The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 

When Melanie returned, she heard what Eugene said and hesitated for a moment at the door before pushing it open forcefully 

Seeing that she had returned, Henry handed the menu to her again, “Mel, take a look at what you’d like to eat.” 

Melanie did not refuse and ordered two simple dishes. However, she did not have much of an appetite to eat. 

Henry, on the other hand, was in a good mood and ate quite a bit. It was only later that Melanie stopped him from eating more as she was concerned for his digestion. 

Seeing that Melanie had hardly touched her food, Henry asked worriedly, “Mel, is the food not to your liking? It’s my fault. I ordered based on my taste.” 

“It’s not that. I’ve been thinking about managing my figure recently. The food is delicious.” 

Henry’s expression stiffened with displeasure. “You’re already so thin and you still want to manage your figure? You won’t look good. Young ladies should eat more and stay healthy.” 

Under his supervision, Melanie reluctantly drank half a bowl of chowder. 

After finishing their meal, Henry felt sleepy and wanted to go back to rest. Reluctant to part with Melanie, he said, “Mel, I won’t be leaving Jepton now that I’m here. If you have time, come and visit me more. I like your personality, unlike Eugene’s personality. He just makes me 

angry. 

Melanie allowed him to hold her hand and whispered, “I will, Mr. Henry.” 

Henry signaled to the caregiver, who approached with a bag containing the jewelry. “Miss Smith, this is a gift from the old gentleman. He went all the way to Androst to pick it up. be very disappointed if you refuse it. 

With things reaching this point, Melanie found it difficult to insist on rejecting the gift no matter how reluctant she was. 

He’ll 

She could only accept the gift hesitatingly. She started coming up with a plan to return the gift to Henry at a later date. 

Seeing that she had accepted his gift, Henry came up to them with a cane in hand. 

With a serious expression, he reminded Eugene, “Eugene, you brought Mel here, so you’re responsible for taking her back home.” 

Eugene was looking at his phone and responded to the old man with a simple hum. 

Henry frowned, his temper rising. “Did you not hear what I said?” 

Eugene put away his phone, his expression indifferent. He was about to say something when Melanie said, “You should go back now. It’s about to get even hotter now.” 

It was obvious what Henry was trying to do. He was trying to bring Eugene and her together. 

Henry left, and Melanie’s smile disappeared as she looked at Eugene. She said, “I’ll take a taxi back.” 

Eugene had rolled up his shirt sleeves before they ate. Looking at the jewelry in Melanie’s hands, he commented sarcastically, “Can’t wait to show the gift off?” 

Melanie paused. “If you mind it so much, why didn’t you stop him earlier?”
