The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 779 Evelyn's face was still pale from the earlier fright, but she
maintained her composure and rationality as she looked directly at Eugene. She
said, “If that's the case, then I'll give you both my blessings.” After saying that,
she let go of Stella’s hand. There was a faintly lonely smile on her face. “Madam
Stella, I'll head back first. I think it was an earthquake just now. Please take
care.” Everything happened so suddenly and swiftly that Stella did not even have
the time to react before Evelyn left. while, Melanie lowered her gaze to Eugene's
hand around her waist. Pursing her lips slightly, she pushed him away. Eugene's
expression turned somewhat grim. His already dark and deep eyes seemed like
an abyss that could swallow her whole. As Evelyn walked away, her smile faded,
replaced by a cold indifference. Having grown up in Prime City, such minor
earthquakes did not scare her. She had seen everything clearly when the squirrel
lunged at Melanie—Eugene’s emotions, his swift actions, and his instinctive
gesture to protect Melanie's stomach. Evelyn studied psychology. Combined with
the information she had gathered from her friend, she a child that was not
allowed to be was almost certain that Melanie's child belonged to Eugene. It was
thered from her friend, she born. Families like theirs could indulge in all sorts of
affairs, but they could not afford to be careless with a child. However, it was up to
the Scott family how they were going to deal with the situation. With this thought
in mind, Evelyn felt a sense of relief. She took out her phone and sent a message
to Peyton. Since an earthquake had occurred, they could not stay here any
longer and could only return to the inn using the way they came from.
Fortunately, the earthquake was not a particularly strong one. 1 However, for
people like Melanie, who rarely experienced earthquakes, it was quite
frightening. It was a sudden earthquake, so there were concerns about
aftershocks. Due to this, no one dared to descend the mountain rashly. They
could only temporarily stay at the inn and return to Jepton the next day. Reny sat
beside Melanie and suddenly remembered something. She looked at Melanie's
belly, asking, “Does your stomach feel alright? You were startled just now. My
mom said pregnant women can’t get shocked.” it was Melanie shook her head.
She felt fine overall. If there was a moment when she was truly scared, only
when the squirrel suddenly lunged at her during the earthquake. Eugene had
shielded her then. Thinking of Eugene, Melanie pursed her lips slightly. She
lowered her gaze as she tried not to dwell Chapter 720 on it too much. 212 Dimer
was served as usual in the lobby. Xander came to call Melanie for dinner.
Melanie was resting In her room after returning from the hot springs when
Xander arrived. She had just woken up. The moment she stepped out of her
room, she bumped into Stella, who was dragging a suitcase along while talking to
Evelyn beside her. Although Evelyn remained polite, her attitude seemed colder
than before. When she saw Melanie, she even smiled at her. However, Melanie
did not feel much from Evelyn’s sunile. On the contrary, she even frowned
slightly. Perhaps it was because of the hint of disdain in Evelyn's expression
despite her smile. It was not until Evelyn walked out of the inn and saw Eugene
and Cedric waiting outside that she spoke up, “Mr. Cedric, Madam Stella,
Eugene, I haven't seen my friends for a long time. They'll be coming to pick me
up shortly, so I won't be going back with you.” Before leaving, she gave Eugene a
meaningful glance and added after a bit of hesitation, “Eugene, goodbye.”
