The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2125

It was just because that person was Lucas.

Melody clutched her heart, realizing that her thoughts were becoming increasingly dangerous.

"How could someone like me who came from a messy family be worthy of you? Besides, you've always treated me as just an actress from the beginning to the end." Melody smiled bitterly. "How can I ever like someone else in the future after meeting someone like you? You're really evil, do you know that?"

As if determined, she stuck out her tongue. "I'm sorry. You haven't done anything wrong. It's me who shouldn't have fantasized. I'll stop that from now. I'll try hard to draw clear boundaries between us, and I promise I won't make things difficult for you anymore."

Melody was well aware that the only way out for her and Lucas was for her to forget the feelings she should not have. Their relationship was destined to end badly if she continued harboring those feelings. However, her heart started aching when she thought about parting ways with Lucas in the future. Thus, it would be better for her to let go of those feelings.

After sorting out her thoughts, Melody fetched a thin blanket and laid down on the sofa.

Unfortunately, figuring things out and putting them into action were two different matters. Melody tossed and turned on the sofa, closing her eyes but unable to fall asleep.

Her heart was telling her that she should stop lying to herself.

"He doesn't like you, and you're not worthy of him. Aren't these reasons enough for you to give up?" Melody convinced herself, persuading her restless heart.

It was almost dawn by the time she managed to fall asleep.

The next day, Melody woke up to find that the sensation underneath her was different. She did not know when she had ended up in the bed; she distinctly remembered falling asleep on the sofa last night. Lucas, who had been sleeping in the bed, was nowhere to be found. Melody sighed and got up to go downstairs.

Beatrice and Cedric were already seated at the dining table. Upon seeing Melody, Beatrice warmly greeted her.

Beatrice's smile was even more pronounced after having witnessed Melody being pressed down by Lucas the day before, and seeing Melody waking up the following morning. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Melody was aware that Lucas had intentionally let his grandmother misunderstand, so she decided not to explain any further.

"Good morning, Grandma, Grandpa!"

"Good morning, Melody! Come, have some breakfast with us. Don't learn from that boy, Lucas. I had to force him to drink a glass of almond milk before he left this morning. He really should stop his bad habit of drinking only coffee for breakfast. It's bad for his stomach, you know."

Melody smiled in response to Beatrice's concern for Lucas.

"He drinks the coffee because it helps energize him. I've prepared some snacks for him in the office. He'll eat when he's hungry," explained Melody.

Cedric nodded. "You young people understand each other better. He always complains that having breakfast at home takes too much time."

"He's the president of the company, so he should learn how to manage his time better! All that, and he doesn't even have time to sit down for a meal at home," Beatrice grumbled as she placed a crab croissant on Melody's plate.

"I noticed you liked these last time, so I had the cook make them again. The crabs are in season now and air-flown from overseas. Have a taste," Beatrice said.

Melody smiled gratefully. Regardless of everything, the old couple genuinely cared for her. She only hoped to peacefully step out of this relationship once Lucas found his true love.
