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.

Eugene paused. Melanie wrapped her hand around his wrist, raised her head, and said in a hoarse voice, “Eugene, you haven’t come to see me for a long time.”

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

When Melanie woke up the next day, her whole body ached.

She rubbed her temples and went to the bathroom. When she stood in front of the full–length mirror in the bathroom and saw the mottled marks on her body, she knew that last night was not a dream.

However, Eugene was very careful this time to not leave any marks on her neck.

That was probably because he was afraid that Viola would become suspicious.
