The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

A teardrop fell onto her grandfather’s hand. The old man seemed to sense it and looked at Melanie, making an effort to say, “M— Mel...”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He wanted to reach up to wipe away Melanie’s tears but could not lift his hand. In the end, he could only repeatedly utter Melanie’s name.

Melanie knew she had lost control of her emotions, but right now, she truly could not hold back the surging bitterness in her heart. She was exhausted and felt like letting go, but she had no choice.

She could only endure and push through with all her might.

She felt her grandfather pull down her fingers and slowly write something in her palm. ‘I'm sorry.

Every time her grandfather called her Mel, he wrote another apology in her palm.

Later on, when the caregiver reminded Melanie that her grandfather should not get agitated, she gradually stabilized her emotions. However, her grandfather still held onto her hand.

After calming her grandfather, she left the hospital. It was evening, and Eugene’s call came in. Melanie hesitated for a moment before answering, only to hear his indifferent voice say, “GT. Come by yourself.”

He hung up without caring to hear Melanie’s response. Staring at the dark screen of her phone for a while, Melanie drove to GT. She was numb and devoid of much emotion.

GT was owned by a playboy within the circle. The first floor featured a lively lobby, booths, a bar, and a vibrant dance floor. On the second floor were several private rooms specifically designated for the wealthy young heirs and heiresses.

The room where Eugene and his friends often gathered was dimly lit. When Melanie pushed the door open, someone inside was just popping open a champagne bottle. Foam spilled from the bottle, and a few droplets happened to land on Melanie's face.

The lights in the private room were dim, making it difficult for her to see where Eugene was. Just when she was about to step back and call him, the entire room suddenly lit up, causing Melanie to squint her eyes instinctively.

Simon’s casual and playful voice echoed. “Hey, Melanie?” When she opened her eyes, she saw Simon sitting on a high stool next to her, his eyes playfully assessing her.

“| thought you had a backbone. Why did you rush over with just one call from Eugene?” he sneered. “You're so obedient. Does Xander know?”

Simon had been with Eugene when he called Melanie, so he knew it was Eugene who asked her to come. However, he still harbored resentment from the last time Melanie embarrassed him, so he deliberately taunted her.

Melanie was not in the mood to deal with Simon. She focused her gaze on Eugene, who was

sitting in the corner staring at his phone expressionlessly. Even Simon’s words did not manage to grab his attention as he did not even lift his head.

Melanie did not know what Eugene was occupied with. She lowered her gaze and walked slowly toward him. When he heard the footsteps, he finally looked up.

He glanced at Melanie and asked in a low voice, “Not happy to be here?”

(

There was indeed no expression on Melanie’s face. She had just come from the hospital and was still worrying about her grandfather. There was hardly any room for other emotions. Why did you call me here?” she asked.

Eugene paused for a moment, his emotionless gaze fixed on Melanie. He casually asked, ” What do you think?”

Melanie understood. Eugene was waiting for her to express her sincerity. After all, she was the one seeking his help for her grandfather’s sake. He had also made it clear that he needed to be satisfied. She could only speculate how she could satisfy him.
