Chapter 577
Eugene’s direct words brought an immediate silence to the car. Melanie’s gaze quivered, and she tamped down on her thoughts
to answer, “Why are you asking this?”
Eugene’s dark, obsidian eyes gazed at her intensely, as if he could see through all her lies. “Just answer me,” he said evenly.
Melanie refused, lifting her face and questioning Eugene with a hesitant tone, “Do you enjoy prying into others‘ private lives?”
The torrential rain and wind pounded on the car, occasionally accompanied by flashes of lightning. Eugene’s voice was cold as if
sweeping over Melanie’s heart akin to the storm outside.
“I just want to confirm one thing.”
“What thing?”
Eugene’s expression remained unchanged; his eyes were deep and contemplative as he looked at Melanie. “You’ve always
been good at deceiving people.”
Melanie’s heart skipped a beat as she almost instantly got what he was implying. He still suspected that the child was his. That
was why he asked if she had been with Xander. He was just testing her.
Melanie forgot one thing – while she considered herself knowledgeable about Eugene, Eugene also knew her equally well. She

lowered her gaze but could feel Eugene’s gaze still firmly fixed on her.
In almost an instant response, she raised her head and looked directly at Eugene, candid and fearless, “Why do you think I’ve
been with Xander? And even if I have, what does it matter? Adults have their

needs.”
Eugene looked at her. “Of course, they do.”
Melanie’s eyebrows twitched slightly, her expression cold, “Then I hope you won’t ask such intrusive questions again.”
Eugene’s expression remained unchanged, and he said nothing. The two returned to the hotel in silence. Melanie went to the
front desk to get the room key and then headed back to her room. It was only after locking the door that the composure on her
face shattered.
Once suspicious of something, Eugene would insist on getting to the bottom of it. Exhausted, Melanie sat on the sofa, still
figuring out how she would handle things if Eugene insisted on finding an answer.
She wanted this child, but Eugene... she did not want any further connection with him. Melanie sat on the sofa, pondering for a
while before picking up her phone and sending a message to Yvonne. Yvonne replied quickly, saying she would take care of
everything.
Although Melanie felt a bit reluctant, she had no other choice. Moreover, she was tired from the flight, so she simply washed up
and went to sleep. It was still raining when she woke up the next morning.

Melanie had originally planned to organize her documents at the hotel today. She called room service and had her meals
delivered. It was not until evening when Xander called that she stopped working.
“Is it still raining outside?” he asked.

“Looks like it lessened a bit, but it hasn’t stopped,” Melanie sighed. “Honestly, it’s my first time experiencing a typhoon. I’ve never
encountered one before.”
Xander chuckled softly. “Typhoons are not fun. Be careful at the hotel, stay safe.”
Melanie acknowledged his concern and took the opportunity to ask Xander about several professional issues she had
encountered today. She wanted to ask more, but Xander interrupted, dinner?”
“Have
you had
She had not.
Dinner had just been delivered when Xander called. Melanie, who had been focused on her work, now realized that the food had
turned cold.
“If the food is cold, ask them to bring you another one,” Xander casually reminded her in a confident
manner.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Melanie nodded. Xander shook his head, reminded her to take care of herself, and then hung up, not
wanting to disturb her dinner.
