The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 15

Eugene’s eyes fell on Melanie, who said nonchalantly, “My car broke down on the road”

Melanie picked up the glass of wine that Eugene pushed to Stephen and said, “I can drink on his behalf if you want someone to drink with.

“Drink on his behalf?” Eugene spoke through clenched teeth. He looked at them playfully and said casually, “Ms. Smith, what’s your relationship with Mr. York that you can drink in his stead?”

Melanie frowned. The displeasure in Eugene’s tone was obvious.

Viola, who had been silent, suddenly asked in surprise, “Mr. York, are you Melanie’s boyfriend?”

Melanie was startled. She glanced at Viola with cold eyes and was just about to speak when Eugene said, “Is that so?”

Eugene stared at Melanie with deep eyes and waited for her answer.

“We’re just friends.”

Since Stephen said so, the others had nothing else to say.
