The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 116

Eugene remained calm and composed, holding her wrist firmly as he made his way forward with large strides. The intimate contact discomfited Melanie, who struggled against it.

“I thought you were pretending to be blind just now with how slow you were. What’s with the pretense now?” Eugene sneered above her head.

Melanie’s breath hitched as she whispered, “I have night blindness. I can’t see clearly. I wasn’t pretending.”

Eugene’s steps faltered for a moment before he chuckled lightly and commented, “That’s a pretty good excuse.”

Melanie said nothing else and let Eugene drag her to the entrance of the villa. When they finally reached a well–lit area, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Eugene lowered his gaze to adjust his sleeve. He then looked up at Melanie nonchalantly before entering.

Simon and Kellen were already sitting in the living room playing cards. When they saw Eugene and Melanie, they greeted them and said, “Eugene, come join us.”

Melanie glanced over and saw the group playing cards. Kellen had a woman sitting on his lap. Her makeup was thick on her face as she held his cards for him and responded to his words with a charming smile.
