The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 27

Eugene did not even look at Melanie. He took the bag from Viola’s hand and said in a cold voice, “I don’t know. Let’s go upstairs first.”

Eugene left Jesenburg in the middle of the night, ignoring Melanie’s suggestion. He was still angry at her.

Viola nodded tiredly and said, “Melanie, my father just got out of surgery this morning and is still in the ICU, so he can’t take visitors.”

Melanie looked at the couple, lowered her eyes, and explained, “I’m actually going to the nursing home.”

Viola realized that she had made the wrong assumption and smiled awkwardly. “Oh, sorry.” “No worries.” Melanie walked past them and headed straight for the nursing home.

After taking a few steps, she heard Viola complaining to Eugene. “That was so embarrassing! Why didn’t you tell me?”

Eugene whispered something to Viola that Melanie could not hear. She just saw them carrying their things into the hospital.
