Chapter 778 The evening sky was still not completely dark yet, and the distant sunset looked beautiful, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Just as Melanie let out a shallow breath, she heard someone speak behind her, * Madam Stella, the environment here is nice, and the hot springs are all natural.” Reny reacted quickly, whispering, “Speople really don’t give up easily.” Evelyn and Stella approached them from behind. Cedric was nowhere to be seen, but Eugene's tall figure was following behind them.

They would have to have their IDs checked ahead as the hot springs were on a reservation basis. Only a limited number of guests were accommodated each day. Hence, the inspection was thorough and everyone had to wait in place.

Eugene stopped not far away. His gaze lingered briefly on Melanie before he quickly looked away. Melanie remained oblivious to this but not Evelyn.

She chuckled lightly and then turned to Eugene, saying, “My mom really likes Crane Mountain. She even mentioned having our engagement party here. Eugene, what do you think?” Her voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for everyone nearby to hear her. Her tone was normal, however.

It was as if she was just genuinely seeking Eugene’s opinion.

The already quiet place grew even quieter as Evelyn awaited Eugene’s response. Eugene's gaze toward her was stern and warning. [x] “Let's go,” a gentle voice beside them spoke up.

Suddenly, Evelyn screamed beside her. The squirrel that Melanie had just avoided leaped toward Chapter 77A Evelyn's feet, startling her and causing her face to pale.

The tremor lasted for about ten seconds. The squirrels and birds inhabiting the previously quiet bamboo forest suddenly becrestless as their chatter and chirps filled the air.

Melanie did not need to turn around to know who was behind her. She was all too familiar with Eugene’s scent.

She still felt shaken after everything had settled down. Reny was also quite frightened. She was crouched on the ground, unable to get up.

“It's okay,” a low, heavy voice sounded above Melanie's head. Melanie was taken aback and was about to lift her head when she heard Stella’s sharp voice.

“Evie, are you okay?!” Evelyn's face showed fear, but she shook her head nonetheless. “Madam Stella, I'm fine.” 212 Stella’s gaze immediately turned toward Eugene, who was still protecting Melanie. Her expression darkened.

She looked like she was about to say something, but Evelyn pulled her aside and tactfully said, Madam Stella, have you forgotten? Melanie is pregnant and can’t get startled. Besides...” ET She lowered her gaze slightly, concealing the coldness in her eyes while her voice remained gentle. “I asked my friend in Jepton about them this afternoon. | know they used to be together.” Evelyn smiled and said as if she took it lightly, “So, it's only natural for Eugene to protect her.”
