The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760 

It had been a long time since Melanie and Eugene had anything to do with each other. Allowing him to rest here was already generous of her. There was no need for him to stay the night. 

Melanie’s attitude was firm. She turned to look at Eugene and was ready to speak, only to meet his dark, misty eyes. 

Perhaps because he had just woken up, Eugene’s eyes looked gentler. They shone more than usual, looking less oppressive. 

Melanie gazed at him. “It’s already late. You can leave now.” 

Eugene lowered his gaze, looked at his phone, and murmured, “Mm.” 

After seeing Eugene off, Melanie looked back at the dining table. It was neatly organized, except for a USB flash drive in the corner. 

The flash drive bore the logo of LeapCo, which likely contained something important. 

Melanie snapped a photo and sent it to Eugene. He responded the following day, saying he would come to pick it up today. 

Today, the atmosphere was lively. The neighborhood was filled with more children than usual, along with people coming and going to celebrate the occasion. 

The living room window faced the road outside. Melanie sat in the living room by the window, responding to various well wishes. 

Aware of her situation, Stephen asked if she wanted to spend Christmas at his house, but Melanie rejected. 

Liana had already said she was taking Xander to their grandfather’s house for Christmas. 

Yvette happily posted a video on Facebook showcasing her family’s Christmas Eve. 

Everyone seemed joyous. Melanie cleaned the photos of her grandparents and bought groceries to make the food that they loved. 

Although her culinary skills were average, she had plenty of time to experiment and learn today. She spent the whole afternoon preparing four dishes. 

As dusk fell, she saw the outside light up with countless lights. Melanie, holding a spoon, froze. 

The TV in the living room started its festive programs. Melanie stood in the kitchen. Only a dim light illuminated the surroundings above her. 

She looked at her spoon and pursed her lips slowly. Her hands could not stop trembling. 

Someone was singing Christmas carols outside, making the night scenery feel more vibrant. Almost at the same time, a knock on the door interrupted Melanie’s thoughts.

Putting down the spoon, she went to answer the door. Eugene stood outside in the cold. 

“I’ve come to get the USB flash drive,” he said. His gaze passed over Melanie and landed on the Christmas dinner on the table behind her. He entered the room after he spoke.
