The Unfaithful Mr. Scott ( Melanie Smith )
Chapter 735

Chapter 735 

1/2 

Candy looked at Melanie innocently and spoke in a crystal clear voice that everyone could hear. 

Melanie paused. She hesitated about telling Candy about Eugene not being her boyfriend. Candy was still very young. It would be weird for Melanie to explain the situation seriously to a little girl. 

Jackson’s assistant walked out of the office a few seconds after Candy said that. 

“Mr. Lowe is waiting inside for you.” 

Candy held Melanie’s hand and smiled adorably. “I’ll walk you in, Melanie.” 

She even took care to glance at Eugene. Eugene sensed Candy looking at him and returned the stare with indifference. He threw a distant and cold look at her. 

Jackson had gone through all of the files given to him, which was why he had requested his assistant to contact Eugene. 

Even he was a little worried because of what Harvey had done before. 

Jackson said in a deep voice, “I’ve gone through all of LeapCo’s files. Even though there are certain aspects that don’t meet Redwaves‘ criteria, you have provided a proposal with countermeasures that address them. This is enough for Redwaves to accept LeapCo for the tender.” 

He was being courteous about the situation, and Melanie and Eugene understood that well. They followed Jackson’s lead in the conversation and allowed him to resolve the situation on his terms. 

Both parties did not mention Harvey throughout their discussion. The meeting went well. 

This issue had finally come to an end. A portion of Melanie’s burden had been lifted. 

The other portion of the burden would come if they won the tender. 

Candy walked them out when they were about to leave. 

She skipped next to Melanie. “When will you see my dad again, Melanie?” 

Melanie asked, “Why? Do you need anything from me?” 

“No. I just feel close to you, like you’re my sister,” Candy said. 

Candy had been especially affectionate toward Melanie. This might be because she had chatted with Melanie the night before via text. 

Melanie had no idea how to react to Candy. Melanie had always been an only child, and none of her relatives had children at home. That was why she had no idea how to get along with children. 

She gave this some thought and asked Candy, “Were the lemon drops I gave you delicious?” 

“They were!” Candy nodded vigorously. She asked, “Is your boyfriend the one who bought them for you?”

Candy asked sincerely, “Is he being fierce to me because you gave me the lemon drops he bought for you?” 

She sounded serious. 

Melanie covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing. 

She looked down at Candy. “Someone else gave them to me. My relationship with that man is not what you think it is. He’s not my boyfriend.” 

Melanie was referring to Eugene. 

Candy nodded like she understood what Melanie was saying. She asked curiously, “Then why is he always staring at you? It’s like Lucky when he sees his dog food. He’ll keep staring at it too. 

“Uncle Jacob says that only Dad would look at Mom that way.”  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Melanie had no idea how to answer the innocent Candy. 

She looked at Eugene. It was just like what Candy said. He was staring at her, and Melanie immediately met his gaze. 

Eugene looked away very quickly. He said calmly, “Let’s go.” 

Candy stood where she was as she watched the car sped off. She mumbled, “He’s exactly like Lucky.” 

Melanie did not think much of what Candy said about Lucky. It was just innocent words from a child. 

After all, whenever Candy met her, she was always with Eugene because of work. There was not much reason to explain too much to Candy. 

Compared to this, it was much more important for Melanie to rush back to Jepton.
