The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 245 You Look Cute Together

“Ms. Maia” Penelope looked at her and went down on her knees. Mala was shocked and moved to help her up.

“What do you think you’re doing? Get up now.”

Penelope shook her head and said, “I’ll always be grateful to you for giving me a job and a safe place to stay, but I have to beg you for a favor.

“Please. Please tear Victor down and make sure he can’t come back from it! I know I’m powerless and this is all I can do, but you have what it takes to make it happen. Ms. Maia!”

Maia helped her up. She had not expected Penelope to be this passionate. “I give you my word. I’ll make sure he can’t come back from this. Everyone will despise him. He’ll pay dearly for everything he’s done!”

Penelope wiped tears from her face and nodded repeatedly.

The battered door swung open as Buck came in. “The food is here, Ms. Maia.”

Penelope opened the door swiftly. Buck was standing outside with bagels and pizzas in his hands, smiling. Maia shouted, “Jasmine. Your bagels are here.”

Jasmine was playing with the doll earlier, but she dashed out of the room the moment she heard what Maia said. “Bagels. Yummy bagels!”

Buck smiled as he put the bagels on the table.

“Can I have the bagels, mister?” Jasmine asked politely and pointed to the table, “You bought it for me. Right?” He nodded and smiled, “Of course, you can. I bought them for you.

“Thank you, mister!” Jasmine said again. Then, she gave one of the bagels to Penelope, “Here. You can have one, Mom. Let’s eat together!”

Penelope looked at the bagel her daughter had just given her. Tears began to flow again. Jasmine was a little worried.

“Why are you crying, Mom? I behaved. I asked this mister and he said he bought the bagels for me. I thanked him for it too. Hurry up and eat, Mom. You don’t have to eat my leftovers again.”

Jasmine was such a thoughtful kid.
