The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 569

Chapter 569 

It was almost noon now and the autumn sun felt comfortable. Despite her discomfort, Melanie asked Eugene back, “What are you suspecting? 

“Did Viola tell you that I arranged to meet Mason to get revenge against LeapCo? ” she sneered disdainfully. “How foolish. Of course, you’re not to be outdone either.” Without waiting for a response, she ended the call and tossed it into her bag. 

Due to hormonal and endocrine changes now that she was pregnant, Melanie was not feeling well and her mood was not great. She could usually muster up enough energy to suppress her emotions when it came to work. However, as soon as she heard what Eugene said, she could not help but want to vent her frustration. She could not control her irritability. 

When Melanie returned to the villa, it was lunchtime. Since there was no one in the villa, she prepared something simple for herself and then went to work. 

There was only one step left to finalize the contract with Carla. Melanie hoped to complete the contract review this afternoon. She got busy and forgot the time. It was only when everything was done that she realized it was almost dark. 

As she stood up, the door of the study opened. Xander was there holding a cup of water. “Are you done? Let’s have dinner.” 

He handed the cup to Melanie, saying, “It’s raining again, have some hot water first.” 

Melanie accepted the cup and took a sip, feeling the warm stream flowing down her throat. She felt much better after that and went out with Xander, the cup still in hand. 

She heard Xander asking her, “Did you go to the hospital with Yvonne this morning?” 

“Yeah, Liana asked us to deliver some things, Melanie replied, then realized, How did you know?” 

“She called me in the afternoon,” Xander said, looking at Melanie with a meaningful look. 

When he received the call from Liana that afternoon and then got immediately interrogated about Melanie’s pregnancy, he instinctively wanted to cover it up, thinking that Liana would not be able to accept it. Little did he know, Liana would instead scold him first.

“Do you even know how to take care of a pregnant woman? Look at Mel, she’s so thin. If I didn’t know better, I would think you’re withholding her salary!” 

“Also, I told you not to fuss over me. Does it matter if she’s pregnant? It’s a buy one, get one free deal! If you dare to let my potential sister–in–law slip away, I’ll make sure you regret it.”
