The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 680 1/2

Hugh’s words resounded through the air. In Eugene’s dark and brooding eyes, there was a chilling intensity. He looked at Hugh, his tightly clenched jaw indicating his deteriorating mood.

“Respecting personal boundaties is the most basic social etiquette for adults,” Hugh said simply.

Seeing Eugene’s expression darken further, Lee furrowed his brows and asked, “Melanie, who is he?” He signaled to Melanie with his eyes, clearly wanting her to stop Hugh from continuing

However, Melanie acted as if she had not seen anything. She simply reached out and tugged at Hugh’s clothes. “Let's go,” she whispered,

Hugh turned back to look at Eugene. “I'll walk you there. I’m a bit worried.” “What are you worried about?” Melanie asked. “About you and the child,” Hugh replied casually. Melanie did not respond but could not shake off the strange feeling.

Hugh insisted on escorting her and accompanied her to the conference hall. Upon arriving at the entrance, they encountered Eric. This would inevitably lead to another round of inquiries.

Before noon, news about Melanie’s boyfriend, who was still in his third year of college, had already spread among the group. Yvette was the first to comment, “Melanie, you’re something. Dating a college boy, you're truly a role model for us.”

Melanie had been asked about Hugh several times that morning and was feeling a headache coming on. “You can find plenty like him just by going to a university campus,” she replied.

Sitting next to her, Yvette continued animatedly, “You're right about that. My previous boyfriend was also a college boy, a genuine little puppy.”

As they spoke, Eric went to escort Fuller, who was inside. Today’s class was a joint sessio

Garner. Melanie looked at Fuller’s kind demeanor and frowned slightly.

He had switched off the laboratory's circuit breaker, but the revelation still puzzled her. However, she also knew that she could not ask him about it directly.

“What are you looking at?” Yvette nudged her arm. “Why are you staring at Mr. Fuller like that? Your eyes are practically popping out. Isn’t your boyfriend good-looking enough?”

Melanie turned to Yvette and asked, “Do you interact with Mr. Fuller a lot?” “Huh? Why do you ask?” Yvette replied.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Melanie’s eyes flickered as she explained, “He has been very helpful to me recently, and | want to find an opportunity to thank him. But when | asked Eric about him, he didn’t say anything.”

Yvette pondered for a moment. “There’s nothing much to say. Mr. Fuller may look fine, but we all know he’s living a more exhausting life than anyone else.

“His wife got into a car accident a few years ago and has been in the hospital ever since. He’s probably in a vegetative state.

“It's not a secret. Most people in Oskon know about it. | guess he probably doesn’t care about those things himself either, so you don’t need to worry,”

“How did his wife get into a car accident?” Melanie asked,

“Who knows? Mr. Fuller is also childless by choice. He’s just taking care of his vegetative wife now. Otherwise, why do you think Eric is the only one in his lab? He treats Eric like his own son.”

After Yvette left, Melanie replayed her words in her mind and focused on Fuller’s wife’s car accident. If it was true and Fuller was childless and solely focused on his career, then he had no reason to do anything to Eugene—especially since LeapCo had previously invested money in his lab.

Her thoughts continued into the afternoon. When Melanie and Yvette left the conference hall, they saw Hugh waiting with a cup of juice in his hand.
