<b>Chapter </b><b>628 </b>
He approached Mnie while holding his belly, reaching out as if to touch her. He looked <i>up </i>and was met with Eugene’s cold gaze. Startled, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Only then did Mnie turn to look at Eugenie.
He stood behind her<b>, </b>holding her securely in his embrace. He was dressed in a suit and wore a long trench coat over it. His hair fell naturally over his eyebrows, probably to conceal the scar on his forehead.
Yvette subtly tugged at the hem <b>of </b>Mnie’s clothes and winked at her.
Yvette was lively by nature but also adept at reading the room. She noted that Mnie’s expression was not good when she left with Howard earlier.
Thus<b>, </b>she discreetly took a photo of the two of them and sent it to Eugene, hoping to <b>get </b>closer to him. She did not expect Eugene to arrive <b>so </b>soon.
Observing the atmosphere in the room<b>, </b>she cleared her throat and grabbed Mnie’s arm. “You’re pregnant, but you’re being so reckless. What if you bump into something? What will you do then?”
“What? Pregnant?” Howard overheard her words and stared at Mnie incredulously, “You’re pregnant?!” He took a couple <b>of </b>steps forward as if to verify with Mnie. Eugene immediately reached out and pulled Mnie behind him.
Mnie looked up as she did not want to look <b>at </b>Howard. She unexpectedly met Eugene’s gaze head- on. <b>He </b>shielded her behind him<b>, </b>and his voice was low as he growled. “Didn’t you hear? She has to be careful not to bump into anything.”
Howard red at Mnie. “I’m asking you, what’s going on? Mnie<b>, </b>why didn’t you tell me about your pregnancy?!”
He pointed at Eugene<b>, </b>his eyes wide with fury<b>. </b>“Is it his<b>? </b><b>I’m </b>asking <b>you</b><b>, </b><b>is </b><b>it </b>his?!”
“What does it matter whose it is?<b>” </b>Mnie suppressed her emotions as she stepped out from behind Eugene.
Her <b>voice </b>turned cold as she countered, “Since you disappeared for over a decade, what right do you have <b>to </b>assume the role of my father? What exactly gives <b>you </b>that right, Howard?”
However<b>, </b>Howard did not seem to hear her question. <b>He </b>continued ring at her intensely before shifting his gaze to Eugene, who was standing beside her<b>. </b><b>His </b>tone <b>was </b>filled with anger and
bitterness.
“Mnie<b>, </b>you’ve disappointed me greatly! A child outside of marriage <b>is </b>such a disgraceful thing. <b>How </b>could you <b>do </b>this-”
A faint scoff came from above <b>her</b><b>, </b>and Mnie looked up <b>to </b><b>see </b>Eugene shaking <b>his </b><b>head </b>slightly. Seeing Howard’s furious and <b>vtile </b><b>demeanor</b>, she could not bear <b>to </b><b>stay </b>any longer. She feared she
might vomit.
Pulling on Eugene’s coat, she turned around and left without a word.

Yvette dared not say anything either, she nced in the direction of the private room and murmured, “Well, Mr. Scott, I won’t disturb you anymore. Take good care of Mel,
“<b>Oh</b>, and by the way, pay more attention to her health, Pregnant women shouldn’t get too agitated, It’s very dangerous.”
With that, she left. However, after walking a distance away, she took out her phone, opened her chat, and clicked on her conversation with Nicole.
After hesitating for a moment<b>, </b>she sent the photo she had taken sneakily with a message attached: [ Doesn’t this man look a lot like Matthew? And doesn’t he resemble Mnie too?)
