The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 262
Melanie nodded. âI know. I donât plan to move in immediately.â
The wires in the old residence were old, and they posed quite a few safety hazards. She had to get someone to replace them.
Melanie had considered renting a new house but did not want to adapt to a new environment. Ãt was better to stay in her hometown and not worry about being chased out of her home again.
She looked at Xander and said, âI might want to stay for some time before leaving. You can leave first if youâre busy.â
However, Xander said, âItâs okay. I have nothing arranged for today.â
Then, he entered the house. âThe wires are old and rusty. Whereâs the electric control panel?â âYou know how to repair this?â
âYes. Iâve done this before.â Melanie noticed Xander was straightforward and always spoke straight to the point.
She took Xander to the electric control panel and let him deal with it. Meanwhile, she went to the nearest convenience store to get some cleaning tools to clean the place.
It was not easy to clean a house that had been left empty for years.
It took Melanie some time to clean just the table.
Fortunately, the water was still working, and she could use it.
When her phone rang, Xander happened to enter the house.
Melanie put down her cleaning tools and wiped her hands before answering the call.
âMel, where are you?â It was Yvonne, and she sounded joyful.
Melanie froze, but she said frankly, âIn the north of the city.â
âWhy are you there? Itâs so far away.â Yvonne seemed displeased. She muttered, âI wanted to ask you to pick me up. I drank some wine and canât drive home.â
As Yvonne muttered, Melanie could hear chuckles and chatters beside her.
Yvonne was a lovely person, after all. Melanie forced herself not to frown and asked, âWhere are you?â
âButterfly Club.â
Melanie knew Butterfly Club. It was a new bar and was famous online.
However, it was unsafe for Yvonne to drink alone at the bar. She told Xander about it, and his forehead creased.
When Melanie and Xander arrived at Butterfly Club, they saw Yvonne at the bar. There were two
en in front of her.
Yvonne seemed to be talking to them as she chuckled. Her legs, adorned with high heels, swayed as she spoke. She seemed to be trying to stop them from getting too close to her.

Melanie called out, âYvonne.â
When Yvonne heard her voice, her smile turned into a genuine one as she said to the two men, âIâm sorry. Please excuse me. My friend is here. Letâs talk some other day if we happen to meet again.â
The men looked at each other and left disappointedly.
Yvonne looked at them, and her smile faded. Then, she complained to Melanie and Xander, â Those guys are disgusting. Theyâre so annoying. If I werenât alone, I wouldnât have had to stall them by talking so much.

Yvonne complained as she got off the tall chair.
She landed lightly as if she was not wearing a pair of high heels.
Melanie was afraid she might fall and tried to help her. However, Yvonne staggered and turned around suddenly, staring at Melanie and Xander for a while before asking, âBe frank with me. Were you guys on a date just now?â
Just as she spoke, a few people walked in.
Simonâs playful voice sounded. âEugene, today is my birthday, and I waited for you to be back to celebrate it. Iâll be mad if you refuse to celebrate with me.â
âI didnât ask you to wait.â Eugeneâs voice was as indifferent as ever.
âHow could you say that? Weâre best friends, yet youâre so cold to me. Why did you go to Hearth City, by the way?â
