Chapter 806
A tall and upright figure stood next to the car
Melanie changed her steps, walking to the other side. However, she soon heard Eugene’s husky and slightly deep voice. “It’s getting late, and it’s unsafe for you to return alone. I’ll drive you.”
Melanie’s steps did not stop, as if she had not heard him. Eugene softly called out again, “Melanie,”
His actions were quicker than his words. He reached out and grabbed Melanie’s wrist. Only then did he realize how thin Melanie was,
Her wrist was so delicate that he dared not exert any force. It felt as if it would break with the slightest strength exerted on it.
“I—” It was a little dark there, and Melanie could not see the emotions in his eyes. She could only feel the warmth in his palm and the slight trembling as he held her wrist.
Melanie looked back at him. Despite her calm expression, she was a bit annoyed.
Honestly, she did not want to see Eugene at a time like this.
Melanie exerted some force in her hand, pulling her wrist out of Eugene’s grasp.
Eugene felt the tangible feeling in his hand disappear completely like a gust of wind.
Feeling the emptiness in his hand, an inexplicable sense of panic overwhelmed him. He had waited here for a long time, thinking he had a lot to say to Melanie.
However, seeing her in person suppressed all the words deep inside him. His throat felt clogged, and he could not utter a single word.

Melanie’s patience wore thin, and she did not hide her irritability and displeasure. “You’re annoying.”
After a pause, she added, “I didn’t think you were so annoying before. Is this your inherent flaw, enjoying being disliked and shamelessly following me?”
Her words were ruthless; hitting Eugene’s pride. She expected him to be unable to endure such humiliation and spare her from future encounters.
As expected, Eugene’s entire body stiffened, and his expression changed subtly.
Eugene remained frozen for a long time. Melanie withdrew her indifferent gaze and turned to leave. However, as soon as she lifted her foot, he pressed his chest against her from behind. His minty scent enveloped her.
Eugene did not come over to do anything to Melanie. He just really wanted to see her.
However, after seeing Melanie’s genuine disgust and indifference for him, he felt empty inside. His body, quicker than his mind, instinctively embraced Melanie.
The slender and frail body in his arms was cold. When Eugene returned to his senses, he dared not use

too much force, even with her in his embrace.
He was afraid of hurting her.
The familiar faint fragrance from her body made Eugene’s hands uncontrollably tremble.
Although he had tightened the hold around her waist, he loosened it a bit after a moment as if afraid Melanie might feel uncomfortable.
His attempt to please was obvious when he lowered his head, and his cold lips brushed against her earlobe, intending to move lower.
However, he stopped. He sensed the uncontrollable tremor in the person in his arms, and his mind was clear again.
The next moment, he heard Melanie questioning him with a cold and trembling voice, “Eugene, can you please stop disgusting me?”
His heart skipped a beat, and his arm was pushed away.
Melanie left without looking back, taking large strides away. She changed her flight to Oskon City and boarded the plane the next day. She didn’t want to stay in Jepton for another day.
