Henry''s tone wasmanding, and Eugene’s gaze turned stormy. He paused and exined, ” I’m still very busy. | don’t want to
waste time.”
“Is breakfast a waste of time to you?” Henry asked with a sullen expression on his wizened face.
Mnie washed her hands and sat down at the dining table. She lowered her head and helped Landon with the cutlery.
She had no right to intervene between Henry and Eugene.
Besides, it would be inappropriate for her to say anything.
The fatigue on Eugene’s face did not seem to be fake. He fell silent for a moment before sitting down at the dining table.
Henry''s expression softened slightly. He sat at the head of the table, while Eugene and Mnie sat facing each other on either
side of him.
Henry pushed a cup of tea toward Mnie. “Have some tea. It’s good for your body.”
Mnie nodded. She could really sense his concern for her.
Meanwhile, Eugene sat ignored. He did not say anything and just continued eating silently.
They did not talk much over breakfast. Henry brought up a few topics, but both Eugene and Mnie subtly ended the
conversation before it could get going.
Last night''s rain had not stopped eve now. It had grown lighter in the middle of the night, but now it seemed to be getting heavier
again.
Eugene headed out quickly, looking anxious.
Mnie wanted to leave too, but Henry frowned at the weather outside. “It’s still raining. Why don’t you wait for the sun toe
out before leaving?”
Mnie wanted to refuse, but then Henry sighed.
“Mel, please don’t think that I’m annoying. I’m old, and | don’t know how many years | have left. The person I’m most worried
about is Eugene. He’s stubborn and refuses to take anyone’s advice.”
Mnie lowered her eyes and did not reply.
She understood Henry’s motives foring back over the past few days. He still wanted her and Eugene to get back together.
However, he was still her respected elder, so Mnie could not reject him too heartlessly.
She

doing, so don’t
Henry''s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he sighed and waved his hand. He did not bring up the
topic again.
Mnie stayed until seven in the evening, when the rain began to abate. She then bid Henry
goodbye and prepared to leave.
Henry thought of something and stopped her. “It’s my birthday next Friday. Remember toe visit.”
Mnie paused. Most of the extended Scott family would be attending Henry''s birthday function.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.
She was reluctant to go, but she could say no to Henry’s loving gaze. Mnie nodded.
Before she could leave the house, however, her phone rang.
It was Eugene again.
2/2
Mnie paused slightly with the phone in her hand. He rarely called her since he got together with Vi.
In order not to make Vi jealous, he even reminded Mnie to call his work phone if she really needed to reach him.
Mnie frowned slightly and answered the call.
She said nothing. There was no sound from Eugene’s end, either.
Mnie thought Eugene had identally dialed the wrong number. She was about to hang up when Eugene said in a deep
voice. “Are you still at my grandfather''s ce?”
Mnie said calmly, “I’m leaving right now.”
She thought that Eugene had called to remind her to leave Henry’s ce as soon as possible.
However, Eugene was silent for a moment before saying, “Bring a document to LeapCo for me.
#1
Mnie refused. “I don’t have time.’
“That document is very important. It’s in my room. Send it straight to my office once you find it.” Eugene acted as if he had not
heard her refusal at all. His voice was deep and his tone allowed no arguement.
Mnie frowned at his words. “Mr. Scott, I''m no longer your employee. I’m not obligated to run errands for you.”
Eugene’s voice was cold. “Then get my grandfather to send it to me. This document is very important. | can’t trust outsiders to
bring it.”
