I'm pregnant Sir Behave Yourself by Daphne

Chapter 390

As she spoke, Melissa's gaze went around the house, trying to find a trace of Xavier.

"Aunt Lacey, why hasn't Cousin Xavier come back yet? " Melissa asked.

Lacey sighed loudly. "Sigh. Tanner Corporation is currently in a severe financial crisis. Your cousin goes out early and returns late every day to save the dying company. There's no other way to it..."

"Don't worry, Aunt Lacey. When I go back, I'll ask my brother and dad for financial resources. That should help Tanner Corp through its current difficulties." Melissa said, trying to please her.

Melissa might have studied business administration in college, but she only knew how to live the high life. Even her admission to the college was bought over with a lot of money. How would she know about the lies and deception that happened in business?

Her father and brother spoiled her, which made her think that if she went home and asked nicely, she would be able to persuade them to help finance Tanner Corporation.

"What a good girl. Anyone would be lucky to have you as his wife." While the two were chatting, Xavier walked in, reeking of alcohol and hostility.

Xavier had a well-built body and a delicate face. Under the light, he looked all the more enchanting.

"You're back, Xavier!" Melissa, who had been paying attention to any sounds coming from the door, saw Xavier and immediately went over to greet him.

When Xavier saw Melissa, his expression instantly became gloom. "Why is she here, Mom?"

He did not like his beautiful, naive, and conceited distant cousin.

His impression of her worsened after the incident in Blue Honors when Melissa embarrassed him in front of Bianca.

Xavier was very thirsty and ignored Melissa's admiring gaze. He picked up the glass on the coffee table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in big gulps.

"Xavier, is this how you speak to your cousin? She came all the way to see me, and this is how you treat her?"

Lacey saw her son being indifferent to Melissa. With a look of dissatisfaction, she began to nag Xavier, "Have you been out drinking again? How many times do I have to tell you that your cousin just got back from abroad and you need to spend more time with her? Why won't you listen to me? Are you trying to anger m
