The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melanie got into the car with Philip and explained to him the misunderstanding that had just happened with Lilia, clarifying their relationship. Philip did not mind and politely sent Melanie back to the hotel.

The night had not been entirely unfruitful. At least Melanie got Lilia’s contact information, and they agreed to meet again after returning to the Nava.

Yvonne sent her a few videos of Merry and then asked: [What do you think of Philip?]

Melanie did not think much and answered truthfully: [He’s nice.]

[Do you want to try dating him? We were college classmates, and he’s super honest. I don’t think I’ve seen him interact with any woman much. His family situation is simple. He’s an only child, and his parents are university professors.]

Melanie did not find messaging satisfying and called her. Yvonne said, “I’m telling you, Philip is someone with a strong sense of responsibility.”

Melanie sighed. “You’re overthinking it, and I’m fine now.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“I just think you two should get in touch. I’ll ask him out next time and you two can meet.”

Hearing this, Melanie knew then that Philip still did not know anything about this. Afraid that Yvonne would really go and tell Philip about this, she quickly emphasized to Yvonne not to do it. She only ended the call after she felt assured.

Melanie had a flight back to the Nava tomorrow morning, but she could not sleep. She kept tossing and turning in bed. It was still raining outside, not heavily but drizzling.

Her phone on the bedside table rang. Melanie picked it up and looked at it, surprised to find another message from 1

[When it comes to dating, you must keep your eyes open. Not everyone is a good guy.]

It was a short message, but it instantly made Melanie extremely uncomfortable.

The message’s self–righteous tone made it hard for Melanie not to suspect that some greasy old man in his 40s or 50s with a beer belly was behind it. She suppressed her anger and tapped on the profile picture to delete the contact.

Thinking that this person might be a prominent figure in Nava who was introduced to her, however, she hesitated and thought better of it.

She typed out a cold reply into the message box and sent it out: [You have no right to interfere in my private affairs.]

Ten minutes passed before a reply came, but the message contained only a period.

Offended by this person, Melanie did not want to deal with them anymore and threw her phone aside

before forcing herself to sleep.

The next day, she had an early flight back to Naon and a fall figure waiting for her. Nava was slightly warmer than Jepton, and Xander was wearing a dark gray overcoat. His demeanor was exceptional.

He stood amidst the crowd, his gaze pausing slightly as ive reached out his hand to Melanie. “Give me your luggage”

Melanie did not get to see Xander many times ever since coming to Nava. He was always busy, only occasionally coming to Nava on business trips to have a meal with her before hastily leaving again.

Melanie had heard from Yvonne and Reny that Xander had been having significant conflicts with his family lately. Xavier had also remained in Jepton and did not go back.

Xander never mentioned any of this to her, though. Every time he came to Nava, he always brought gifts, some for her and some for Merry.

Approaching him, she asked, “Why are you here? Yvonne said you just arrived in Nan City last night.”

“I happened to have a day off, so I came over.” Xander’s voice was gentle. He seemed to have matured a bit compared to before. His clear features were more distinct, and he appeared even more distant.
