Chapter 769 Melanie had not had further contact with Howard ever since returning to Jepton. He appeared pretty much the sas before, still gentlemanly and refined in appearance.
Standing a few steps away, Melanie watched him with his arm around Peyton's waist. Melanie's face was devoid of any expression. The intimacy of the two’s gestures was enough to confirm their relationship.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps her gaze had been too intense as Howard subconsciously looked over. When he saw Melanie, his expression changed. Sensing his unease, Peyton also looked up.
Upon recognizing Melanie, Peyton's expression turned slightly cold. “Melanie? What are you doing here?” Melanie glanced at her. She was about to say something when she heard Howard's gentle voice.” Peyton, can you go inside and wait for me? | need to take care of something first.” Peyton’s gaze shifted between Howard and Melanie. She then let out a snort. “Howard, is this the daughter you toldabout? The one you had with your ex-wife?” Her eyes and tone were filled with scrutiny as if she were standing on a pedestal.
Melanie calmly observed the panic in Howard's eyes, her lips curling in derision as she turned to leave. Whatever was going on between Howard and Peyton was his own business, not hers.
However, before she reached the elevator, she heard footsteps behind her. It was followed by Howard's urgent voice. “Melanie, wait!” Melanie paused, and Howard cup from behind her, pulling her aside. She stumbled slightly but steadied herself. She looked toward the hotel entrance. Peyton was no longer there.
She was not bothered to think about whether Howard had managed to placate her or not. Melanie only lowered her gaze mockingly. [x] “Why are you in PrCity? Weren't you in Jepton?” Howard asked. His tone was unpleasant as well as impatient.
Melanie looked up coldly and replied, “Do | need to report all my whereabouts to you?” “You!” A dark look flashed across Howard's face. His gaze was fixed on Melanie for a while before he softened his attitude and said, “I have important matters to attend to in PrCity. I'm not asking anything from you. Just don’t drag my affairs.” Melanie looked at Howard indifferently. The worry on his face was completely unhidden, and it was obvious that it was for no other reason than the fact that he had not expected to bump into Melanie. He thought Melanie would ruin things between him and Peyton.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelanie withdrew her gaze and said emotionlessly, “Your so-called important matters involve being with Peyton? Well, rest assured, I'm not in the mood, and neither do | have the tto interfere with Chander 79% you two.” Her words were somewhat harsh, and Howard's expression darkened. “Do you know her?” “No, | don’t.” 2/2 Melanie's good mood for the day vanished instantly when she saw Howard and Peyton. She went straight back to her room to rest. The moment she got upstairs, however, she saw Reny looking for her.
When Reny saw her, she blinked and asked, “Where did you go? We were just talking about going to the ancient city to have fun and have dinner.” Melanie wanted to refuse the invitation at first, but she did not want to dampen Reny’s spirits when she saw how happy she looked. Nodding, she followed Reny to the ancient city.
Melanie had been to the ancient city before. She even bought Stephen a wood carving from here as a gift.
Reny led the way with a phone in hand as she looked for a viral newly-opened eatery. It was a place that specialized in rustic cuisine.
There were many people in the eatery, and the flavors were distinct. The food leaned toward sour and consisted of a lot of vegetarian dishes, which suited Melanie's current taste preferences. She ate quite a bit.
