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.

Maia.”

Maia cocked her head as she looked at Hope. “What do you mean?”

“I see that I shouldn’t try to talk you out of it. It’s also clear that you aren’t who you used to be. A love that has been betrayed can never be put back together. So, do you think I should give Buck a call?”

Hope tried hard to divert the topic. She didn’t want Maia to lose herself in her rage over the tragic past.
