Chapter 164

It was Simon,

Melanie’s forehead creased slightly, and she wanted to excuse herself to go to the parking lot first. However, Simon had lifted his head lazily,

When he saw Melanie with Stephen, he squinted and snickered before laughing.

“Stephen, you’ve been rejecting my invitation because of this woman?” Simon’s way of putting things made them feel uncomfortable,

Stephen rebuked, “Simon, stop it.”

Simon shrugged, looked at Melanie, and lifted his eyebrow. “Melanie, when are you going to give Stephen an answer? It isn’t nice to keep him waiting like this.”

Melanie asked calmly, “When have I ever kept him waiting?”

Simon’s despise was obvious, yet he said nothing sarcastic in front of Stephen.

Then, he said coldly, “Alright. Whatever you say.”

After they were a distance away from Simon, Stephen apologized to Melanie, “Mel, I’m sorry.

It wasn’t the first time Simon had been sarcastic to her.

Even Melanie did not know when she had provoked him.

However, it was understandable. If even Eugene did not take her seriously, why would his friends

have to?

When Melanie thought about this, she smiled self–deprecatingly. It was her fault for trying to blend into their circle previously.

Stephen drove Melanie to the hospital before heading home to deal with some matters.

Albert had just woken up from his nap in the ward. Melanie was wiping his face gently. Then, she reminded the caretaker of a few things before leaving again.

Halfway back home, she received a call from Eugene.

He only said a few words, “Pick me up now.”

Frowning, Melanie pulled over at the roadside and called Eugene back.
