Chapter 559
Looking disappointed, Henry held Melanie’s arm silently for a long time without knowing what to say.
Melanie felt bad seeing Henry’s disappointment. She felt as if she was holding onto something, and it
suffocated her.
Clara held Henry and looked at Melanie apologetically. “I’ll take Henry back home first. You…”
Before Clara could finish, Melanie said in a husky voice, “Don’t worry about me. Grandpa Henry’s health is more important.”
Clara nodded and helped Henry walk.
Melanie wanted to see Henry off, but she stopped when she looked at Henry’s hunched back.
She did not know how to face Henry.
Not to mention explaining this to him.
She felt like a dumb person, unable to speak out for herself.
However, Henry turned around. He looked older, and even his wrinkles were noticeable.
He glanced at Melanie’s belly before looking at her face. After a while, he sighed and said, “I will not
be at ease to let you go back alone after seeing you being so nauseous.”
Melanie felt worse upon receiving Henry’s kindness.
She felt like crying.
Noticing Melanie’s stare, Henry signed and said, “This matter is shocking. Mel, please give me some time to accept it. You are pregnant now, and I won’t be that muddle-headed to dump you here just
like that.”
Melanie had been pondering Henry’s reaction upon knowing she was pregnant. He might be disappointed or even stay away from her, yet she did not see this coming.
She pursed her lips and did not know how to react.
Clara hid her surprised expression and reminded Melanie. “Since Henry said so, accept his offer. After all, your place isn’t far from ours.”
No one spoke along the way home.
When Melanie stepped out of the car, Henry asked her, “Can you tell me who the child’s father is?”
He asked reluctantly.
Melanie did not know how to lie about that. After all, it would not be nice to use another man’s name.
Henry saw her hesitation and sighed again. “Forget it. Does Eugene know about it?”

“I didn’t tell him.”
Henry still looked like he had plenty of things to say to Melanie. However, Melanie knew she could not say much and thanked them before leaving.
Henry looked at Melanie’s slim back in the car, and it looked like he was pondering something
Clara lamented, “It’s unexpected that Melanie is pregnant.”
Henry’s expression turned cold as he snorted. “That brat doesn’t know how to cherish Melanie. Serves him right! He will regret it one day.”
Clara froze. “It seems like she doesn’t plan to let Eugene know.”
“The brat has done something like that to Mel. Of course, she won’t want him to know!” Henry was so pissed off, and his chest heaved.
Clara comforted him. “Don’t be mad. Just let him be.”
“I will be happier without my son and grandson!” Henry snapped. Everyone in the Scott family was useless, and he was annoyed to see them like that.
Clara did not know what to do and instructed the driver to send Henry home.
Melanie thought Henry needed a long time to accept it.
However, Clara came to visit the next day.
Behind her were two nannies with lots of goody bags in their hands.
Melanie was taken aback. “Madam Franklin, why are you here?”
Feeling helpless, Clara said, “Henry asked someone to send these to me, saying they are for you. He wants you to look after yourself and not tire yourself during pregnancy.”
Melanie looked at the supplements in the nanny’s hand and hesitated before saying, “I am fine. I can’t accept these.”.
Clara wore a fitting dress and looked elegant in it.
