The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 549

Chapter 549

It took a while for the nausea to dissipate. Melanie looked up, her face pale.

Xander handed her a tissue and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Melanie shook her head and did not say anything. She did not know why, but she suddenly felt uneasy. She put her hand on her chest, trying to still her flustered heart.

After that, she was no longer in the mood for a race.

Seeing her distracted expression, Xander put down the helmet he was holding and said in a low voice, “We can come back another day. You should head back and rest first.”

Melanie raised her hand to touch her forehead and nodded. “Maybe I did catch a cold when the

seasons changed.”

On the way back, Melanie did not feel nauseous anymore. She rested for a while and convinced herself

that she had caught a cold. That was why she felt unwell.

As soon as she got back, she said goodbye to Xander and went back to her room to rest.

Downstairs, Yvonne was sitting in the living room. After Melanie walked past her as if she had not noticed her, she asked Xander, “What’s wrong with her?”

“She isn’t feeling too well,” Xander asked Yvonne. “What brings you here?”

Yvonne pouted. “What do you make it sound like I don’t belong here? You didn’t even tell me that Liana was injured. Xander, am I stranger to you?”

Xander gave her a sideways look.

Yvonne paused for a moment and sighed. “Fine, your father came to visit my father. I heard him say that he really wants you to go home…

“My father and I both think that you should put those things aside for now and at least stake your claim on the family assets back first. Do you really want Xavier to inherit everything? That kid doesn’t

deserve it!”

Honestly, Yvonne would not want to get involved in the Solomons’ mess either if she was in Xander’s shoes. Still, the family fortune was too much for Xander to just give up like that.

Yvonne was sincerely trying to convince him, but Xander only said calmly, “If he actually manages to get his hands on everything, I’ll salute him for it.”

Yvonne’s mouth twitched. She changed the words she had been about to say at the very last minute. ” I’m serious about this, Xander. If you don’t prove yourself with something, how can you confidently say you’ll win Melanie’s hand? Don’t forget, she used to date Eugene Scott.

“He’s a scumbag, but he’s rich!”

Xander’s eyes darkened for a moment. He looked upstairs and did not say anything.

Yvonne said sarcastically, “Don’t think that I can’t tell. You’ve never cared so much about any woman before. I used to think that you swung the other way…”

“How am I supposed to win her hand?” Xander cut in before Yvonne could finish.

She stopped abruptly, while he continued in a cold and sullen voice, “Don’t forget, I’m the son of a lunatic. Who would ever accept me?”

Yvonne suddenly lost the wind in her sails. She muttered softly, “Don’t say that.”

However, her words were powerless.

The Solomons’ situation was complicated, and Xander’s mother’s illness was congenital. In other words, it ran in the family.

Liana was lucky to have met Yury, but it was hard to say that most people would not mind.

After a while, Melanie woke up from her nap upstairs, feeling a little better. She had just gotten up when she received a call from the office in the north side of the city asking her to go back and deal with some maintenance problems.

Melanie had not been up north for some time since her grandfather’s death. She got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs to see Yvonne and Xander chatting in the living room.

She greeted them. Before she could leave, however, Yvonne called out to her. ‘I’ll come with you. It just so happens that I’m headed to the country club nearby.”

She had driven here, so she dropped Melanie off at the entrance of the neighborhood before joining

her.
