Novel Drama Chapter 890
Chapter 890
Melanie was feeding Meredith some milk when she replied, “We got home this morning.”
“Was it because of the weather?”
“Yeah. It was inconvenient because of the rain.”
Xander laughed. “It’s a good thing. I was worried if you would catch a cold in that weather.”
When Melanie heard the concern in his voice, she said in a close whisper, “I won’t catch a cold that easily.”
There was a creak at the door the moment she said this. Melanie looked up and saw Eugene staring at her from the door with a glass in his hand.
Melanie frowned. Eugene’s gaze fell onto her phone, and he said slowly, “I’ve heated up a glass of milk for you. Have it before you go to sleep.”
She paused, and Xander asked over the phone, “Do you still have colleagues over at your house at this hour?”
Melanie stared at Eugene as she gave a vague explanation to Xander before hanging up.
When she looked back up at Eugene, there was an unhappy look on her face. “Who told
you you c
u you could come out here? I’ve said before that you shouldn’t be in the living room for
no reason.

She was about to get up and close the door when Eugene passed the glass over to her. He looked down and sounded exhausted. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were on the phone. I just thought some milk would help you go to sleep since you’ve had a tiring day.”
He pushed the glass in front of Melanie and pressed his lips together. “I was just trying
to be nice.”
Melanie looked at the glass of milk and raised her head. She immediately met Eugene’s burning eyes.
She reached out to take the glass from him but did not drink from it. She looked at Eugene. “I’ve told you before not to get near Merry.”
Eugene said, “I’ll leave after you finish the milk.”

Melanie looked at the glass in her hand and closed her eyes. She walked toward the kitchen and poured the milk into the sink without hesitation.
The white liquid flowed down the pipes. Melanie turned on the tap to wash the glass silently.
She looked at Eugene after she was done. “You don’t need to do unnecessary things for me. It’s a waste of time. I won’t drink it.”
Eugene was stunned. He watched as Melanie did all this without hesitation, and a pained look flashed across his face. There was bitterness and sorrow in his eyes.
However, he got a hold of himself quickly as he forced himself to nod and say, “Alright. I won’t do anything like this again.”
Melanie turned to return to her room, but when she walked past Eugene, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.
His hand was trembling. His thumb and index finger gently caressed the side of her wrist. He asked Melanie, “Are you engaged to Xander Solomon?”
Eugene did not realize that he sounded afraid when he asked the question. He could not forget that photo.
Melanie was smiling very happily in that photo. She and Xander looked very close.
Even though Shani had told him about Xander, he still wanted to hear the answer from
Melanie.
Eugene refused to let go of her wrist. He asked again, “I need to know. Are you and Xander Solomon together now?” novelbin
The look in Melanie’s eyes was calm. “What does it matter if we are?”
Eugene’s grip on her got tighter. It hurt Melanie slightly.
He stared at Melanie and said slowly, “If you’re together, break up with him. If you’re married, divorce him. But… you probably won’t do that, will you?”
