The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563 

Eugene sat in the dark with a bottle of wine before him, but he did not seem to have touched his glass. 

However, many cigarette buds were in the ashtray on the table. 

Eugene seldom drank or smoked. His friends knew that. 

Simon looked at the cigarette buds and clicked his tongue before saying, “Speak. I’ll listen.” 

Eugene glanced at him and said nothing. 

The cigarette between his fingers lit as the smoke rose. Then, he extinguished it. 

Since Eugene was not speaking, Simon did not ask further. He poured himself a glass of wine and muttered, “Well, since you refuse to talk, I’ll tell you something interesting. 

“Do you remember Jeremy Gordon in Liscit? His wife cheated on him and slept with a man in his 50s. The son Jeremy has been doting on is the old man’s.‘ 

Simon drank the wine and gossiped, “When Jeremy found out about it, he didn’t divorce his wife and even looked after the kid like his own until the paternity test results came out two days ago. It was embarrassing.” 

Then, Simon scoffed. “It’s no longer a matter about being cheated on. This has to do with a man’s dignity. It’s disgusting to let another man’s son call him ‘Dad‘ all this while.” 

“A man’s dignity?” Eugene spoke, and his gaze on Simon was cold. Simon could sense his bad mood even in the dark. 

“Yeah! No man will want to look after the kid of the man his wife cheated on him with.” 

Simon was pouring Eugene a glass of wine. He did not notice Eugene’s gloomy gaze when he was saying that. 

“By the way, Matthew is quick. There’s some news from Oskon City. The Qaisa family might have a new leader soon. You must prepare yourself if you want to cooperate with the Qaisa family…” 

Before he could finish, Eugene göt up. 

Simon was taken aback. “What’s wrong?” 

“I need to go.”

2/2 

The rain that night was long and heavy since it was autumn. 

Eugene stood by the window in the private room. 

He looked at the raindrops outside the window. The wind brought in the raindrops, which made his shoulders wet. 

Eugene had taken the cigarette box when he left. Casually, he lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers. 

He disliked the smell of cigarettes, but the nicotine in them was indeed calming. 

Taking out his phone and flipping to the call log, he could see Melanie’s call that had been cut off on the top. 

His gaze turned gloomy as an indescribable emotion gushed through him. 

In the end, he put down the phone and let the cigarette burn between his fingers.
