The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 769
Melanie had not had further contact with Howard ever since returning to Jepton.
He appeared pretty much the same as before, still gentlemanly and refined in
appearance.
Standing a few steps away, Melanie watched him with his arm around Peyton's
waist. Melanie's face was devoid of any expression. The intimacy of the two's
gestures was enough to confirm their relationship.
Perhaps her gaze had been too intense as Howard subconsciously looked over.
When he saw Melanie, his expression changed. Sensing his unease, Peyton also
looked up.
Upon recognizing Melanie, Peyton's expression turned slightly cold. “Melanie?
What are you doing here?”
Melanie glanced at her. She was about to say something when she heard
Howard's gentle voice.” Peyton, can you go inside and wait for me? I need to
take care of something first.”
Peyton's gaze shifted between Howard and Melanie. She then let out a snort.
“Howard, is this the daughter you told me about? The one you had with your ex—
wife?”
Her eyes and tone were filled with scrutiny as if she were standing on a pedestal.
Melanie calmly observed the panic in Howard's eyes, her lips curling in derision
as she turned to leave. Whatever was going on between Howard and Peyton
was his own business, not hers.
However, before she reached the elevator, she heard footsteps behind her. It was
followed by Howard's urgent voice. “Melanie, wait!”
Melanie paused, and Howard came up from behind her, pulling her aside. She
stumbled slightly but steadied herself. She looked toward the hotel entrance.
Peyton was no longer there.
She was not bothered to think about whether Howard had managed to placate
her or not. Melanie only lowered her gaze mockingly.
“Why are you in Prime City? Weren't you in Jepton?” Howard asked. His tone
was unpleasant as well
as impatient.
Melanie looked up coldly and replied, “Do I need to report all my whereabouts to
you?”
“You!” A dark look flashed across Howard's face. His gaze was fixed on Melanie
for a while before he softened his attitude and said, “I have important matters to
attend to in Prime City. I'm not asking anything from you. Just don’t drag my
affairs.
Melanie looked at Howard indifferently. The worry on his face was completely
unhidden, and it was obvious that it was for no other reason than the fact that he
had not expected to bump into Melanie. He thought Melanie would ruin things
between him and Peyton.
Melanie withdrew her gaze and said emotionlessly, “Your so—called important
matters involve being with Peyton? Well, rest assured, I'm not in the mood, and
neither do I have the time to interfere with

you two.”
Her words were somewhat harsh, and Howard's expression darkened. “Do you
know her?”
“No, I don't.”

Melanie's good mood for the day vanished instantly when she saw Howard and
Peyton. She went straight back to her room to rest. The moment she got upstairs,
however, she saw Reny looking for
her.

Melanie had been to the ancient city before. She even bought Stephen a wood
carving from here as a gift.
Reny led the way with a phone in hand as she looked for a viral newly—opened
eatery. It was a place that specialized in rustic cuisine.
