The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 769

Melanie had not had further contact with Howard ever since returning to Jepton. He appeared pretty much the same as before, still gentlemanly and refined in appearance.

Standing a few steps away, Melanie watched him with his arm around Peyton’s waist. Melanie’s face was devoid of any expression. The intimacy of the two’s gestures was enough to confirm their relationship.

Perhaps her gaze had been too intense as Howard subconsciously looked over. When he saw Melanie, his expression changed. Sensing his unease, Peyton also looked up.

Peyton’s gaze shifted between Howard and Melanie. She then let out a snort. “Howard, is this the daughter you told me about? The one you had with your ex–wife?”

Her eyes and tone were filled with scrutiny as if she were standing on a pedestal.

Melanie calmly observed the panic in Howard’s eyes, her lips curling in derision as she turned to leave. Whatever was going on between Howard and Peyton was his own business, not hers.
