The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2156

Lucas got even more annoyed when Melody did not refute his words at all. She really thought he went out fooling around.

"Huh! Is that what you think of me? Melody, you really have a vivid imagination."

He went to all the trouble to gather evidence for her, but in the end, she still thought he was fooling around. Anyone would be upset at being falsely accused like that.

"I have nothing to say if you insist on thinking like that!"

Melody did not understand why Lucas could pretend to be so innocent.

'He clearly went on a date with Stella. Heck, he even went to her house, yet here he is, talking to me as if nothing had happened. Why can't I be as indifferent as him?' thought Melody. Lucas, seeing that she did not seem interested in having a proper conversation, became even more infuriated.

He yanked off his tie and threw it on the ground, then turned and headed to the study.

"I'm sleeping in the study tonight!"

He was so angry that he did not even want to see Melody. Confronting her would only fuel his rage, and he did not want to say something irreversible.

He was not afraid of arguing with Melody. After all, he had not done anything wrong, and Melody should not just slap a big accusation on him like that.

However, he was afraid of Melody's attitude. She refused to listen to reason, nor did she want to say anything to him. She seemed to have no desire whatsoever to know the truth.

It was as if Lucas was just a stranger to her, and everything he said had nothing to do with her.

After he left, Melody hugged her legs sadly and curled up in a way that gave her a sense of security.

Anger welled inside her again the more she thought about the whole thing.

'What right does he have to be angry about? He's the one who lied to me in the first place, and yet I'm the one getting scolded!'

Melody laid in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She would see Stella's message in her mind every time she closed her eyes. She could even imagine the smug expression on Stella's face when sending those messages. Annoyed, she grabbed Lucas' pillow and fiercely punched it several times.

"Take that! And that! I'll teach you a lesson for lying to me!"

Melody tossed and turned the whole night. She did not sleep a wink at all.

The next morning, there were two huge dark circles under her eyes when she woke up. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Before going downstairs, Melody waited for a while as she was afraid of running into Lucas. To her surprise, he had gone to the office early as if deliberately avoiding her.

"Oh dear. Melody, did you not sleep well last night? Both you and Lucas have dark circles that are bigger than a panda's! What happened?"

Melody shook her head, not wanting to burden the two elderly people with all their problems.

"It's nothing. I didn't sleep well because I had a nightmare. No big deal."

Beatrice, full of concern, brought Melody a bowl of oatmeal.

"Come, have something good to replenish yourself. You're still young, so you'll be all good in no time. It's different when you reach my age. No matter how much I eat, I still feel so weak, so you must cherish your good health now."

The housekeeper excelled at making comfort food, and the oatmeal suited Melody's taste. She ate a full bowl and a half before putting the spoon down.

"Is there anything going on at the film set today? If not, can you accompany me to the garden to see the newly planted roses?" asked Beatrice.
