The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Time dissipated everything. Her biggest goal now was just to have Merry grow up safely and healthily, nothing more.

On New Year’s Eve, they packed their bags and went straight to the ski resort. Xander had already made the arrangements and booked a villa. However, Melanie did not expect to run into Eugene and his group here.

Melanie had known for a long time that Eugene was in Nava since Yvonne had told her about it before. Although she had not wanted to meet him, Melanie was not particularly worried either. After all, the city was large, and it was not easy to run into each other.

Besides, Eugene was probably already with Evelyn. Even if they did meet, so what? It would be like strangers meeting. They would not exchange more than a few words.

Naturally, Eugene was accompanied by Simon. When he saw Yvonne, he glanced at Merry and smiled insincerely. “Little friend, call me Uncle and I’ll give you candy.”

Yvonne rolled her eyes and moved back a bit with Merry, not bothering to retort to Simon. She was a bit anxious now. Although she was hot–tempered, she was not stupid. If it were just Simon, it would be fine. However, Eugene was here too.

It was obvious Melanie did not want Eugene to know about the child’s existence, and it was hard to predict what Eugene would do if he found out. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Yvonne now felt a pang of regret. Why did she have to suggest coming here to ski?

She subconsciously looked to Melanie for help, but Melanie’s brows were furrowed as she remained

silent.

“Let’s go inside the villa. It’s very cold outside,” Xander said, interrupting the standoff. He was standing next to Melanie and could clearly feel her tension.

He glanced at her and then at Eugene challengingly. “Mr. Scott, step aside, will you?”

After saying that, he grabbed Melanie’s hand and stepped forward. Melanie was accustomed to putting on a facade, so even if her heart was unsettled, she still remained calm on the surface.

Her heart had skipped a beat when she saw Eugene. It was one thing for her to encounter Eugene herself, but she could not let Merry meet him.

A belated sense of crisis surged through her. Knowing how ruthless the Scott family could be, it would not be good if they found out about Merry’s existence.

She instinctively tensed up when she walked past Eugene, her posture vigilant and defensive. However, Eugene’s gaze was fixed on her hand that was in Xander’s, his eyes deep and cold like distant mountains.

It was not until she returned to the villa that Melanie realized that 1 had sent her another message. However, it was from a couple of days ago, containing only a blank space with no content. Frankly, it was quite annoying.

Melanie did not want to be disturbed by his meaningless messages during the holidays, so she decided to just delete that message.

Yvonne held Merry with a worried expression. “We shouldn’t have come. I didn’t expect them to be here. Shall we go back?”

She was naturally referring to Eugene.

She looked at Merry in her arms, who knew nothing about what was going on. “I’m sorry, Merry. It’s my fault.”

She never expected Merry’s annoying biological father to also be here.
