The Unfaithful Mr. Scott

Chapter 261 Melanie froze when she heard the words ‘new tenant’. However, she snapped out of her disbelief and packed her things.

Her grandfather’s things were placed in a box, and Melanie checked if anything was missing. Only then did she start packing her things.

Eugene gave her this house shortly after she finished her intern period at LeapCo.

Melanie had been staying in the old house in the north part of the city back then. Eugene felt she was wasting too much time getting back and forth from work and home. Hence, he got her a place in Prestige Residences.

Melanie had been living here for six years and had many things. However, looking at them now, she realized only a few belonged to her. She could stuff them in one or two suitcases.

The others belonged to Eugene.

The neckties and shirts he left behind, the medicines she used to prepare for him, the aroma diffuser he liked, the cufflinks he used to wear, the glasses he drank out of, and many others...

She could see Eugene’s things everywhere.

After she packed everything and cleaned the house, she noticed even the home decoration style was done according to Eugene’s liking.

She had been living under the roof of someone else like a pathetic parasite for years. Now that he had dumped her, she had to scram.

She deserved it.

It was pointless to think so much.

Melanie looked at the ground and prepared to carry her suitcases, but a firm hand grabbed them and stopped her. Xander said, “I'll help you with these.”

He did not care whether Melanie agreed and immediately took the suitcases.

Melanie’s suitcases were moderate in size, yet she had packed many books into them, which made them heavy. Frowning, she asked, “Why don’t we carry them down together?”

Xander lifted his eyebrows and asked, “Do | look that weak to you?”

Melanie recalled the time in Prime City when he had carried her with one arm and how easily Xander carried blocks of wood around while working. She stopped making a fuss about it.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, they heard a thumping sound just as they walked out of the house. It seemed that the movers had started working. Melanie had never liked the furniture here.

Eugene went for the big sofa because he felt the previous one was too small. The projector was because he said he wanted to watch a movie once, and Melanie bought it.

Everything in the house was decorated according to Eugene’s preferences and had nothing to do with her. Melanie and Xander put her suitcases into the car. Then, Xander asked her, “What are your plans?”

“Can you drive me to the north area of the city?”

Melanie’s car was still at the hotel, and she was not planning on driving it over. He did not ask why and drove as Melanie pointed in the right direction until they reached her old residence.

It was an old residential area, and the road was narrow. Moreover, the environment here was poor. Fortunately, Xander’s driving skills were good, and they managed to avoid those bicycles by the roadside. He pulled over in front of Melanie’s house.

He looked around with a frown. “Why did you come here?” Melanie opened the car door and said, “I grew up here.” The old residence had been left empty for years. Even with Albert cleaning it each year, it was still dusty.

Melanie had accompanied Albert here when it was dark and the dust was not obvious. Xander followed behind her and rejected her plan upon seeing this place.

“You might not be able to stay here for now,” Xander said after a moment of silence.
