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.”

“It’s nothing. As it happens, my mother has a follow–up exam at the sanatorium tomorrow.” Stephen was not particularly bothered. Instead, he changed the subject and asked Melanie, ” So, what do you think of Xander?”

Melanie told him her honest thoughts. “He’s very nice.‘

Stephen laughed. “That’s good to hear. Xander is very good to his friends.”

Now that her right hand was injured, many things became quite inconvenient for Melanie. She could not possibly find anyone else to help her, either, so she had to do everything slowly.

When she went downstairs the next morning, she accidentally stumbled across Eugene and Evelyn.

Neither of them looked happy with each other. Melanie paused before stepping forward and asking Eugene, “Can I take the day off?”

Eugene glanced at her bandaged hand. “Does it still hurt?”
