Viola could feel her brain explode when she met his eyes. Her throat was dry when she asked, are you doing here, Mr. Grant?” “What
“| thought something happened to you when you didn’t show up, so | came out here to take a look.”
Harvey reached out to hold Viola’s hand. “It’s cold outside, and you're wearing so little on you. It’s warmer inside the room.”
The room was indeed much warmer. The dampness on Eugene seemed to disappear. A look flashed in his eyes when Eugene saw that the food on the table had not been touched.
“You should have some before it turns cold,” Melanie said. Eugene turned to stare at Melanie’s face. He said nothing, but the look in his eyes was clear. Melanie paused before saying, “I’m not hungry.”
It was true that she was not hungry. She did not have any appetite. When her surroundings suddenly turned quiet, the emotions she had been holding back began to show.
To be honest, it would be a lie if she said that she was not affected by Howard's attitude toward her. Melanie was just not willing to show her emotions to others.
The frustration she felt made her lose her appetite as her mind was a complete mess.
Melanie felt that she had to find something to do and force herself to be distracted.
She picked up the document she had just put down. Before she could flip through it, someone took the document away from her.
Eugene stood in front of her as he looked down. He bent over slightly and said in an unfathomable tone, “What can you solve by not eating anything?
“Are you trying to show that you care a lot about Howard Smith, or are you just being irresponsible for your health?”
Melanie was sitting on the couch, and she looked up to meet his eyes. There was an unhappy look in her eyes. She leaned back slightly to keep a safe distance from Eugene. “I just don’t have any appetite. | don’t think it’s any of your business.”
Eugene stared back at her. Melanie felt uncomfortable with his stare and bit her lip while tilting her head to the side. She said, “You can pack the food and take it with you. I’m going to take a rest.”
She was hinting at him to leave.
Eugene slowly looked away from her eyes and observed Melanie before saying, “Grandpa called me and told me to watch you take dinner.”

Melanie paused. This sounded like something Henry would say.
She could not reject Henry’s wish. Melanie said nothing and forced herself to eat something. Even though it was not much, Eugene did not say anything more.
Eugene seemed to take Henry’s instructions seriously as he left only after Melanie was done eating.
Before he left, Melanie accidentally glimpsed his phone when it lit up. Amessage had popped up. The icon was an adorable bunny head, and Melanie recognized it instantly as Viola.
Eugene lowered his eyes, and he obviously saw the message.
He subtly picked up the phone and turned to leave.
Melanie watched as he walked out the door. She suddenly felt disgusted and almost threw up everything she ate.
Eugene was still in contact with Viola. How did he do it? How did he manage to keep a straight face and accompany her for dinner when he was still with Viola?
He knew the relationship between her and Viola. Did he forget that Viola had instigated George to cause harm to her grandfather?
Melanie sat deep in thought but suddenly realized that it was not because Eugene had forgotten about it. He knew about it very well but had chosen to defend Viola, which was why she still roamed free.
