The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Melante looked outside at the forest, which began to look misty. Her voice was very soft. I don’t care anymore,” 

She really did not care anymore. She had cared too much before, which was why she had lived in so much misery. 

It was a release for her to stop loving anyone. She did not care about much now, which was why her life had become better and better. 

The moment she said that, she was pulled forcefully into Eugene’s arms. He grabbed her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. There was fluster and anxiousness inside them. “Don’t… You have to care. Your can’t not care anymore.” 

That look in Melanie’s eyes made him panic. 

Her eyes were empty. They looked like nothing in the world could get her to stay. Eugene felt like she could vanish right in front of him the next second. 

Eugene thought he was going crazy. He could not bear the empty, nonchalant look that Melanie was giving him. He would rather see coldness and annoyance in her eyes. 

Melanie warned him, “Let go.” 

The rain did not continue long. When it stopped, the mist dissipated as well. 

They had been gone for two hours, and Melanie did not want to stay any longer out there. 

However, it was difficult for her to head back in her condition. 

Eugene’s wide back faced her as he crouched. “I’ll carry you back,” 

Melanie frowned. She had been quiet after her conversation with Eugene just now. 

He did not look back. All he said was, “Merry is still waiting for you. It’s going to rain again if we don’t head back now.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Eugene had purposely said Meredith’s name. He did not dare to look at Melanie’s reaction because of it and was even a little rigid from being nervous. 

Melanie paused when she heard Meredith’s name. She frowned. It was pointless for her to correct Eugene now. 

Besides, he was right. It would be even more troublesome if it rained before they got back. 

It was quite a distance to the picnic area, and Melanie climbed onto Eugene’s back. She could feel how wide his back was and how steady his steps were. 

She felt safe on his back. She did not move while he was carrying her. 

Eugene said nothing until they left the forest and could see the tent. 

He said, “I was being serious about what I said during that game. I made a mistake. You can be as angry as you want, but please give me a chance to make it up to you.” 

Melanie replied sarcastically, “Why should I?” 

Why should she give Eugene a chance to make amends? 

Did he think the world revolved around him? 

Eugene was silent for a while. “I’ll do anything you want.” 

“I want you to never appear in front of me ever again and disrupt my life.” 

Eugene smiled bitterly and with self–deprecation. He stopped to digest this before saying, “You can’t act so dictatorial about this.” 

Melanie felt that Eugene was extremely self–centered. He was fine when he treated others this way, but when he was being treated the same way, he accused that person of being dictatorial. 

The world did not work that way. 

Melanie stopped talking to him. 

The camping trip was canceled due to the sudden rain. Everyone hurried back to the hotel. 

Melanie had to be carried up the stairs because she sprained her ankle. Everyone turned to look at Eugene.
