Chapter 628
He approached Melanie while holding his belly, reaching out as if to touch her. He looked up and was met with Eugene’s cold
gaze. Startled, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Only then did Melanie turn to look at Eugenie.
He stood behind her, holding her securely in his embrace. He was dressed in a suit and wore a long trench coat over it. His hair
fell naturally over his eyebrows, probably to conceal the scar on his forehead.
Yvette subtly tugged at the hem of Melanie’s clothes and winked at her.
Yvette was lively by nature but also adept at reading the room. She noted that Melanie’s expression was not good when she left
with Howard earlier.
Thus, she discreetly took a photo of the two of them and sent it to Eugene, hoping to get closer to him. She did not expect
Eugene to arrive so soon.
Observing the atmosphere in the room, she cleared her throat and grabbed Melanie’s arm. “You’re pregnant, but you’re being so
reckless. What if you bump into something? What will you do then?”
“What? Pregnant?” Howard overheard her words and stared at Melanie incredulously, “You’re pregnant?!” He took a couple of
steps forward as if to verify with Melanie. Eugene immediately reached out and pulled Melanie behind him.
Melanie looked up as she did not want to look at Howard. She unexpectedly met Eugene’s gaze head- on. He shielded her
behind him, and his voice was low as he growled. “Didn’t you hear? She has to be careful not to bump into anything.”
Howard glared at Melanie. “I’m asking you, what’s going on? Melanie, why didn’t you tell me about your pregnancy?!”
He pointed at Eugene, his eyes wide with fury. “Is it his? I’m asking you, is it his?!”
“What does it matter whose it is?” Melanie suppressed her emotions as she stepped out from behind Eugene.
Her voice turned cold as she countered, “Since you disappeared for over a decade, what right do you have to assume the role of
my father? What exactly gives you that right, Howard?”
However, Howard did not seem to hear her question. He continued glaring at her intensely before shifting his gaze to Eugene,
who was standing beside her. His tone was filled with anger and
bitterness.
“Melanie, you’ve disappointed me greatly! A child outside of marriage is such a disgraceful thing. How could you do this-”
A faint scoff came from above her, and Melanie looked up to see Eugene shaking his head slightly. Seeing Howard’s furious and
volatile demeanor, she could not bear to stay any longer. She feared she

might vomit.
Pulling on Eugene’s coat, she turned around and left without a word.

Yvette dared not say anything either, she glanced in the direction of the private room and murmured, “Well, Mr. Scott, I won’t
disturb you anymore. Take good care of Mel,
“Oh, and by the way, pay more attention to her health, Pregnant women shouldn’t get too agitated, It’s very dangerous.”
With that, she left. However, after walking a distance away, she took out her phone, opened her chat, and clicked on her
conversation with Nicole.
After hesitating for a moment, she sent the photo she had taken sneakily with a message attached: [ Doesn’t this man look a lot
like Matthew? And doesn’t he resemble Melanie too?)
