The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 36

Eugene helped Melanie into her house. Soon after, his phone rang.

Viola asked him when he would be there, as he had promised to accompany her later. After hanging up the phone, Eugene wanted to leave, but Melanie held his fingers. Melanie sat obediently on the sofa, holding his hand. She drank a lot, so she smelled of alcohol, and her eyes were bloodshot.

After she finished speaking, she stood up, hooked her arms around Eugene’s neck, and kissed his lips.
