The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 670

Chapter 670 

Xander scrutinized Melanie from head to toe, his expression unusually serious. Melanie felt herself stutter to a pause under his gaze before looking up and asking, “Is there something on my face?” 

Xander’s distant gaze remained on her. His attitude was somewhat chilly as he asked, “Did you go. drinking?” 

Melanie knew he had misunderstood and explained what happened. However, even after hearing her explanation, Xander’s expression did not improve much. He lowered his gaze, his jawline tense. His usually affectionate eyes seemed more serious. 

He remained silent for a moment before speaking in a voice tinged with helplessness, “Don’t go to such places in the future. Do you want your baby to grow up with a drinking problem? Besides, 

Howard was there. It’s not safe.” 

On the day Xander arrived in Oskon City, Melanie informed him about Howard since it was not something she could keep under wraps. 

As her current boss, Xander had the right to know. Otherwise, if Howard caused trouble as Dylan did, keeping him in the dark would only lead to trouble. 

Melanie could see the concern in his eyes and nodded her assent. “I won’t go again in the future.” 

The moment she said that, she heard footsteps behind her, followed by a faint smell of alcohol. 

Lee was behind Eugene, and he said to Melanie quietly, “Melanie, when did you come back?” 

Melanie glanced back and caught sight of Eugene. It was early winter, and he was not wearing a jacket —only a thin shirt with the collar open. It revealed a small area of his collarbone. 

His skin had taken on a pinkish hue after having drunk. His dark eyes were brighter, making him seem much more approachable. He held the jacket casually in his hand and was glancing down at Melanie from his higher vantage point. There were indescribable emotions in his eyes. 

Melanie paused. “Mr. Scott had to drink quite a lot tonight. Since he’s been drinking, it’s better for him to go back to his room and rest as soon as possible.” 

Before she could say anything, Xander stepped in front of her, blocking off the faint smell of alcohol 

coming from Eugene’s body. Melanie could not see Eugene’s expression, but she could hear him chuckle softly before stepping away. 

Xander turned back to her and said, “Let’s go.” 

The food Xander brought back was delicious and had authentic Jepton flavors. Melanie had not eaten much before. When she smelled the food now, her appetite was whetted. Xander served her some chowder and said after some thought, “I’ll be heading back to Jepton.” 

Melanie nodded. She knew Xander had come here to fulfill a client’s order. Now that that was settled, 

he had to go back.
