That smile stabbed Eugene’s heart. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He could barely control himself as he opened the door, got out of the car, and walked toward those few people.

Melanie was the first to notice Eugene. She was tidying up Meredith’s clothes, but when she saw Eugene, the smile on her face vanished.

Xander noticed him and instinctively stood in front of Melanie. Seeing Xander’s natural protective gesture, Eugene’s expression turned colder.

Everyone’s expressions did not look too good, except for Meredith in Xander’s arms. She glanced at one person and then another before finally smiling at Eugene.

Eugene was stunned, and some part of his heart softened. He was just about to reach out and hug her

when he saw Xander turning Meredith in another direction.

As Eugene was about to speak, he heard Melanie’s icy voice. “What are you doing here?”

The vigilance in her eyes made Eugene momentarily silent, and the anger in his heart also subsided.

He looked at Melanie. “I need to talk to you.”

Melanie was straightforward. “I don’t want to listen.”

Eugene felt sad but still said, “I heard you went to LeapCo yesterday.”

Only then did Melanie raise her eyelids to look at him. She then said to Xander, “Can you wait with

Meredith over there? I need to talk to him.”

Xander glanced at Eugene before nodding. “Sure. Let me know if you need anything.”

Eugene watched Melanie’s obedient demeanor and heard Xander’s words. A self–deprecating smile slowly spread across his lips.

Melanie used to be like this in front of him too–obedient and well–behaved. Even if she were angry, she would not look at him with such cold eyes. When did things change?

Eugene did not dare to think about it.

“So, what do you want to tell me?” Melanie’s cold voice interrupted him. She stood in front of him, her expression indifferent.

Eugene closed his eyes. “You saw Cedric yesterday, didn’t you? He knows about Meredith. Sooner or later, he’ll come after you.”

Eugene’s voice carried disgust when he mentioned Cedric, something Melanie found hard to ignore.

“I can’t always pay attention to what’s happening on your end, so if he asks to meet you again, don’t agree,” he continued. “As for William, don’t have too much contact with him either.”

After listening to all he had to say, Melanie asked, “Is that all?”

Eugene looked at her, and she said, “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll leave.”

“Melanie.” Eugene grabbed her wrist, his voice heavy. “Everything I said is true.”

Melanie glanced at the hand he had grabbed, her voice faint. “I didn’t say it was false.

“But so what?” She scoffed lightly. “If I hide from Cedric, will everything be fine? He has ways to find me, doesn’t he?”

Eugene tightly pursed his lips, not saying anything.

There was a hint of mockery in Melanie’s eyes. She shook off Eugene’s hand. “Don’t bother telling me such nonsense, Eugene. Don’t treat me like a fool.”

After saying that, she left. After a few steps, she stopped and looked back at him. “Don’t use your alternate account to message me anymore. It’s childish and boring. I’m not interested in whether it’s‘ 1‘ or ‘2‘. I’ve asked around, and no one in Nava knows Mr. 2.”
