The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

She decided to let it be.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

If Eugene felt like she was putting up a pretense, then so be it.

The room turned silent after they were done talking. Melanie thought Eugene would leave.

However, Eugene unbuttoned the top of his shirt and did not look like he wanted to leave.

Melanie could not kick him out if he wanted to stay. After all, they had just been talking about the penalty for breach of contract. She sat at the side of the bed for a while before silently taking her pajamas into the bathroom.

Melanie was waiting for Eugene to leave of his own accord, but he was still around after she . was done with her bath. She was wearing the bathrobe from the hotel, and she made sure her collar was covered up tight.

Melanie had just washed her hair, and it fell messily all over her shoulders.

Eugene looked quite relaxed. He stared at Melanie and asked casually, “Did you sleep with other men during this time?” Melanie was taken aback. She thought she had heard wrong. “What did you just say?”

Eugene looked up at her. “Stephen York, Joshua Hewitt, and that man who drove you back today.”

He mentioned those names nonchalantly and asked Melanie, “Which of them did you sleep with?”

Melanie felt the blood inside her body froze. She looked at Eugene in disbelief. However, he looked back at her with a flat expression. “Answer me.”

Silent, Melanie found herself having difficulty breathing. Her nails dug into her palms, but she felt no pain.

It took her quite a while before she managed to find her voice. Her voice quivered as she asked Eugene, “Is that what you think of me?”

Eugene did not seem to sense her emotions. He stared at her for quite a while and contemplated something before asking again, “Didn't you sleep with them?”

Melanie pressed her lips tight. She had no idea what to answer.

Eugene stood up and came close to Melanie. He reached out to grab Melanie’s chin. His voice was so cold it chilled Melanie. “It's best that you didn’t. You know how much | hate when my things get dirty.”

The grip on Melanie’s chin was strong, forcing her to look straight into Eugene’s eyes. She could see the disdain that flashed in his eye..

Melanie’s heart felt heavy. She could hardly breathe.

Eugene was a womanizer who never rejected any woman who threw themselves at him. He had Viola waiting for him in Jepton, and there was also Evelyn upstairs.

Melanie could feel his grip on her chin getting harder, but she did not even attempt to struggle. All she did was press her lips and stare back at him.

She did not realize that her eyes were now red and she looked quite upset.

Eugene could see that look on her face very clearly.

However, there was only coldness in his eyes. He almost crushed Melanie’s chin as he clenched his teeth to say, “Who do you think is clean? Stephen York? Or some other random men?”

The stronger his grip was, the more pain Melanie felt, and her face turned even whiter. However, she still chose to retort, “What about you? Are you one of the random men having an affair with me?”

She sounded like she was crying.

Melanie had been with Eugene for eight years. Everyone had thought she was his legitimate girlfriend back then, but she was. now just his booty call that was not worth a thing.

Her confidence back then was like a slap to her face now.

Melanie bit her lip and closed her eyes. She did not want to continue looking at Eugene. That was about right.

She had been overconfident before because she thought she was special to Eugene.

It was only now that she finally understood that she was no different from any other woman. She was nothing but a plaything to him.
