The Unfaithful Mr. Scott novel (Eugene and Melanie)

Chapter 857
Melanie's birthday party was lively, and it was already late when she returned
home at night. Meredith, the little girl, was already asleep from playing so much.
“Let me carry her,” Xander whispered. The smell of barbecue was strong, and
Xander did not like such greasy food, so he did not eat much. He remained clean
and fresh without a trace of smoke on
him.
Meredith had grown a bit, naturally becoming heavier. It was indeed hard for
Melanie to carry her throughout. She thanked Xander and handed over Meredith
to him.
Xander remarked, “She’s gained so much weight in just three months?”
“You said it yourself that it's been three months,” Yvonne said, returning and
joining them.
“In three months, flowers could have withered by now. You just came back. Not to
mention Merry gaining weight, Melanie could've even conceived a sibling for her
during this time.”
Yvonne had been drinking and was not paying much attention to her words.
Melanie felt awkward for a moment, but Xander just chuckled.
Melanie glanced at him. “What are you laughing at?”
“It's a good thing the flowers haven't withered,” Xander said.
Melanie looked at Xander, wanting to say something but hesitating.
A few days after Melanie's birthday, Yvonne and the others had to return to Nava.
They had work to wrap up there,
Melanie thought Xander would also leave with them, but Xander said he would
wait a few more days before leaving.
“Do you have something else to do in Jepton? You mentioned before that there
were important matters you hadn't dealt with,” she asked.
Xander paused. “There are some other things, but the most important matter has
been taken care of.”
Melanie acknowledged with a hum. Since Xander did not continue, she did not
press further.
After a minute of silence, Xander could not help but laugh. The next moment, he
looked helpless. Aren't you even curious about what it is?”
“Is it work-related or something to do with your family?” Melanie asked earnestly,
without any suggestive intent.
Xander did not know how to respond. After a moment of silence, he sighed.
“Apart from celebrating your birthday, I can't think of anything more important.

“Mel, you make me seem so foolish.”
Xander rarely joked like this. He truly felt at a loss because of Melanie. He
thought she would at least ask another question. However, as Xander kept
thinking, he ended up laughing at himself.
From the first day he met Melanie, be should have known she was the most
disciplined and would not cross boundaries.
