The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 

Melanie’s laughter was gentle and dazzling like the sun under the warm streetlight. 

A glimpse of surprise flashed across Xander’s eyes. He gulped, making his Adam’s apple roll as he grunted in response. 

The handsome man was staring at the brightly smiling woman. It was a beautiful sight to behold. The streetlights enhanced the atmosphere between them, enveloping them with warmth. 

However, a woman’s sudden exclamation broke the silence. “Xander? When did you return?” 

Melanie and Xander were both startled. She looked at the direction of the voice and saw a young woman looking at them curiously. 

Xander stared at the woman for a while. “Why are you here?” 

Smiling, Yvonne said, “We have a family gathering here. I saw you but wasn’t sure if it was you. But it really is you!” 

Xander did not seem close to her. He nodded. “I have something to deal with here.” 

Then, he looked at Melanie. “I’ll walk you there.” 

“Hmm? Is she your girlfriend?” Yvonne seized Melanie and blurted out, “Why do you look so familiar?” 

Melanie disliked being observed like that. She said, “Maybe because I look ordinary.” 

Yvonne frowned, yet she continued to stare at Melanie’s face. “I’m sure I’ve met you before.” Just as she spoke, she heard a deep voice calling her name, “Miss Lowry.” 

Yvonne released her hold on Melanie and sounded cheerful upon turning around and seeing the man approaching them. “Mr. Scott, I bumped into my friend.” 

Melanie, who had her head lowered, lifted it upon hearing this. She saw Eugene standing before Yvonne, listening to her explanation. 

Eugene’s gaze happened to divert to Melanie when she looked at him. 

When their eyes met, Melanie looked away in a fluster. 

Then, she heard Eugene asking Yvonne, “Your friend?” 

“Yeah. Xander is my childhood friend. We used to live in the same neighborhood,” said Yvonne. 

Melanie never expected to encounter Xander’s friend and even Eugene. 

However, recalling what Yvonne had told them about the family dinner, she could guess Yvonne must be the blind date Stella had arranged for Eugene. 

Melanie whispered to Xarider, “I’ll head to the parking lot first.” 

She wanted to walk away after saying that. 

Unexpectedly, Eugene said, “Since he’s your friend, why don’t you invite him?”
