Chapter 140 “Why can't you fall asleep? Are you not feeling well? Are you restless?” Nathaniel immediately asked with concern.

“No, I'm fine. Maybe | can’t sleep because | miss you,” Melanie murmured as she tried to resist the temptation of accepting Frank's offer. “Can you cand see me, Nate?” “I will, soon. Just letfinish here, and I'll go to you immediately,” Nathaniel instantly replied without much thought. To Melanie, it felt like he was just giving her an excuse and was not sincere.

“What's keeping you so busy? The event will be over by then! Can't you cnow or tomorrow?! You just have to book a flight.

It only takes you two hours to get here. Can't you cand keepcompany?” Melanie whined unhappily.

“Mel, stop being unreasonable. You know what's happening. The company has just started recovering, and we still have many orders to deliver. We have to try harder since we're relying on our previous products. Also, we'll have to cup with something new soon.

“By the way, how's the search for a new employee coming? Have you met any talented perfumers?” Nathaniel could only think about the company and its profits as he was anxious about their company’s workforce. “No! You're only worried about the company. I'm pregnant, so how could | possibly have the strength to look for new employees as well? Do you think it's that simple?” Melanie was annoyed and started throwing tantrums.

Nathaniel could only explain patiently, “I know it isn't easy, but we need a capable perfumer, or else we won't be able to keep up with the demands in the industry!” “You don't care about anything else aside from your business! You didn't even bother askinghow | was or if anything bad happened today. You knew Lily was here today, yet you didn't even care to ask. Do you know how awful | felt during the sampling event today? “I almost embarrassed myself!” Melanie started to explode as she released all her pent-up anger on Nathaniel because he chose to only talk about work instead of ensuring she was alright. It was as if there were only work-related matters, nothing more.

Nathaniel was not like this when they first got together. He was romantic and would surprise Melanie with gifts or bring her to events with him. Nathaniel would even travel a long way to kiss her, but now, he would not even call Melanie to ask how she was doing.

He was stunned by her outburst and remained silent for a long while before asking, “W-What happened at the event? What do you mean by ‘you almost embarrassed yourself? What did Lily do to you?” “Do you even care?” Melanie sat up, covered her face with her hand, and sobbed, “Nathaniel, do you still remember what your promises were when we first started dating?” “What?” he asked in confusion.

“Hmph, it looks like youve forgotten all about it. You didn't even take it seriously, | guess. Men are always making empty promises. You were just toying with me. | was such a fool to believe you back then!” Nathaniel had promised Melanie that she would not have to work hard and that she just needed to be his trophy wife. He also said he would shower Melanie with riches and fame. However, Nathaniel could not recall his promises, so how should he possibly fulfill them now? “N-No, Mel, |..." Nathaniel could not understand what Melanie meant.

“I'm tired, so I'm going to bed,” Melanie drew a deep breath as her expression turned cold.

“Mel, | know you're not in a good mood today, but please be patient with me. The company is not as it used to be. We didn't have to worry about the production line when Lily worked for us, but she’s gone now, so we have to step up our game,” he paused and added, “If you could cup with a new line, it would...” “So now this is all my fault?” Melanie grabbed her blanket and continued furiously, “It's all because of my incompetence. It's all my fault because I'm not as capable as Lily. I'm so sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Hall.” “No, wait, Mel. That's not what | meant!” Nathaniel knew he had misspoken, so he tried to make amends. Unfortunately, Melanie was too crossed to be reasoned with, so she hung up.
