The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 171

Her lively personality and Simon’s company made it easy for her to blend in naturally. Melanie stood by the side for a while. With nothing to do, she decided to go behind a grill and put some of the prepared skewers on it.

Melanie hardly ate barbecue and rarely cooked, so she was not accurate with the cooking times. It was not until she smelled something burning that she realized she had overcooked the skewers.

Simon happened to come over to fetch something and caught a whiff of the smell, making him frown. “What’s that smell?”

Expression unchanging, Melanie scooped up the burnt food onto a plate to discard it when Simon took notice of it.

He chuckled exaggeratedly and mocked, “Melanie, are you that bad at cooking?”

Her hand that was holding the plate paused for a moment before she looked up at Simon. She did not say much to him, however.

Simon’s disdain intensified. He had not been able to get back at Melanie for her retort in the afternoon, so he naturally would not let this opportunity slip by.
