Chapter 519

Melanie was caught slightly by surprise by the old man’s directness. She only paused for a moment before she gently replied, “Eugene and I have both moved on.”

Henry could not help but sigh, the disappointment in his eyes evident. He said nothing else. When they were eating, he barely touched his cutlery at all because of how crestfallen he was.

Henry nodded. “Let him come. Sooner or later, he’ll have to come to see me.”
