy with work recently, so having


    proper meals was the least of his concern. Nathaniel had been having stomach problems for some time


    now. If he até too much or too little, his stomach would hurt.


    He swiftly gobbled down some food, not daring to overeat, and turned toward the sleeping Mnie.


    She was snoring softly; this was Nathaniel‘s first time hearing her snore after dating for a long time. It


    was apparent that the recent happenings had worn her out.


    Mnie was also newly pregnant, so her body conditions might have changed. Nathaniel could make


    out the dark circles forming around her eyes. She was particr about her appearance, yet she had


    allowed herself to look tired. This could only mean that she was too exhausted to care about it.


    Nathaniel felt guilty for suspecting her actions a while ago.


    gued with guilt, he walked over andy beside her. He hugged her from behind and thought about


    being like this forever. He wanted to get married, have a child, and work together to expand the


    Even without Lily‘s help, he could always look for someone else for thepany. However, Nathaniel


    still preferred someone gentle and obedient when looking for a suitable wife, unlike Lily.


    When he thought of Lily, he could feel the back of his neck hurting again. The other day at the alley, Lily


    was so different from her usual self. It was as if she was a different person. “Hmm,” Mnie stirred in


    his embrace as she felt ufortable. She turned around to hug him and slowly woke up.


    “Urgh, how long have I been asleep?” she asked as she adorably rubbed her sleepy eyes.


    “You were exhausted. Go back to sleep,” Nathaniel said, and then he thought of something,” Are you

    hungry? Do you want something to eat?” “Sure!” Mnie felt hungry the instant Nathaniel reminded her


    about food. She stood up and walked over to the table. The dishes were half eaten, but Nathaniel was


    considerate. He had already moved her portion onto another te and left quite some food for her.


    Mnie picked up her fork and started eating when her phone vibrated. She had been holding on to


    her phone for quite some time as Nathaniel was there, as she was afraid that he would see it.


    Mnie was uneasy even though she had not read the text message. She stole a peek at Nathaniel


    and noticed that he was also looking down at his phone. She sighed in relief and unlocked her screen.


    It was Frank, as expected. His message was brief, “Come to the hotel‘s restaurant and have dinner


    with me.”


    Mnie frowned at his condescending tone and replied, “I‘m about to go to bed.” “Are you refusing


    me?”


    Mnie shivered as she could feel his wrath even from the other side of the screen. She wanted to


    reiect him, but she did not dare to. Mnie nced at Nathaniel and hoped that the fact he was here


    would discourage Frank from trying anything.


    “Fine.”


    She deleted all the text messages between them. Mnie would ensure that no evidence or leverage


    could be used against her. Then, she lowered her fork, walked toward Nathaniel, sat down, and sighed.


    “What‘s wrong?” Nathaniel asked when he heard her sigh. He turned to look at the food on the table


    and noticed she had barely touched them, “Are they not to your liking? What do you feel like having?


    Should I order room service or get something for you?”
