Xander retracted his hand after helping Melanie with the coat. His expression became serious again,
and his sightly in the wind
flapped
All Melanie could smell was Xander’s peppermint lemon scent. It was light and mild, but it was a comfy
cologne.
She had wanted to return the coat to Xander, but before she could do so, a silver sports car stopped
beside her.
It was followed by a black Maybach.
Melanie paused when she saw the Maybach’s license plate..
The next second, the door of the sports car opened. Simon got out wearing a floral shirt. He casually
took off his sunglasses and threw them into the car before turning to look at Melanie and her company.

Xander’s eyes were cold. “Simon Quinland,
“I’ve been close to your brother Xavier recently. I’ve heard a lot about you,” Simon said flippantly.
“You’re very courageous. I’m impressed.”
His words always had a hint of mockery in them that made the listener uncomfortable.
“But “Simon’s tone changed again. He glanced at Melanie and sneered. “You don’t have good taste in
women. You should learn from your brother.”
Melanie and Simon did not get along. The moment she saw him, she never expected him to say
anything nice.
She tugged at her coat and said calmly, “Simon, have you been missing your hospital appointments
again recently?”
She said lightly, “I think your mental capacity seems to have worsened.”
Simon’s face hardened. “You little-”
Before he could finish, the door of the Maybach beside him opened. Eugene, dressed in a dark suit, got
out of the car.
The well–tailored suit wrapped around his slender body. His broad shoulders and narrow waist made
him look tall and sophisticated.
However, his eyes were cold and dark. He gazed evenly at Melanie, who did not flinch. She met his
gaze squarely.
Their eyes met and collided with some unspeakable emotion. Their gazes were burning, and neither of
them gave in to the other.
“Eugene.” Simon’s carefree drawl broke the silence. He said in a huff, “I should have left the house a
few minutes later. Tsk, now my mood is all ruined.”

his side. He protected her with one hand and said softly, “Warhout.”
There was a small pothole not far ahead of Madanie. If it had not been for Zander, the would have
tripped on it.
Xander’s hand was still wrapped around her waist. Melanie’s heart was beating a little fer She took a
moment to calm down before saying tersely, “Thank you”
Xander was silent for a moment before retracting his hand. “I’m sorry. I didn’t call out to you just now
because I was afraid that you would panic and trip That’s why I pulled you back”
As soon as he finished speaking, Oliver teased him from behind. “Poss, you’re acting like the perfect
boyfriend. Why didn’t you catch me when I was about to fall?”
Xander shot him a cold look, and Oliver shut up.
