He approached Mnie while holding his belly, reaching out as if to touch her. He looked up and was met with Eugene’s cold


    gaze. Startled, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.


    Only then did Mnie turn to look at Eugenie.


    He stood behind her, holding her securely in his embrace. He was dressed in a suit and wore a long trench coat over it. His hair


    fell naturally over his eyebrows, probably to conceal the scar on his forehead.


    Yvette subtly tugged at the hem of Mnie’s clothes and winked at her.


    Yvette was lively by nature but also adept at reading the room. She noted that Mnie’s expression was not good when she left


    with Howard earlier.


    Thus, she discreetly took a photo of the two of them and sent it to Eugene, hoping to get closer to him. She did not expect


    Eugene to arrive so soon.


    Observing the atmosphere in the room, she cleared her throat and grabbed Mnie’s arm. “You''re pregnant, but you''re being so


    reckless. What if you bump into something? What will you do then?”


    “What? Pregnant?” Howard overheard her words and stared at Mnie incredulously, “You’re pregnant?!” He took a couple of


    steps forward as if to verify with Mnie. Eugene immediately reached out and pulled Mnie behind him.


    Mnie looked up as she did not want to look at Howard. She unexpectedly met Eugene’s gaze head- on. He shielded her


    behind him, and his voice was low as he growled. “Didn''t you hear? She has to be careful not to bump into anything.”


    Howard red at Mnie. “I’m asking you, what''s going on? Mnie, why didn’t you tell me about your pregnancy?!”


    He pointed at Eugene, his eyes wide with fury. “Is it his? I’m asking you, is it his?!”


    “What does it matter whose it is?” Mnie suppressed her emotions as she stepped out from behind Eugene.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    Her voice turned cold as she countered, “Since you disappeared for over a decade, what right do you have to assume the role of


    my father? What exactly gives you that right, Howard?”


    However, Howard did not seem to hear her question. He continued ring at her intensely before shifting his gaze to Eugene,


    who was standing beside her. His tone was filled with anger and


    bitterness.


    “Mnie, you''ve disappointed me greatly! A child outside of marriage is such a disgraceful thing. How could you do this-”


    A faint scoff came from above her, and Mnie looked up to see Eugene shaking his head slightly. Seeing Howard’s furious and


    vtile demeanor, she could not bear to stay any longer. She feared she


    might vomit.


    Pulling on Eugene’s coat, she turned around and left without a word.

    Yvette dared not say anything either, she nced in the direction of the private room and murmured, “Well, Mr. Scott, | won’t


    disturb you anymore. Take good care of Mel,


    “Oh, and by the way, pay more attention to her health, Pregnant women shouldn''t get too agitated, It’s very dangerous.”


    With that, she left. However, after walking a distance away, she took out her phone, opened her chat, and clicked on her


    conversation with Nicole.


    After hesitating for a moment, she sent the photo she had taken sneakily with a message attached: [ Doesn''t this man look a lot


    like Matthew? And doesn’t he resemble Mnie too?)
