The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 490

She pretended not to hear him.

It was midnight by the time they arrived at Henry’s place.

He had not gone to sleep and was reading a book on the sofa with a pair of glasses on his nose. Henry put down his book when he saw Melanie and Eugene. Coughing, he asked, “Why did you come over so late? Landon, where’s that ginger tea I told you to prepare? Get Melanie a cup.” Melanie did not think about anything else. She had come in from the cold outside, and she did not dare get close to Henry just in case she had caught a nasty bug from getting rained on just now. She asked, “Why are you suddenly feeling sick?”

“I’m old and useless now. I still haven’t gotten used to the food and atmosphere here, and there was a sudden change in season.”

Henry waved off her concern and said nothing more.

He glanced at Eugene, who had gone off to take a phone call the moment he arrived. He asked Melanie in a low voice, “That rascal picked you up, right?”

Melanie nodded and followed Henry’s gaze. She glanced at Eugene.

Eugene had held an umbrella over her while they were coming in, so Melanie was not really wet from the rain. It was only now that she realized that half of Eugene’s shoulder was wet.
