Chapter 760
It had been a long time since Melanie and Eugene had anything to do with each
other. Allowing him to rest here was already generous of her. There was no need
for him to stay the night.
Melanie's attitude was firm. She turned to look at Eugene and was ready to
speak, only to meet his dark, misty eyes.
Perhaps because he had just woken up, Eugene's eyes looked gentler. They
shone more than usual, looking less oppressive.
Melanie gazed at him. “It's already late. You can leave now.”
Eugene lowered his gaze, looked at his phone, and murmured, “Mm.”
After seeing Eugene off, Melanie looked back at the dining table. It was neatly
organized, except for a USB flash drive in the corner.
The flash drive bore the logo of LeapCo, which likely contained something
important.
Melanie snapped a photo and sent it to Eugene. He responded the following day,
saying he would come to pick it up today.
Today, the atmosphere was lively. The neighborhood was filled with more
children than usual, along with people coming and going to celebrate the
occasion.
The living room window faced the road outside. Melanie sat in the living room by
the window, responding to various well wishes.
Aware of her situation, Stephen asked if she wanted to spend Christmas at his
house, but Melanie rejected.
Liana had already said she was taking Xander to their grandfather's house for
Christmas.
Yvette happily posted a video on Facebook showcasing her family’s Christmas
Eve.
Everyone seemed joyous. Melanie cleaned the photos of her grandparents and
bought groceries to make the food that they loved.
Although her culinary skills were average, she had plenty of time to experiment
and learn today. She spent the whole afternoon preparing four dishes.
As dusk fell, she saw the outside light up with countless lights. Melanie, holding a
spoon, froze.
The TV in the living room started its festive programs. Melanie stood in the
kitchen. Only a dim light illuminated the surroundings above her.
She looked at her spoon and pursed her lips slowly. Her hands could not stop
trembling.
Someone was singing Christmas carols outside, making the night scenery feel
more vibrant. Almost at the same time, a knock on the door interrupted Melanie's
thoughts.

Putting down the spoon, she went to answer the door. Eugene stood outside in
the cold.
“I've come to get the USB flash drive,” he said. His gaze passed over Melanie
and landed on the Christmas dinner on the table behind her. He entered the
room after he spoke.
