The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

“We shouldn’t have come here today Nothing here satisfies me,” Reny complained after coming back from the restroom, her expression bitter. “The food is bad enough, and even the person I dislike is NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

here.”

“Who’s the person you dislike?” Oliver asked.

“Of course, it’s Eu” She abruptly stopped and turned to look at Melanie.

Melanie was calm and unaffected.

Reny’s personality was similar to Yvonne’s. After they learned about what happened between Melanie and Eugene, they both developed strong opinions against Eugene.

Moreover, on the day they arrived in Prime City, Evelyn had even mocked Melanie. It made Reny dislike Eugene even more.

Seeing Melanie’s indifferent attitude, Reny complained softly, “Evelyn is such an arrogant and annoying person.”

Oliver retorted, “She didn’t even do anything to you. Why are you so unhappy?”

Reny narrowed her eyes and immediately started arguing with him.

Meanwhile, Melanie suddenly lost her appetite. It was because she had suddenly recalled Howard and Peyton embracing each other, and that image made her nauseous.

She lowered her head and got up, whispering, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Reny watched her, stammering, “Uh…” Before she could say anything more, Melanie had already left.

Oliver looked at her. “What’s with that response?”

“I just saw Eugene and Evelyn near the restroom. I wonder if they’ve left now.”

Melanie did not go to the restroom but turned to leave the restaurant as it was too crowded inside. She did not expect to see a familiar figure under the iconic tree adorned with red ribbons the moment she

stepped out.

Standing there, Egene’s profile was cold and stern, his eyes deep and mysterious. Under the tree adorned with red ribbons, he was an image of inexplicable loneliness.

The moment Melanie saw him, she turned around to go back inside. However, a group of people, likely parents who were taking their children out for an outing, were coming out right at that moment. Two little boys were jumping around happily with balloons in their hands.

To avoid bumping into them, Melanie had to step aside. However, one of the boys still accidentally bumped his balloon on her head.

Although she did not feel anything from the balloon, the boy stopped in his tracks and apologized,

11

Sorry, Miss.”

Melanie instinctively replied, “It’s okay.”

The boy walked away. Just as she was about to go back inside the restaurant, she heard a low voice calling out to her from behind, “Melanie.”

She paused and looked back at Eugene, who was standing under the tree, His expression was

indifferent.

Melanie did not move as they could still hear each other from their current distance,

“What is it?”

Eugene’s dark eyes flickered gently, and his Adam’s apple bobbed as if he had something to say,

Before he could say anything, another figure emerged from the restaurant’s entrance. Evelyn came out carrying a takeout box in her hand,

Upon seeing Melanie, something flickered across her eyes for a moment, but she quickly smiled. ” Melanie? What a coincidence to see you here.”

She went up to Eugene, lifting the takeout box in her hand and saying, “I’ve packed some snacks for my mom and Uncle. Let’s go.”

Eugene glanced at her. “You can go back yourself.”

“It won’t look good if I go back alone,” Evenlyn countered. She raised a brow and asked, “Have you forgotten the three things we agreed on?”
