Cedric frowned and said in a stern voice, “Why did you come here? Eugene said you wouldn’t come.”

“I was stuck in traffic. Happy birthday, Uncle.” Melanie’s expression was flawless. She smiled slightly and sat down in the empty seat next to Eugene, who was messaging Viola.

Melanie said, “You asked me to wait for you in the underground parking lot.”

Eugene paused. “I forgot.”

He was very calm as he said, “It looked like it was going to rain, so I sent Viola home first. You have a car anyway.”

“You didn’t reply to my message.” Melanie lowered her eyelashes to conceal the emotions. swirling in her eyes.
