The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 66

Melanie was aware that her situation was not good at the moment, and she did not dare to act tough. She nodded to Stephen. “Thank you.”

Stephen lifted Melanie into his arms steadily. Although Melanie was tall, she was slender, and with Stephen being over 1.8 meters tall, she looked small and helpless in his arms.

While cradled in Stephen’s arms, Melanie raised her eyes and happened to meet Eugene’s deep and cold gaze. She hesitated for a moment but then lowered her gaze again, averting from his line of sight.

“Eugene?” Viola tugged at Eugene’s sleeve and reminded him softly, “Didn’t we agree to have dinner with Simon and the others?”

Eugene looked away from Melanie and glanced at her. He hummed in response to her, and they made their way toward his car.

Viola looked over at Stephen and Melanie with pursed–lips, but she quickly relaxed. She hooked her arm with Eugene’s, as if declaring her claim over him.

Melanie followed Stephen to the hospital. Her previously sprained ankle was injured again, and the doctor sternly advised her not to wear high heels.
