Chapter 486
Carla knew there was no way this dinner could continue, so she got up.
Stella was angered by Melanie and had already lost her appetite. Grabbing her bag, she left the
restaurant.
Melanie took out her phone to send a message to Xander and the others to inform them that she would not be home tonight.
That was when she heard Carla ask, “How are you planning to go home when the rain is so heavy, Miss Smith?”
Carla had not done anything to anger her, after all. Melanie replied, “I’ll just book a room in a nearby hotel.”
There was a hesitant look on Carla’s face. “The nearest hotel would take you ten minutes. It won’t be easy to get a taxi when it’s raining so heavily.”
“I’ll leave after it slows down.”
Melanie did not mind.
An arrogant and conceited voice was heard above her head. Eugene asked sarcastically, ” Xander Solomon isn’t willing to pick you up during a heavy rain?”
Melanie replied with indifference, “What does this have to do with you, Mr. Scott?”
A dark look appeared in Eugene’s eyes. His gaze looked even darker than the sky outside. Don’t be stupid, Melanie Smith.
Melanie looked up. Did Eugene just tell her not to be stupid?
Hah!
She lowered her eyes, and there was impatience and annoyance in her tone. “You’re too conceited, Eugene Scott.”
He was always pointing out her faults from a higher place. He belittled her and ignored her. If she was stupid, the most stupid thing she had ever done was be with Eugene wholeheartedly. While they were crossing swords verbally, the ringing of Eugene’s phone interrupted them. He looked at his phone and frowned when he saw who the caller was.
Henry was heard saying unhappily, “There’s a thunderstorm today. I remember Mel suffers from night blindness. I wonder if she’s out of her house. Can you be more attentive and give her a call to find out where she is?”
Eugene frowned. “You don’t need to worry about my affairs.”
“How can I not worry? If I don’t worry, you’ll bring home that brainless woman. I’m warning you, Eugene. If you don’t want to end up like your father, you’d better treat Mel better!”
Henry’s voice was quite loud. Even Carla and Melanie could hear him vaguely.
Melanie slowly clenched her hand.
She and Henry had only spent two short years together and he still remembered that she had
night blindness.
Eugene looked down, and his gaze fell on her tightly clenched fist.
He tried to suppress the sarcasm in his voice as he replied unhappily to Henry, “Treat her better? Do you think she’ll be grateful to you if I did that?”
Eugene hung up after that. His gaze remained on Melanie. There was a chilling, look in his dark eyes that he did not bother to hide.
After a while, a look of impatience flashed across his face. “Didn’t you hear what the old man said?”
Melanie did not show much reaction. “Hear what?”
