Melanie still rejected him even though he begged her repeatedly. "You just said you won’t let me suffer anymore. Do you not know that now is the most unstable time for me? Are you planning to ignore me and the baby's safety for your own selfish desires? Would you not regret it if something happened to me?"
Melanie looked extremely aggrieved as she lowered her head and looked away. Nathaniel quickly regained his rationale and lost his desire.
"I'm sorry. I'm at fault for not being able to control myself." He apologized repeatedly. After some thought, he stood up and said, "Have a good rest.
Room service should deliver the food soon. I’ll go and take a shower," After saying that, he rushed into the bathroom.
Melanie could hear running water coming from inside the bathroom. She knew Nathaniel must be taking a cold shower to suppress his desires. Melanie felt guilty. After all, Nathaniel had always treated her well, and she was thrilled that he had flown so far just to see her.
However, it was impossible to take back what had happened between her and Frank. Since Melanie paid the price, she must have something in return because her relationship with Frank was just a deal. The two would go their separate ways in the end. She thought
she could strike a balance between Nathaniel and Frank if she were careful enough.
