Chapter 645
Melanie instinctively reached out to shove his arm away. Eugene looked at her coldly and then stood up, holding her arm firmly to prevent her from falling again.
Melanie was so close to him that she could feel the slight rise and fall of his chest when he spoke. His low voice was cold as he addressed Howard. “Thank you for showing me the full extent of your so- called love for your daughter.”
Howard’s eyes widened in anger, but the moment he met Eugene’s glare, he trembled. He timidly turned to Melanie and immediately regained his bravado again.
He snapped, “What are you talking about, you ungrateful girl? Who do you think I’m doing this for? I’m doing this for you…”
The only response he got was the sound of the door of the private room being slammed shut.
Melanie could not take it anymore. She pulled Eugene out of the private room. Howard’s self- righteousness was unbearable. She felt even worse than when Dylan had come looking for her.
Melanie left the private room and walked quickly to the lobby before stopping.
She clutched her chest, feeling as if someone had stuffed a ton of cotton into it. She could barely catch her breath.
It was only when she slowly recovered that she remembered that she was still holding onto Eugene’s
arm.
Eugene did not speak either. He lowered his eyes and waited for her to recover.
Eventually, Melanie slowly let go of him. She let out a frustrated breath and said in a very low voice, I’m sorry about tonight…”

She organized her words, but she did not know what to say. In the end, she could only swallow her words and frown in a daze.
After a while, she said, “You should head back to the hotel first. If Howard comes to look for you again, just tell him the truth.”
She was wrong for getting Eugene involved in her messy relationship with her father.
The corners of Eugene’s eyes twitched as he looked at her. “You want me to tell him the truth? Do you think he will stop even if he knows?”
Melanie subconsciously looked up and locked eyes with Eugene. The air froze for a moment, and she could clearly see the darkness in his gaze.
Melanie did not know how to respond to that. In her heart, she knew that he was right.
After what Howard had done so far, it was not hard to imagine him behaving exactly as Eugene had said.

Melanie did not want to think the worst of him, but Howard certainly did not look like the man he
used to be anymore.
