The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 826
Yvonne shot Simon a glare before turning around and walking away. The yard
was not very big, and with over a dozen people squeezed in there, it felt
somewhat crowded.
After Simon followed Yvonne away, Melanie suddenly realized that Eugene was
sitting over there. However, due to her obstructed line of sight and the small
flower bed in between, she was not able to
see him clearly.
Her heart constricted as she wondered if Eugene had heard what was said just
now.
The barbecue was lively, and the atmosphere was somewhat festive. Despite not
being a big fan of barbecue, Melanie ended up eating quite a bit thanks to
Yvonne's offerings. Yvonne handed her another skewer, but Melanie refused,
saying, “No, I can't eat anymore.”
“This one’s for Xander. This skewer got a bit burnt,” Yvonne said, enjoying the
feeling of being the barbecue master. She was gradually taking over the role.
With a skewer of pork belly in her hand, Melanie went to look for Xander. The
place was not very big, and most people were crowded together. Xander was
standing next to the flower bed, chatting with Oliver. Melanie approached him
with the skewer.
As she neared the flower bed, there was a sudden explosion near her feet,
startling Melanie. She almost immediately jumped away. However, in the next
moment, she collided with someone and heard another explosion.
The sudden explosion was frightening. Melanie’s mind went blank, and her legs
were weak. Her face turned pale as she realized the explosions were happening
right under her feet.
Since Melanie had poor eyesight to begin with, being startled like this made
everything seem even more chaotic. She felt disoriented and panicked. She
could not help wanting to run forward.
Suddenly, she felt someone wrap their arms around her shoulder as they pulled
her into their arms. There was a muffled groan and a gasp in her ears.
For a while, all she could hear were the explosions and the cries of alarm. »
By the time Melanie was pulled up to her feet, her body was still weak. The
sensation of gunpowder exploding near her ears made her heart race. It was only
then that she saw Xander underneath her. He had collided with the small flower
bed behind him.
The edges of the flowerbed were designed to be aesthetically pleasing, with
angular and irregular shapes. His hand looked to have been injured, with several
holes burned into his sleeves. His once pristine skin was now marred with blood
from the wounds on his knuckles.
Xander was rushed to the clinic in the scenic area overnight. He had injuries of
varying degrees on his waist, hands, and elbows from the impact with the
flowerbed. In addition to the injuries on his knuckles, there were also abrasions
on several other parts of his arms.
The group of young men whom Simon had brought over to the barbecue had

somewhere and wanted to play a prank on him. However, one of them
accidentally threw it near Melanie's feet, causing the others to follow suit.
Melanie was startled and nearly fell, almost hitting her head on the flowerbed if
not for Xander’s quick reaction. He had protected her.

not for her.
