The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 574

particularly gentle, 

“You also seem to be keeping well,” Melanie returned, 

Carla smiled but said nothing. Her gaze inadvertently swept over Melanie’s belly and she casually asked, “Are you still experiencing, discomfort recently?” 

Melanie paused for a bit before replying, “It’s okay.” 

“If the father of the child knew how hard it is for you during this pregnancy, he would probably feel very distressed,” Carla sighed. Melanie could not discern her intention for saying that. 

Finding an excuse, Melanie quickly left with the signed contract. 

Melanie was not too eager to say too much to Carla. While she thought Carla was gentle, she was still a person with depth and was unpredictable. 

When Melanie came back from the company, Xander was still there with a book in his hands, making annotations while reading. 

Upon closer inspection, Melanie realized it was the professional theory book she had left on the table. On the pages were her notes and questions, she initially intended to ask Xander about them when he had time. However, Zander was now looking through the book and meticulously writing answers next to each of her annotations. 

His writing was clear and free, just like him. The elegant script complemented Melanie’s own delicate one, creating an aesthetically pleasing sight. 

After jotting down the last word, Xander looked up at Melanie. “You’re back.” With his head raised, there seemed to be a glint of light in his dark pupils. 

Xander closed the book and explained, “I just saw the markings in your book and wrote down some of my interpretations. I’ll be busy these days so I’m afraid I won’t have time to explain it to you.” 

He handed the book to her and Melanie whispered, “Thank you.” 

“You’re the only one going to Oskon this time. Is that okay?” %ander asked.

Melanie held the book to her and replied, “I will do my best.” 

Xander smiled and raised his hand to tidy up the wisps of Melanie’s hair that had been tousled by the wind. “No need to be nervous, you’re already excellent,” he said calmly. 

The citrusy scent on Xander’s body rushed toward Melanie when he lifted his hand. It was reminiscent of the fragrance of the candy he gave her. Melanie blinked as she became hesitant. 

She had to turn her head to avoid breathing in the scent of Xander’s body. However, she had just consumed a lemon–flavored candy in the car while she was on the way back, so the taste lingered in her mouth. Melanie could not help her throat bobbing as she gulped. 

The summit in Oskon was scheduled for next week, and Melanie needed to go early to prepare materials. So, she made a flight reservation for Sunday afternoon. 

Yvonne accompanied her to the airport, muttering all the way, “Xander said you’ll be away for at least a week. What am I going to do? I was planning to have you accompany me somewhere on Wednesday.” 

“Where to?”
