The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 597

Chapter 597 

Xander murmured the last part under his breath, and Melanie did not quite catch him. 

She asked Xander, “What did you just ask me to promise you?” 

Xander stood on the balcony of the villa and looked downstairs. Oliver, Reny, and the others were having a barbeque in the backyard. He paused for a moment and said, “The temperature in Oskon City has been dropping drastically recently. Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.” 

“Oh, okay.”

Xander continued, “Do you think LeapCo and Burning Star would work well together?” 

“My analysis says we’d be great partners for the tender. We’d save plenty of time and manpower. Besides, LeapCo is our best option in Jepton.” 

Xander listened to her careful analysis until she was done. “Do you want to try and win the tender?” 

Melanie said, almost without thinking, “Of course.” 

She was never the type to admit defeat. She loved nothing more than a good challenge. 

When she replied without hesitation like that, she had no idea how dazzling her confidence was in Xander’s eyes. He smiled and said, “Then let’s do it. If you need anything, just call me.” 

“Got it.” Melanie chatted with Xander for a while longer before ending the call. She then turned on her computer again and checked the newly amended rules, comparing them with the forms she had prepared earlier. 

After Xander hung up, he turned around and saw Yvonne standing at the door with her arms crossed. She looked at him meaningfully. “Are you done with the call, Mr. Second Male Lead?” 

Xander’s expression did not change. “What are you doing here?” 

“I wanted to tell you that Liana asked you to pick her up from the hospital tomorrow morning, but I accidentally overheard your call.” 

She clicked her tongue, looking Xander up and down in disappointment. She shook her head and said, “Based on your attitude, you’ll never find a wife for the rest of your life. ‘Promise me you’ll take care of yourself‘? Really?

“Any other man would have bought a plane ticket to Oskon City immediately if only to personally put a coat over her shoulders. She doesn’t need a measly reminder. 

“What, do you think she wouldn’t take care of herself unless you asked her to?” 

Yvonne’s words were harsh, but after she finished, she sighed. “Xander, you shouldn’t be so careful.” 

Xander was silent for a moment. When he spoke, he did so in a tone that Yvonne could not understand. “Didn’t Liana tell you that my mother’s condition has worsened?” 

Yvonne was taken aback. “What?” 

Xander smirked self–deprecatingly. “That’s why I have to go overseas again in two days.” 

Liana had not mentioned that at all. Yvonne did not know what to say. After all, there was nothing they could do about Xander’s mother’s situation. 

After Melanie checked the details of the proposal, she wanted to talk to Eugene again. 

She had not dared to commit to the collaboration with LeapCo at first, but now that she had Xander’s affirmation, she felt more confident.
