The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Evelyn considered herself open and straightforward. She smiled, waiting for Eugene’s response. Eugene glanced at her. The creases on his forehead smoothed out, and his indifferent eyes showed no “I'm not interested in playing such boring games with you.”

With that, he left. Evelyn’s expression made her seem pitiable for a fleeting second, but she immediately followed him as if nothing had happened.

Xander and Melanie headed to the garden and saw Liana accompanying an old lady from afar. The old lady had gray hair and wore reading glasses. Xander introduced, “This is my grandmother.”

Xander’s grandmother had a kind and gentle demeanor. Although she could not hear very well, she kept smiling as she looked at Melanie,

After chatting for a while with Xander’s grandma, it was time. Since the weather was still cold, Xander took his grandma back to the living room.

The Scott family were all goodlooking. They stood out wherever they went.

Evelyn, Peyton, and Stella chatted as they smiled. With Eugene and Cedric beside them, the family looked harmonious and happy.

Liana leaned over to Melanie and said, “My old man invited almost half of the business circle in Jepton for his birthday this time. That’s why he had to invite the Scott family.”

Melanie nodded. “That’s how socializing works.”

“I'm glad you don’t mind,” Liana said.

Melanie had nothing to mind. She did not have to socialize with Eugene.

However, it was the first time she had seen Xander’s father. Unlike Cedric’s seriousness, Jack Solomon always had a smile on his face and seemed amiable to everyone.

Even when Xander introduced her, Jack just nodded and smiled.

To be honest, he looked different from what Yvonne said about the wicked father who drove Xander’s mother insane for an illegitimate child and expelled Xander from the family.

“Dad.” A voice sounded right then. Xavier appeared dressed in a suit with a polite smile on his face. He said, “These are my friends.”

He brought over a few people, including Simon, the leader of those Jepton playboys.

When Simon saw Melanie, he laughed and made a rude gesture. He said, “Melanie, you're quite a Chapter 209

capable employee. You're even attending the birthday party of your boss‘ father.

“In the future, if someone in the Xander family gets sick, will you go to the hospital to visit them too?” Simon was well-known in jepton for being rude, He spoke without thinking twice. However, he was standing far from Xander’s father, so only Melanie and a few people nearby heard it.

There was an uproar of laughter. These wealthy playboys loved trouble

Melanie glanced at him, unaffected, “Well, when you get sick, I'll visit you in the hospital.” Simon's face darkened as he gritted his teeth, “Are you cursing me?!”

Melanie did not continue the topic and turned around.

Dealing with people like Simon, who enjoyed a battle of words, was boring,

She sat down ona couch in the corner. After a while, Liana came over with a slice of cake. She handed it directly to Melanie, “! almost forgot that you're pregnant and have to eat. Have some of this first.” The content is on noveldrama.org! Read the latest chapter there!

Melanie was indeed a bit hungry and did not refuse. However, whether it was due to the crowded space or poor ventilation, the long-lost feeling of nausea and discomfort surged up as soon as the cake was near her nose.

She quickly put down the cake. Liana had not gone far. Seeing the situation, she quickly took Melanie to the bathroom.

After resting in the bathroom for a while, Melanie finally recovered. She apologized, “Sorry, and thank you for helping.”

Liana looked at her pale face and shook her head. “My bad. You’re pregnant and should be resting at home.”
