The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

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.

Melanie did not know what to say. She could not act like nothing had happened. The weather was unpredictable during the change of seasons. Before they could finish their meal, it started raining outside.

Melanie was about to call a taxi to take Henry back home when he waved to Landon to arrange for a car to pick him up.

When Landon returned, he glanced at Melanie and quietly told Henry, “Eugene just called, asking if you’re outside. He said it’s raining and wants to come pick you up.”

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