“I've seen that little girl. She's very cute and looks a lot like Eugene,” William said
sincerely.
“Granddaughter?” Cedric’s expression was slightly mocking, like he had heard a
joke.
He looked at William and replied, “I don’t acknowledge Melanie and her child.
They'll never step past the Scott family’s door!”
“But Eugene seems to like them very much. I heard that when Merry was
hospitalized before, he made frequent visits to see her,” William said.
Cedric looked at him, his gloomy eyes even darker now. William simply stood
there, his expression unchanging as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Melanie was about to go abroad, so Yvonne took her to a friend's private
restaurant for dinner. Yvonne was downcast as she said, “How long will you be
away this time? It's annoying enough that I have to go to work. Now, I won't even
have someone to eat dinner with after work. How am I supposed to get through
these days?”
She looked at Melanie resentfully, her gaze condemning. It was as if she were
looking at someone who just cheated on her.
“It's just a business trip. It's not like I'm never coming back.”
“But you won't come back to Jepton, right?” Yvonne sighed. “I didn’t feel it before,
but why do I feel like time is passing so quickly now? You're all leaving in the
blink of an eye.”
Yvonne's words left a bitter taste in Melanie's mouth. She did not want to leave
Jepton either. Why would she leave her hometown if she had a choice? It was
because she did not have a
choice.
With Timothy and Cedric around, Melanie's life here was uncertain.
Seeing Melanie silent, Yvonne belatedly remembered the reasons why Melanie
was leaving Jepton. She felt her words catch in her throat.
After thinking for a moment, she recalled something she needed to tell Melanie. “I
heard from my mom that Stella moved back in with the Hel family. I didn’t know
she was forced to marry Cedric back then. My mom said she used to be very
gentle.
“But think about it, what kind of woman could watch her husband cheat for so
many years endure it silently? Anyone else would go crazy...”
and
Melanie listened quietly. Her relationship with Stella had never been good, so she
did not really

care much about her. Stella had been quite harsh toward her before, so Melanie
was not inclined to empathize with her. If she empathized with Stella, who would
empathize with her?
It was still early in the night after her dinner with Yvonne ended. There was a mall
nearby, and Yvonne wanted to go buy clothes for Meredith again. Kids grew so
fast. Meredith was so cute and delicate that Yvonne wanted to try every piece of
children’s clothing on her.
Melanie let Yvonne take Meredith to try on clothes, but the mall was crowded and
she inexplicably felt a little anxious. Her sixth sense has always been accurate.
She glanced in a certain direction and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes
looking at her.
The man clearly saw her too and was walking directly toward her. Melanie
immediately became alert and turned to look at Yvonne. Yvonne was holding
Meredith. They had just come out of the dressing room, and the little girl was
wearing a set of cute little duck clothes.
“How is it? I've got good taste, right? Our baby is super cute,” Yvonne said
proudly, but the man had already walked over.
He stopped beside Melanie. “Miss Melanie Smith, the chairman wants to see
you.

It was fine if Cedric wanted to see her, but there was no way she was bringing
Meredith along.
