Lucas pointed at Stella's cheek but made no attempts to wipe it for her.

Stella reluctantly allowed him to stay in the room while she excused herself to the bathroom.

"Wait here. I'll make some coffee for us once I'm done!" Stella announced as she headed to the kitchen.

Lucas nodded and bided his time until Stella left the room. He began searching as soon as he was done. Time was of the essence, and he had earlier deduced that the closet seemed to be the most likely place for Stella to hide the evidence.

Stella had gone off to check her makeup and see if there were any black marks present. She looked at the makeup on her cheek and thought that perhaps Lucas misunderstood the markings as some dust. Determined to make Lucas hers for the night, she took out her cosmetics and reapplied them.

Aside from the closet, he realized that Stella had a whole room dedicated to her wardrobe. Tucked away in a corner among all the branded luxury clothes that she had were the clothes Melody had worn. Stella probably did not pay attention to putting them away because she was in a rush.

Stella, still oblivious to Lucas' intention, leisurely picked the most expensive packet of coffee beans. In her opinion, only the finest roast was worthy of Lucas' palate. They would soon spend their first night together, so everything had to be perfect.

Stella blushed when she daydreamed about that. Years and years had passed since she met Lucas as a child, and she ultimately won his heart despite the challenges that they faced.

Judging from all that happened that day, Lucas no longer cared about Melody.

She snickered and wondered if Melody could still smile after knowing that Lucas was with her. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With two cups of freshly brewed coffee prepared, Stella returned to her room. "Coffee's ready, Lucas! I made it without sugar, just the way you like it!"

However, her joy turned to confusion as she discovered that Lucas was nowhere to be found.

"Lucas? Where are you? Come out quick! Don't play hide and seek with me," Stella called out as she searched the restroom and her wardrobe for Lucas. He seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

"Lucas? Lucas!" Frustrated, she finished her coffee in one gulp. She did not like the way he left all of a sudden and felt that she had been strung along. All she could think of was that he must have left because of something urgent.

Stella's attempts to reach Lucas' phone went unanswered, as he had already driven home with Melody's clothes on the passenger seat. His eagerness to go home was finally apparent in his expression. He had not disclosed his plan to Melody earlier because he feared that she might get sad if things would not go as planned.
