The Unfaithful Mr. Scott (Melanie and Eugene) novel Chapter 818

Chapter 818 

However, as long as he wore a slight smile, his features would immediately soften. Like a spring breeze thawing ice, his whole demeanor would become gentle and warm. 

He grabbed Melanie’s luggage and said, “Reny and the others are going to your house in a while. I was afraid they might disturb Merry, so I asked them to wait for you to come back before going.” 

His steady voice had a comforting power to it, and Melanie felt very grateful to Xander. When she first arrived in Nava, everything had been chaotic despite arrangements having been made by Matthew. It was Xander who contacted his former friends for help. 

When Merry was born unexpectedly early, half a month before the due date, Xander even helped to arrange everything with the hospital as well as prepare some other things. 

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Xander had provided the greatest assistance whenever Melanie needed help despite him not being in Nava. 

On the way, Melanie called Reny and the others. She met them when she returned home. 

Melanie had brought gifts for everyone. Yvonne peeked at the pen in Xander’s hand and could not help but mock, “Melanie, it doesn’t look like you put much thought into Xander’s gift. This pen looks ordinary, like something you picked up at a stationery store.” 

Xander glanced at her and calmly put away the pen before thanking Melanie warmly. “It’s a master collaboration. I really like it. Thank you.” 

“That’s all that matters.” 

The pen that Melanie gave to Xander was a limited edition collaboration between a certain brand and renowned artists, released to commemorate the brand’s 100th anniversary.

Merry was very outgoing and was not afraid despite so many people suddenly appearing in the house. She waved her little hands happily as different people held her. 

Melanie did not hide the fact that she had her child in Nava from the others in Burning Star Studio. There were only seven or eight people in the studio, including Xander. They were all close to Xander, so naturally, they would not gossip about it. 

Melanie was spending time with Merry and the others in the living room when she received a call from a client in Nava. When she came out of the study, she saw Yvonne and Reny dressing Merry. 

“The weather outside is quite nice. We’re planning to take Merry out to enjoy the sun and take some photos,” Yvonne said. 

Melanie had a habit of recording things. She bought a camera specifically for taking photos of Merry from when she was born. Sometimes, she could not help but marvel at how quickly children grew and

She put a little hat on Merry, grabbed the camera, and headed out. Xander and some of the other guys stayed back to cook. 

The neighborhood was close to a square, and the afternoon sunlight was perfect. Yvonne took Merry to the largest deer statue to take photos while Melanie was the designated photographer.
