The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 826

Yvonne shot Simon a glare before turning around and walking away. The yard was not very big, and with over a dozen people squeezed in there, it felt somewhat crowded.

After Simon followed Yvonne away, Melanie suddenly realized that Eugene was sitting over there. However, due to her obstructed line of sight and the small flower bed in between, she was not able to

see him clearly.

The barbecue was lively, and the atmosphere was somewhat festive. Despite not being a big fan of barbecue, Melanie ended up eating quite a bit thanks to Yvonne’s offerings. Yvonne handed her another skewer, but Melanie refused, saying, “No, I can’t eat anymore.”

“This one’s for Xander. This skewer got a bit burnt,” Yvonne said, enjoying the feeling of being the barbecue master. She was gradually taking over the role.

With a skewer of pork belly in her hand, Melanie went to look for Xander. The place was not very big, and most people were crowded together. Xander was standing next to the flower bed, chatting with Oliver. Melanie approached him with the skewer.
