The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 776

Chapter 776

Evelyn’s smile froze on her face as she subconsciously glanced at Eugene.

To be honest, Eugene was the most satisfactory candidate for marriage she had encountered so far. He could be considered the cream of the crop whether in terms of appearance, ability, or family background.

Evelyn remembered what Peyton had told her and made an effort to restrain her emotions. Waving her hand casually, she said, “Okay, it’s my fault. I won’t do it again in the future.”

Despite saying that, there was still a gloom in her eyes. She was not stupid. She could see how protective Eugene was of Melanie.

The first time they met in Prime City, Eugene’s gaze would involuntarily follow Melanie whenever she was around. Even if he acted cold, his eyes and subconscious movements betrayed his feelings.

Evelyn did not have many hobbies, but she liked studying people. She knew since back then there was an unspoken relationship between Eugene and Melanie. However, she had not been particularly interested in Eugene then, so it had not mattered to her.

Things were different now. Eugene was her fiancé, and it had been firmly established. Of course, she could not tolerate Melanie’s existence, including the child in her belly. It did not matter if it was Eugene’s or not.

Peyton had been the one to teach Evelyn, so she naturally understood the principles of nipping a problem in the bud and the boiling frog.

She quickly regained her composure and looked at Eugene, saying, “I’ve discussed the matter of our cooperation with my mother. She’s very interested in what you said. If you can return to LeapCo’s headquarters, it’ll have a great impact on us.”

In their last two days in Prime City, Reny suggested going mountain C. “I heard there’s a famous hot spring inn on Crane Mountain. We can enjoy the hot springs there for a night and then end this trip beautifully.”

Although Melanie could not go into the hot springs given her pregnancy, she did not have any objections to the idea.

The next morning, the group set off directly for Crane Mountain. The temperature on the mountain was low, so Melanie changed accordingly when they left in the morning. Reny eyed her belly thoughtfully. “I feel like our little Merry has grown a bit. Do you feel anything?”

Melanie also looked at her belly, which indeed seemed rounder than before. However, she did not really feel anything different. Just when she said that to Reny, she felt a movement in her belly. It was as if something had moved.

Melanie was momentarily stunned, thinking she might have imagined it.

By the time they arrived at Crane Mountain, it was already noon, so they went up by car directly because of Melanie’s condition. The inn was serene, and the air in the area was good, making it an

ideal place to relax.

Reny happily took photos and shared them in the group chat. Melanie followed her, surveying the inn’s surroundings. From afar, she saw a group of people approaching. They were led by a young woman who was accompanied by Cedric and a few others.

The young woman was the owner of the inn. Her voice was gentle and clear as she introduced the inn’s facilities to Cedric. Melanie’s steps faltered. How could she forget that Cedric and Stella had a habit of investing?

Cedric would definitely seize the opportunity to buy a lot of land for development when tourism in Prime City had already started booming!
