The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 765

“Evelyn’s voice carried a mocking tone that was hard to hide as she boldly looked at Melanie. She scoffed. “It’d better not be Eugene’s. We’re about to get engaged, and having a child pop up at this point would be quite troublesome.”

Melanie stood silently. Her hand that was holding her phone tightened as she straightened her back. She watched as Evelyn approached.

Despite being naturally tall, Melanie was slightly overshadowed by Evelyn’s height, especially with her heels on. Evelyn exuded an inherent air of elegance and refinement. Her gaze was fixed on Melanie as she raised an eyebrow slightly.

“You know, in families like ours, I can tolerate him having affairs with other women. But I absolutely can’t tolerate the appearance of a child.”

Evelyn paused and glanced at Melanie’s belly before calmly retracting her gaze. She lifted her wine glass and left the balcony.

The distant Christmas lights continued illuminating the night sky, and Melanie felt a chill running down her spine as she stood alone on the balcony.

She understood Evelyn’s warning. Her gaze fell to her flat stomach. It was miraculous that there was indeed a little life growing inside her.

Her phone vibrated. A message from Yvonne and Reny popped up in the group chat. Melanie glanced at it and then left the balcony.
