The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 678

Chapter 678 

Melanie stood at the door, her bright eyes seemingly seeing through everything. She calmly accepted Eugene’s probing gaze as he stared straight at her. He looked to be trying to extract evidence from her eyes to refute her words. 

Melanie did not give him the chance, however. She averted her gaze to the green plant behind Eugene and gently reminded him, “Be cautious about what I just told you regarding Mr. Fuller. After all, he wouldn’t be targeting me.” 

The man had repeatedly emphasized his care for Burning Star Studio and Xander, and he had provided substantial help to them. Moreover, Xander had referred to him as his mentor. It was why Melanie immediately ruled out the idea of Fuller targeting her.

voice. 

They both looked up simultaneously in the direction of the voice.. 

Hugh walked over with his suitcase, still wearing his poker face. His gaze settled on the hand that Eugene was using to support the door frame. He pondered for a moment before saying, “I just booked a restaurant. Let’s go out for dinner.” 

He paused for a moment and then added, “Like a romantic dinner for couples.” 

Melanie looked at his serious expression and was first startled. She then quickly realized what he meant. She nodded. “Okay.” 

Hugh then took out a piece of candy from his pocket and held it out to Melanie. “I got this at the front desk when I was checking in. You have low blood sugar, so you can have this for now.”
