Chapter 561 

Eugene’s gaze turned cold. He stared into Henry’s eyes as if he were about to break down any second. 

He slowly asked, “Did she say she’s pregnant?” 

“We found out during the check–up in the hospital.” Henry stomped his walking cane. “I think Melanie didn’t intend to let you know. You’re just a brat with nothing, but you’re so good at torturing her. 

“Well, she’s left you. Are you happy now?” 

Eugene showed no response to Henry’s scolding. 

“Are you listening to me?” Henry’s face was ashen. He warned Eugene, I like Melanie, and it’s not because of you. Even if you have nothing to do with her anymore, I’ll still treat her as my granddaughter. Don’t you ever dare have any feelings for my granddaughter!” 

Then, he stood up angrily and left with Landon’s help. 

Only then did Eugene show some reaction. 

His pupils quivered as he stared at Henry, who was leaving. He started organizing the documents. 

The office was so quiet that Eugene could even hear a pin drop. 

After a moment, Eugene put the documents back in their place and stood there. 

Henry’s angry voice lingered in his ears. 

Melanie was pregnant! 

A mix of emotions rose within him. 

“Mr. Scott…” Lee sounded worried. Only then did Eugene’s knitted brows 

loosened. 

He looked at Lee. 

Lee said after a while, “Mr. Scott, there’s a meeting in ten minutes. I’ve been calling you. Is everything alright? Do you need me to postpone the meeting?” 

Eugene’s entangled thoughts dissipated, and he pondered before saying, “Cancel the lunch break and bring forward the whole meeting.” 

Lee had something to say but nodded when he saw Eugene’s expression. 

Ever since Eugene reminded them about the proposal for the third phase, 

Melanie had been urging Oliver to finish it. 

Oliver knew he had been delaying the progress and did it overnight within two days after returning from the site. 

Melanie wanted to help, but many professional terms and data were needed. 

She was incapable of dealing with those yet. 

Melanie got more professional books from Xander to enhance her knowledge further. 

Xander and Reny would also explain the things Melanie did not understand to her. 

Melanie felt bad for troubling them. “You’re already busy working yet I’m being a nuisance by getting you to teach me,” 

Xander glanced at her and took out a box of dried plums. He placed it before Melanie, saying in his deep and gentle voice, “A client gave me this. His wife dried the plums without adding any additives. They might be able to ease your nausea.” 

Melanie looked at the box of dried plums as a strange feeling burned in her. 

However, maybe because her hormone levels were high, Melanie’s nausea was worse than others. 

She could not take any medication and could only bear with it. 

With a smile, she took the dried plums. “Oliver said he can finish it by tonight. Why don’t we have a meal? Let’s take a break from the stress.” 

Before Xander could say a word, Reny, who walked past them, said, “Let’s go to the fish and chips store nearby. The food there looks tasty!” 

Xander rejected. “No fish.” 

“Huh? Why?” 

Xander brushed her off with an answer, “I don’t like the fishy smell.” 

Reny accepted it disappointedly. “Why don’t we have a barbecue instead?”
