The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

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.

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