Chapter 116

Eugene remained calm and composed, holding her wrist firmly as he made his way forward with large

strides. The intimate contact discomfited Melanie, who struggled against it.

“I thought you were pretending to be blind just now with how slow you were. What’s with the pretense

now?” Eugene sneered above her head.

Melanie’s breath hitched as she whispered, “I have night blindness. I can’t see clearly. I wasn’t

pretending.”

Eugene’s steps faltered for a moment before he chuckled lightly and commented, “That’s a pretty good

excuse.”

Melanie said nothing else and let Eugene drag her to the entrance of the villa. When they finally

reached a well–lit area, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Eugene lowered his gaze to adjust his sleeve. He then looked up at Melanie nonchalantly before

entering.

Simon and Kellen were already sitting in the living room playing cards. When they saw Eugene and

Melanie, they greeted them and said, “Eugene, come join us.”

Melanie glanced over and saw the group playing cards. Kellen had a woman sitting on his lap. Her

makeup was thick on her face as she held his cards for him and responded to his words with a

charming smile.

The others at the table were in similar situations. It was a typical scenario of the scions enjoying their

leisure.

Melanie observed it all with an expressionless face and sat down next to Eugene.

Spirited, Simon immediately urged Eugene to join their card game as soon as he sat down.

Eugene lifted an eyebrow and looked at Melanie, saying, “You play.”

Melanie was taken aback. Eugene just calmly released her wrist, saying, “My hand hurts. I don’t feel

like playing.”

Eugene’s hands were slender and well–proportioned. His skin was pale, and the joints were obvious.

As Melanie looked at his hands, she inexplicably felt that Eugene was hinting at how he had brought

her here just now.

Her gaze flickered. She heard Simon discontentedly saying, “Eugene, are you brushing me off right

now?”

“I just don’t feel too well,” he said indifferently.

“You didn’t seem unwell just now.”

Eugene did not respond, and Simon let the matter drop. Clicking his tongue, he looked at Melanie.

“We’re playing big. Are you ready?”

Melanie did not want to play in the first place, and now, with Simon’s remark, she had the perfect

excuse to decline. However, before she could even say anything, she heard Eugene reply, “Her loss is

mine.”

Kellen exclaimed, “Oh!” He then threw the cards from the woman’s hands onto the table. ” Since you

said that, I won’t go easy.”

Melanie took her seat at the card table while Eugene leaned against the sofa, casually watching her

with a relaxed expression.

Simon chatted with Eugene while they played and eventually asked, “I’ve been wondering, you’ve been

out for quite a while today. Didn’t Viola look for you?”

Melanie’s hand that was holding the cards paused at Simon’s question. She heard Eugene

nonchalantly respond with a vague hum.

Simon clicked his tongue. He seemed to be implying something as he said, “No wonder.”

Melanie was not having much luck with the cards this round. Her hand did not look promising. A loss

seemed inevitable. Unfortunately, she also happened to be the first one to play.

The woman in Kellen’s arms could not help but press her when she noticed Melanie’s hesitation.

Melanie then reluctantly played her first card.

She did not play this game often, but she was familiar with the rules. However, her luck was particularly

bad this round, and she ended up losing in the end.

Kellen jokingly teased Eugene, “Mr. Scott, your secretary lost.”

Eugene’s expression remained unchanged as his gaze fell on Melanie. “How much did you lose?”

Melanie replied, “I’ll let you decide.”

Eugene leaned back on the sofa, showing no intention of moving. “I’ll take responsibility for your

losses. What’s there to be afraid of?”
