Harriet looked back and forth between them and gave an excuse so that they could leave.
Fugene’s heart sank, and he slowly turned to look at Merry. His mind had been replaying the scene at the
hospital for the last three days.
He had heard Merry call out ‘Mom’ to Melanie, and Melanie had replied with a gentle tone that he had never
heard before.
That scene kept appearing in his dreams every night. He would see both mother and daughter the minute he
closed his eyes.
It got even crazier as he dreamed of the child calling him ‘Dad’.
Eugene did not enjoy drinking, and he hated alcoholics.
However, he had gotten drunk for the past three days just to hear Merry call him ‘Dad’ in his dreams.

over something that was almost impossible.

| obligated to answer them. We no longer have anything to do with each other, so please stop disturbing my life.
It's getting very annoying.”
Melanie thought this was enough to chase the prideful Eugene away.
However, Eugene did not budge at all. He looked at her silently and said in a low, husky voice after she was done
talking, “Do you have anything to say to me? I'm listening.”

rearview mirror for the third time. She said graciously, “Just ask whatever's on your mind.”
Well I'm just a little curious about you and Eugene Scott...” Harriet sounded slightly apologetic. “‘m really sorry, |
don’t really mean anything. | just... | have a friend who started work at LeapCo last year, which is why I'm
curious about him.
4. Did both of you use to date? He looked really upset just now.”
Harriet was beating about the bush. What she really wanted to ask was if Melanie had dumped Eugene because
he looked too much like he was the one who had been dumped.
Melanie's eyelashes fluttered as she said in a normal tone, “Not really. He just used to be my boss.”
