The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 499
Eugene was obviously implying something. Melanie pursed her lips and said nothing.
She did remember that Henry liked irises. Rather, Eugene’s grandmother liked irises.
Henry’s garden had a large field of irises. Eugene and Melanie had even helped him plant some
of them.
That was why Melanie had agreed when Yvonne recommended this dress.
However, Eugene was wrong about one thing.
She looked up at Eugene calmly. “If you care so much about it, you can take the jewelry back from me in your grandfather’s
place.”
Eugene’s deep eyes flashed with unbridled emotion for just a second before he said indifferently, “I missed the part where that’s
my problem.”
After that, he walked into the hall.
When Eugene arrived, Henry’s brows finally relaxed a little. He paused when he saw the iris brooch on Eugene’s chest and
smiled with a hint of warmth. “If only Winnie was still around. She always loved you the most.”
Eugene listened with his head bowed, saying nothing.

When Melanie came in, the banquet was about to begin. Henry sat at the head of the table and waved at her. “Mel, sit over
here.”
Melanie looked. Stella and Cedric were sitting on Henry’s right, while Eugene was on his left. There was an empty seat next to
Eugene.
It would be a bad place for her to sit.
After a moment of silence, she looked at Stephen and said, “I’ll just sit here.”
Henry frowned. “Won’t you even share a meal with me?”
Melanie paused and was about to speak when Eugene’s phone suddenly rang.
His face was expressionless as he picked up the phone. A moment later, he got up to leave.
Henry looked at him and barked, “Where do you think you’re going?”
Eugene stopped for just a second. “I have to take care of something.”
Henry was clearly cross and was about to continue berating him, but Eugene had already left the hall.
Holding back his anger, Henry looked at Melanie. “That bastard has already gone out. Mel, come and sit with me.”
Melanie could tell that Henry was really angry now. She did not want Henry to ruin his birthday, so she reluctantly sat down
beside him.
Henry’s


softened, and he sighed, “You’re really the most sensible one here.‘
Melanie softened her tone and said a few kind words. It took her some effort to cheer Henry up
again, but then Eugene returned with Viola in tow.

Strangely, Viola’s little pink dress looked dirty. She held a gift bag in her hands as she followed Eugene, and her gaze went
straight to Melanie.
Shock flashed across her face for a moment before she quickly lowered her gaze to hide her emotions. However, she tightened
her grip on the gift bag.
She had not known that today was Henry Scott’s birthday. Eugene did not even mention it to
her.
Mason was the one who had inadvertently mentioned it.
He had said that men liked women who took care of their family members. Besides, Henry might change his opinion of her if she
was considerate enough to drop by.
As a result, she had rushed here and even tripped along her way. She thought that Eugene and Henry would appreciate her
sincerity after that, but she never expected to see Melanie here.
