The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 97

Melanie’s thoughts began to drift into the past. She sat on the sofa in a daze for a while before she remembered to call Stephen, asking him to visit her grandfather on her behalf for a while. Stephen agreed without a question, putting Melanie’s heart a little more at ease.

“I’m really sorry to trouble you with this, Stephen.”
