The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

“Oh, you were just in the flirting stage?” Harriet nodded in understanding. “Although, Eugene Scott has quite a ruthless personality. It must require a lot of courage to date him.

“My friend says that it’s always scary to see him at work. I heard that he used to have a fiancee, but things didn’t work out between them.”

Melanie stayed in Jepton for a couple more days as she was worried that Merry would have a fever again.

Yvonne came straight to Melanie the moment she got off work. Liana visited once as well but had to leave in a hurry soon after. The Solomons were in a state of chaos recently, and it was probably the reason why Xander was coming back.

Stephen called Melanie to ask about her, but he could not visit her because he was in Oskon City.

Melanie had not seen Stephen since she moved to Nava. They only kept in touch via phone calls and

messages.

She jokingly asked Stephen if he was planning to break into the Oskon City market. He paused before replying, “It’s not impossible. I’d like to develop something in Oskon City if there’s an opportunity.”

Melanie was reminded of Nicole but did not mention anything about her.

It was Friday, and the weather was nice. Melanie was bored being stuck inside the hotel and brought Merry out for a walk.

She did not expect to bump into Viola.

To be more precise, she bumped into Viola helping a middle–aged man with a limp. The man reeked of alcohol, and he was not dressed particularly well. He did not look taller than Viola because of his limp.

It looked like Viola was helping him walk, but in fact, he was the one who was grabbing onto Viola’s arm. Melanie could hear his loud voice despite being a traffic light away from them.

“What’s wrong with my drinking? It’s better than a hen like you who can’t lay a single egg, isn’t it?! You don’t have a healthy body, and you aren’t even a virgin! You should be happy that I’m even willing to marry you. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t forget as well that my mother paid your family a dowry of 2,000!”

He must have been drunk because he was slurring and was not speaking very clearly.

Melanie was reminded of what Yana had told her. Viola had gotten married, so this man had to be her

husband.

She had no sympathy for what she saw, especially when it was Viola.

Viola spotted Melanie, and she stood motionless with a blank look on her face, Viola was thinner than before. She looked haggard and sallow. Her cheekbones were showing prominently, Melanie wondered what Viola had gone through the past year to end up looking like that.

Melanie reacted calmly to seeing Viola, but Viola had a bigger reaction. She quickly lowered her head. Before the green light lit up, she tried to drag her alcoholic husband away.

He yanked her back and yelled drunkenly, “Are you blind?! Are you trying to get me killed and take my money to see other men behind my back?!

Melanie frowned the moment this fiasco started and quickly walked off with Merry.

There was a mall near the hotel with a tiger kiddie ride outside. Merry pointed at it excitedly.

Melanie accompanied her as Merry rode in it. The ride had just started when a few people walked out of the mall. “Where should we go next, Timothy? How about going up Autumn Hill? I heard they’ve gotten a few new rides there that really fly,”

“How fast can it go? Is it better than riding on me?” A voice filled with disdain was heard.

Melanie froze when she heard this voice.

It was Timothy.

What was he doing there?

The kiddie ride had not ended, and Melanie could not leave with Merry. She tried her best to be invisible as her back was facing Timothy.

However, Merry was having too much fun on the ride, and she could not stop chuckling.

Timothy hated children, and he began cursing at them impatiently. His gaze fell on Melanie’s slender back, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
