The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2057

Beatrice's words were obviously intended for Stella. After all, she knew Lucas the best. He would not have waited until then if he had feelings for Stella. The two have known each other for a long time, and Lucas had always been indifferent to Stella. In fact, he did not like her at all.

Unfortunately, Stella was too deep in her delusion. Thus, Beatrice had it in her mind that she would make it clear to her that she would never allow her to marry into the family.

After casting a seemingly benevolent glance at Stella, Beatrice led Melody away protectively.

Stella discreetly glanced at the old lady and Melody's retreating figures before inviting Lucas to sit on the sofa with her.

Even though Lucas grunted in agreement, he chose not to sit next to her. Instead, he settled on a nearby armchair.

Stella felt a bit unhappy, but it did not matter. They were the only two in the living room, so what difference did it make if they were seated far apart?

'Finally, we're the only ones here! As long as I bring up the experiences we've shared in the past, it'll surely rekindle Lucas' affection for me. Who cares about Melody? Lucas and I are meant for each other!' thought Stella.

With that in mind, Stella sweetly said, "Lucas, do you remember the first time we met when we were kids..." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Mister Lucas, this document needs urgent attention, and we need you to review it personally."

Edmund suddenly appeared. He swiftly strode over to Lucas as if Stella was invisible, handed him the iPad in his hand, and interrupted Stella's attempt to reminisce about the past. "Excuse me," said Lucas simply to Stella.

Stella immediately nodded with a smile. "I know you're busy with work. Go ahead, I won't..."

"Miss Stella, please be quiet-now."

Edmund once again stopped Stella from continuing her nonsense. Moreover, he was quite blunt in the way he handled her.

Stella's expression turned extremely unpleasant. 'He's just a subordinate. How dare he interrupt me? Hmph! He'll be the first thing I get rid of once I become Lucas' wife.' Unfortunately, she did not realize that Edmund would have never dared to disrespect her unless he had Lucas' tacit approval. After all, Edmund had always been respectful to Melody.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen.

"Melody, do you think roasting the chicken or making it into soup would be better?"

Beatrice did not really ask Melody to come in and help with the cooking; the Riveras could certainly afford to hire servants and cooks.
