The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 226 The Moment Was Gone

It was a typical example of human nature. The second you want something from someone, his instinct would be to deprive you of it. However, when you decide that you no longer want it he world give you a truckload of it, and fill your world with it if he could.
