The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 667

He was looking at Howard as he spoke, and the words left Howard at a loss for how to respond.

Still looking at the man, Eugene added in a cold and indifferent tone, “Mr. Smith, you’ve indeed not been very responsible. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have failed to visit your daughter even when she was hospitalized.”

Howard was momentarily stunned by the words, but he quickly pulled himself together and put on a surprised and distressed expression.

He asked Melanie, “What? Mel, you were hospitalized? I called you several times and sent you many messages, but you didn’t respond at all.”

He got to his feet as he said that and continued, “How are you feeling now? Do you need to go back and get checked again?”

A sardonic, mocking smile appeared at the corner of Eugene’s mouth as he said, “If you had been a bit rougher that day, I guess you could’ve gone to the hospital and expressed your fatherly love.”

Eugene was sarcastic by nature and did not hold back in ridiculing Howard. Since Howard did not mention his actions toward Melanie, he did not mind bringing it up himself.

Howard’s face soured, but he said nothing. The person who had spoken earlier piped up, “What do you mean by that? Howard didn’t lay a hand on her at all. Have you no idea why he’s so angry?”

Gaston seemed even more agitated than Howard right now. Eugene’s eyes narrowed as he looked at him expressionlessly. He was about to say something when he felt a slight movement beside him.

Melanie placed her hands on the table, her fingers fumbling slightly. She then slowly looked at Howard. She sighed almost imperceptibly as if she had a headache.

“We haven’t seen each other in ten years ever since you divorced Mom. You didn’t try keeping contact at all. You just disappeared,” she said finally.

“You said you did it for my own good, but I’m not a child anymore. I think we’re fine just being like

how we were during those ten years.‘
