Seeing how unmoved Melanie was, Yvonne clicked her tongue and asked, “Why don’t you have any
reaction?”
“How do you expect me to react?” Melanie asked back blankly.
Yvonne opened her mouth as if to say something but hesitated. In the end, she just said, “Do you know the Scotts have already
found a candidate?”
Melanie lifted her glass of water, giving Yvonne a faint glance. “The daughter of Peyton from Prime City, Evelyn Shue.”
Yvonne immediately widened her eyes. “How did
you know?”
Melanie did not respond. She remembered the last time she encountered Evelyn at LeapCo and the words she had said. She
was also aware of Stella’s satisfaction with Evelyn.
Therefore, apart from Evelyn, Melanie could not think of any other suitable candidate for Eugene,

Seeing Melanie genuinely indifferent, Yvonne sighed lightly. “Boring! I thought you’d at least react a little.”
Yvonne and Melanie were now quite familiar with one another. Given Yvonne’s straightforward personality, she had no qualms
about mentioning Melanie’s relationship with Eugene.

Melanie herself did not mind others bringing it up. The facts were undeniable and did not require denial.
Indeed, she and Eugene had a past, and she once had feelings for him. That was an undeniable fact. So what?
She did not like him anymore.
When Henry called, it happened to be evening. Melanie had just made plans with Yvonne to grab a meal when she heard her
phone ring. She answered the call and heard Henry’s urgent voice. “Mel, where are you?””
“What’s wrong?”
“Come and accompany me. I’m–old now, and no one wants me. No one can control me.”
There was a hint of anger in the man’s voice. Melanie also heard the honking sound in the background on the other end of the
line.
Startled, she asked, “Where are you?”
Henry was in a small park in the city center. When Melanie went over, Landon was whispering something to him.
She walked over slowly and asked Henry, “Why did you come here? It’s windy here.”

When the old man heard Melanie’s voice, he slowly raised his head. His old face looked lonely as he held Melanie’s hand with a
sigh. “You’re the only one who still cares about me, good child.”.

Melanie instinctively sensed something off with the old man’s tone and frowned. “What’s wrong?”
Henry shook his head, not saying anything. Landon gestured at her, and Melanie silently followed them. It was not until they
found a nearby restaurant that Henry held Melanie’s hand and sighed again. “Mel...“‘“‘
Melanie waited for the old man to continue, but it seemed difficult for him to get the words out.
Finally, he asked, “Do you know about the arranged marriage candidate they found for Eugene?”
Melanie did not expect it to be about this, but she nodded and said, “I do.”
“This is a twisted trend. I don’t know where it started from, but they want a grown man who’s incapable to find a woman to marry
and support him.”
There was genuine sorrow on Henry’s face. His cloudy, wise eyes were fixed on Melanie. He looked like he wanted final
confirmation and asked, “Mel, I’ve considered you my granddaughter–in–law ever since Eugene brought you back that day. I...”
As if anticipating what Henry was about to say, Melanie calmly interrupted him. She paused for a moment before continuing,
“The weather has turned cold recently. Please don’t go to the park and expose yourself to the chill. It won’t be good if you catch a
cold.”
Henry’s brows furrowed slowly. He covered his mouth, coughing softly. “Mel, let me finish. I’ll ask you one last time. Is there really
no chance between you and Eugene? He’s about to get engaged. If you still have any thoughts about him....
“You should tell me the truth. I don’t believe I have absolutely no say when it comes to the Scott
family.“”
