Chapter 570
Melanie noticed Reny’s obvious dissatisfaction and was about to explain the situation when she met Xander’s gaze. He subtly shook his head and Melanie chose to remain silent.
They finished their meal and while cleaning up the kitchen with Xander, Melanie asked, “Don’t you want me to tell them?”
Xander pondered for a moment before saying, “Liana told me on the phone this afternoon that it’s better not to tell others before the pregnancy reaches three months.”
Melanie was genuinely unaware, so she asked, “Why?”
“I don’t know,” Xander answered truthfully. “But it’s better to be cautious.”
Melanie nodded. “Alright, you go out. I’ll handle the rest.”
Xander stood by the sink, wearing a set of black work clothes with a light blue apron over them, giving him a surprisingly homely appearance. He lowered his head and his disheveled hair fell onto his eyebrows.
Melanie could not help but think how versatile he was. However, she refrained from saying it out loud. After wiping her hands, she left the kitchen.
At the same time, Henry was looking at the dishes on the table and the expressionless Eugene. Feeling displeased, he dropped his cutleries on the table, saying, “I have no appetite; I don’t want to eat.”
“Is there something not to your liking?” Landon asked.
“Who eats in an atmosphere like this? Is this what you call having a meal?” The elderly man said, casting a meaningful glance at Eugene.
Sitting across from him, Eugene remained composed. “If you don’t like the food, Maria can make something else that suits your taste.”
“Was I talking about the food?” Henry huffed and puffed impatiently. “Have you seen Mel?”
“Yes, I have,” Eugene replied. “She said the child is not mine.”
The old man slapped the table, glaring at Eugene. “The child is not yours because you brought it upon yourself. I told you from the beginning to use your brain. You are just brainless.”
When Eugene discussed the matter with him initially, he disagreed because he knew that only emotions were the least resistant to testing in this world.

Eugene paused. “Do you have a better solution in mind?”
Henry fell silent. After a while, he sighed and shook his head. “It doesn’t really matter whose child is in Mel’s belly.”
Eugene looked up.
The old man immediately snorted, “If you have the capability, have a child with Mel yourself. If you don’t, treat this one as your own biological child. The Scott family can afford to raise a child.”
Saying that, the old man slammed the table again impatiently, “So I can eat my meal, instead of just staring at you.”
A strange emotion flickered across Eugene’s face. After a moment, he mockingly said, “Your mind sure is something else. You’re suggesting your own grandson present himself as a victim of cheating.”
“You’re the one who went looking for trouble,” Henry said.
There was a glimmer of brightness in Eugene’s cold eyes. However, before this brightness could last long, he heard the old man sigh again regretfully. “What a pity.”
Eugene was about to say something when his phone that he had placed nearby
rang.
Cedric’s commanding voice boomed in an unpleasant tone, “Eugene, regardless of where you are tomorrow, I demand you come back for lunch.”
