The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 129

Melanie did not look too good either. She nodded slowly and replied, “There was something I needed to do here.” Her voice was hoarse, and her fatigue was clear.

Viola’s gaze became even more alert at that. Forcing a smile, she asked, “Then why didn’t you come with us?”

Melanie really did not have the energy to deal with Viola’s suspicions at the moment. She picked up her cup, took a sip, and merely replied, “I came to deal with personal matters, so I took the day off.”

“Is that so?” Viola chuckled awkwardly and turned to Eugene, asking, “Eugene, are you not done with your work yet?”

Eugene calmly lifted his own cup and replied, “Not yet.”

Viola frowned, seemingly a bit dissatisfied. Theodore noticed her mood and teased, “What’s wrong, Viola? Don’t like Hearth City?”

Viola waved her hand quickly, expressing some of her distress. “I just seem to be having trouble adapting to the weather in Hearth City. I’ve got hives on my body.”

Theodore exclaimed, “You should be careful, then.”

Melanie just kept silent as if she was invisible. She had little appetite and barely ate.
