The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Simon’s words were said deliberately for Melanie’s ears. It was not a sudden awakening of his conscience but rather Simon not wanting his friend, Eugene, to suffer at the hands of a woman.

Just when he was about to tell Melanie about Eugene’s injury, she coldly replied, “Apologizing without even saying sorry? Is that what you call an apology?”

Simon paused, his brows furrowing together as he looked at Melanie. “If that’s your attitude, we won’t accept it.”

Simon’s expression changed as he gave Melanie a warning look.

Timothy was infamous in Nava for being a troublemaker. He was raised abroad and only recently returned to the country. He was involved in an accident not too long ago that crippled the victim’s leg. Simon was about to warn Melanie to shut up when he heard a bang. Melanie slammed the door shut right in front of his face. It was the first time Simon had been treated like this, and his expression contorted.

Back in the living room, Yvonne asked Melanie who had come, to which she calmly replied, “Simon said he came to apologize.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“He apologized?” Yvonne shook her head in disbelief. Melanie said, “That’s why I didn’t let them in.” The sudden encounter ruined their mood even though Xander kept insisting he was fine. Besides, Melanie did not want to stay on the mountain any longer. The closer she was to Eugene, the more worried she became about Merry.

It was evening by the time Simon learned Melanie’s group had left.

Simon pushed open Eugene’s room door. “They left in the afternoon.”

Eugene was still working, his phone connected to an international call. He glanced at Simon and then ended the call. “I know.” His window was facing the house, so he had seen them leave in the

afternoon.

Melanie was careful to support Xander by his side, protecting him as much as possible. She was afraid of him accidentally getting hurt again.

Back in the city, Melanie immediately took Xander to the hospital for another check–up. She was not

very confident in the clinic in the scenic area.

Fortunately, the results showed no serious issues, but Xander would not be able to use his hand for a while. He also needed someone to take care of him.

Oliver was standing to one side. He rubbed his nose as he said, “It’s not that I don’t want to help the boss; he doesn’t want me to help. He’s a bit of a clean freak. He won’t even go into the hot springs with us.

Melanie looked at Xander, who shrugged helplessly. “It’s not a serious injury. I can still take care of myself.”

Melanie decided to make soup for Xander every day. Since he planned to work on a project in Nava later, Xander rented a house a few days ago. It was in the same neighborhood as Melanie’s. It was very close, so Melanie would have no trouble delivering soup over after work.

Back then, Melanie’s cooking skills were average at best, but she had improved after living alone in Nava and cooking for herself. Now, she could manage quite well.

Merry was currently with Yvonne, who was babysitting her. When Melanie came over with the soup, she saw the little one sitting among a pile of new clothes, smiling happily. Yvonne was playing with her like she was a doll, changing her into one outfit after another.

After watching them for a while, Melanie called Xander out to drink the soup. When she opened the thermos, a fragrant aroma wafted out.

“Your cooking skills are good enough to open a restaurant,” Yvonne said in an exaggerated tone. She picked up

her phone and recorded the soup, saying, “I’m going to make a New Year’s vlog.” Xander’s injury was not serious. After resting at home for about a week, he was almost fully recovered. As he had handed over all the studio’s matters, he was not busy anymore.
