The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 590

Chapter 590

Melanie quickly thought about how to pose the question and she asked carefully, “Do you know Matthew Smith very well?”

Eugene was taken aback. He looked straight at Melanie as his relaxed mannerism vanished. He continued staring at her. There was a vaguely somber look in his eyes.

He lowered his voice, “I’ve told you before that he isn’t someone that you should be in contact with.”

There was warning in his tone and Melanie’s tense mood immediately relaxed from the annoyance. She said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me anything.”

She took a step back to close the door.

“Melanie.” Eugene’s hand blocked at the door frame to stop Melanie from closing the door. He looked at her through the crack of the door and said coldly, “I wasn’t joking with you.”

All she did was look at his hand and say in a low voice, “Let go.’

“}

She raised her eyes to look at Eugene. The warm, yellow light in the corridor shone on Eugene’s face. It gave him a warm glow.

He looked down. His dark eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of soft light, which made him look gentle and kind.

Even his sharp, straight nose looked like it had a layer of thin gauze that softened his demeanor.

Melanie looked calmly at him. “Don’t tell me how to do things, Eugene. I don’t need any advice.”

She closed the door and walked back into the room. She had just sat down when Yvonne called her on the phone.

“Hey, Mel, has Hugh gotten in touch with you? How did it go? I made a pretty good arrangement for you, didn’t I? He’s six foot tall and has a muscled abdomen, he’s young and warm, and is the perfect boyfriend. Doesn’t he look good standing next to you? That old man, Eugene Scott, must be so jealous

…”

Yvonne kept chattering about this and it took Melanie some difficulty to finally cut in, “How did you know Hugh has a muscled abdomen? Have you seen it before?”

It made Yvonne choke on her drink when Melanie suddenly asked the question and she kept coughing.

Melanie pinched between her eyes. “Let him go home. I don’t need someone with such great credentials.”

“Why?” Yvonne did not understand this. “Aren’t you worried that Eugene Scott would find out about this? Hugh works great as a decoy. Don’t worry. Hugh might not be good at anything else, but he’s very loyal and supportive.”
