Chapter 116
Eugene remained calm and composed, holding her wrist firmly as he made his way forward with large strides. The intimate contact discomfited Melanie, who struggled against it.
“I thought you were pretending to be blind just now with how slow you were. What’s with the pretense now?” Eugene sneered above her head.
Melanie’s breath hitched as she whispered, “I have night blindness. I can’t see clearly. I wasn’t pretending.”
Eugene’s steps faltered for a moment before he chuckled lightly and commented, “That’s a pretty good excuse.”
Melanie said nothing else and let Eugene drag her to the entrance of the villa. When they finally reached a well–lit area, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Eugene lowered his gaze to adjust his sleeve. He then looked up at Melanie nonchalantly before entering.
Simon and Kellen were already sitting in the living room playing cards. When they saw Eugene and Melanie, they greeted them and said, “Eugene, come join us.”
Melanie glanced over and saw the group playing cards. Kellen had a woman sitting on his lap. Her makeup was thick on her face as she held his cards for him and responded to his words with a charming smile.
The others at the table were in similar situations. It was a typical scenario of the scions enjoying their leisure.
Melanie observed it all with an expressionless face and sat down next to Eugene.
Spirited, Simon immediately urged Eugene to join their card game as soon as he sat down.
Eugene lifted an eyebrow and looked at Melanie, saying, “You play.”
Melanie was taken aback. Eugene just calmly released her wrist, saying, “My hand hurts. I don’t feel like playing.”
Eugene’s hands were slender and well–proportioned. His skin was pale, and the joints were obvious. As Melanie looked at his hands, she inexplicably felt that Eugene was hinting at how he had brought her here just now.
Her gaze flickered. She heard Simon discontentedly saying, “Eugene, are you brushing me off right now?”
