1/2
Melanie's gaze flickered slightly when she saw Eugene on the stairs, the smile
on her face visibly fading. Xander also noticed Eugene, and his gaze dimmed
slightly. Though he did not say anything, he subconsciously moved his body
toward Melanie in a protective stance.
He happened to block Eugene's line of sight of Melanie. Melanie also instinctively
looked toward Merry, who was sleeping soundly on the couch.
Melanie had not expected Eugene to suddenly appear. She thought he was still
outside. She was not a generous person. If Eugene were to stop in front of Merry,
she would not be able to act as if nothing was going on.
Melanie was supposed to have given birth to Merry naturally, but due to her
being in the breech position, she ended up getting a Cesarean section. Due to
this, Melanie ended up suffering twice the
pain.
Moreover, she had a tendency to scar easily, so the scar from the C-section
would not fade so easily.
Most women cared about their appearance, and sometimes, Melanie felt regretful
when she looked at the scar on her belly. However, those regrets seemed
insignificant when she thought of Merry’s
cuteness.
That was why she was even more determined to protect Merry and prevent her
from being discovered by Eugene. She had experienced firsthand how ruthless
the Scott family could be. She believed it was best if they never knew about
Merry’s existence.
Melanie's attention was focused on Merry, so she did not notice that Eugene had
already come downstairs. There was a chilling aura emanating from him as he
approached them, and his footsteps were light. The corners of his eyes seemed
to casually sweep over them.
Melanie thought he was looking at Merry and shifted slightly. To Eugene, it looked
like she was intentionally hiding behind Xander, a deliberate act of avoiding him.
Eugene’s gaze turned cold. He turned and left.
Melanie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Merry, who was still sound asleep
with slight
hesitation.
“Do you think I should go back now?” she whispered to Xander. She was afraid
of Eugene being with Merry. Even if nothing happened, she still felt nervous.
“The place is still under maintenance now, so it’s not convenient for you to go
back. Besides, it would be strange if you took her back now.”
Xander reassured her, “Don’t scare yourself. If Eugene had recognized her, he
wouldn't have reacted like that.”
He had a point. Plus, Merry was only a few months old and her features were not
very distinctive. At least, Melanie herself could not tell who she resembled. Merry
was just chubby and cute.
