The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 626

Howard’s lips curled into a gentle smile as he said warmly, “Mel, why didn’t you tell me you were here to eat? This is the restaurant I was talking about the last time. The food here is excellent.”

Melanie looked at his eyes behind the lenses, which were not warm and tender at all but rather shrewd. She remained silent momentarily before saying, “I just came to have dinner with my colleague.”

“Well, that’s perfect,” Howard said with a smile while looking at Yvette. “Allow me to treat you and your colleague to dinner. Let me thank her for taking care of you.”

He stopped and sighed helplessly. “Mel, are you unwilling to give me another chance?” he said.

Judging from his demeanor, Melanie surmised it would be difficult to make him leave if she did not agree to his request. She did not want to get into any fights with him here. She took a deep breath, turned to Yvette, and said, “Sorry, I have something to attend to. I need to go.”
