The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 588 1/2

When she got down the stairs, it was inevitable that she bumped into Lee and Eugene. Eugene did not look as pale as the night before and it seemed like his condition improved after taking the medication.

Lee greeted her. “Are you heading to the meeting hall? We can go over together.” Melanie rejected the offer without a second thought. “That’s not necessary.” Eugene was looking at his phone when he suddenly glanced at her stoically, “Don’t be late.”

It turned out Eugene was right about being late. Melanie was stuck in Oskon City’s rush hour and when she was about to arrive at the meeting hall, there was an accident on the road.

By the time she got there, the summit had started for half an hour.

The main speaker on stage was Fuller and he indicated for her to enter the hall.

Melanie went to explain herself apologetically to Fuller during break time. He was very gracious about it and did not mind.

“Oh, looks like you had a good night yesterday,” a suggestive yet teasing voice spoke up. Melanie turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Yvette.

She smiled at Melanie. “I thought Mr. Scott wouldn’t be able to do a thing after getting so drunk yesterday. Looks like | was wrong.”

Melanie ignored the suggestive look in Yvette’s eyes. “His secretary came to get him not long after we got to the hotel.” Yvette was bewildered. “Huh?”

Melanie continued, “We only have a working relationship. Besides, I’m already pregnant.’

“Are you married?” Yvette was even more astonished by this. Melanie replied, “Nope.”

She did not want to continue the conversation with Yvette and she went to a corner to pick up a call.

It was a call from an unknown number and a man with a deep but unhappy voice spoke, “Where are you?” Melanie asked, “Did you get the wrong number?”

“I'm Hugh Brand. Yvonne got me to come over.”

Melanie was taken aback. “Why did she ask you to come?”

“To pretend to be your baby’s father.”

Melanie had no idea this was what Yvonne meant when she said she made arrangements.

After the summit ended, she saw a healthy-looking young man in a white t-shirt and a baseball cap standing outside the meeting hall. It was Hugh.

Hugh walked over to her with an unhappy look when he saw her. “Yvonne said you're urgently seeking a make-do father for your baby.”

Melanie could feel the veins in her head throb. “It’s not that urgent. “Yeah. That would mean something must be wrong with Yvonne's brain again.” Hugh seemed to be used to this.

Melanie remembered that Hugh was a university student and she did not say anything else to him. All she asked was, “How many days are you planning to stay in Oskon City? Or are you planning to return

now?” “I'll probably be going back in a few days. It’s too much trouble to leave now.” Melanie was silent for a while before asking, “Have you gotten a hotel room?”

She had no idea that Yvonne's idea of settling this problem was to deliver this young man over

directly.

Melanie had no choice but to bring Hugh along to book a room. However, she did not expect to bump into Eugene walking in the moment she looked up. Matthew was right next to him.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Eugene saw her immediately but his glance turned quickly to Hugh, who was standing next to her.

The look in his eyes froze.

Melanie did not notice this about Eugene at all. The moment she saw Matthew, her gaze focused on him instead.

Matthew was looking back at her as well.

Their eyes met but there was no change to their expressions. This made Melanie sure about one thing. She turned her gaze away slowly to look at Hugh, who was next to her. “Are you done?”

Hugh nodded as he took his room card. “Come on. Let’s go upstairs.”
