    Chapter <b>491 </b>


    Henry’s tone wasmanding, and Eugene’s gaze turned <b>stormy</b><b>. </b>He paused and exined, ” I’m still very busy. I don’t want <b>to </b>waste time<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    <b>“</b>Is breakfast a waste <b>of </b>time <b>to </b><b>you</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>Henry asked <b>with </b>a sullen expression on his <b>wizened </b><b>face</b><b>. </b>


    Mnie washed <b>her </b>hands and sat <b>down </b>at the dining table<b>. </b>She lowered <b>her </b>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 <b>on </b>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 <b>of </b>the table<b>, </b>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<b>, </b>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<b>, </b>but both Eugene and Mnie subtly ended the conversation before it could get going.


    Last night’s rain had not stopped eve now. <b>It </b>had grown lighter in the middle of the night, but <b>now </b>it seemed to be getting heavier again.


    Eugene headed <b>out </b>quickly, looking anxious.


    Mnie wanted to leave too, but Henry frowned at the weather <b>outside</b><b>. </b>“It’s still raining. Why don’t you wait for the sun toe out <b>before </b>leaving?”


    Mnie wanted <b>to </b>refuse, <b>but </b>then Henry sighed.


    “Mel<b>, </b>please don’t think that <b>I’m </b>annoying. I’m old, and I don’t know how many years I have left. The person <b>I’m </b>most worried about is Eugene. He’s stubborn and refuses to take anyone’s advice<b>.</b><b>” </b>


    Mnie lowered her eyes and did not <b>reply</b>.


    She understood Henry’s motives foring back over the past few days. <b>He </b>still wanted her and Eugene to <b>get </b>back <b>together</b>.


    However<b>, </b><b>he </b><b>was </b><b>still </b>her respected elder<b>, </b>so Mnie could <b>not </b>reject him <b>too </b>heartlessly.


    She


    I down and said softly, “Eugene is now the <b>CEO </b><b>of </b><b>LeapCo</b>. <b>He </b>knows what he’s


    worry <b>about </b>him. You should <b>focus </b>on taking care of your own health.”


    doing<b>, </b>so <b>don’t </b>


    Henry’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but <b>in </b><b>the </b>end, he sighed and waved his hand. He did <b>not </b>bring up the <b>topic </b>again.


    Mnie stayed until seven in the evening<b>, </b>when the rain began to <b>abate</b>. She then bid Henry


    goodbye and prepared to <b>leave</b>.


    Henry thought <b>of </b>something and stopped her. <b>“</b>It’s my birthday next Friday. Remember toe visit.”


    Mnie paused. Most of the extended Scott family would <b>be </b>attending Henry’s birthday function.


    She was reluctant to go, but she could say no to Henry’s loving gaze. Mnie nodded.


    Before she could leave the house, however<b>, </b>her phone rang.


    It was Eugene again.


    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. I can’t trust outsiders to bring it.”
