The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2245

Exasperated by Sherman's statement, Melody called out to him. "Sherman!"

He was seemingly describing their pure friendship to be more than that, which it was not.

Lucas' growing anger was fueled even more after Melody called out to Sherman. He suppressed his frustration and instructed Sherman to leave.

As soon as Sherman heard the pleading tone in Melody's voice, he glanced at her to try and comfort her but soon realized that she had directed her gaze elsewhere. He could only sigh bitterly in the end. "Okay, I got the message. You should rest. I'll come by to visit y-"

Lucas slammed the door shut before Sherman could finish. Lucas did not pay any attention to Melody on the hospital bed. Instead, he continued unpacking with an icy air to him. His displeasure was evident to anyone who witnessed it.

"Were you home? Did you water the two pots on the windowsill? Have you brought my favorite pair of pajamas?" Melody struggled to engage Lucas in conversation. She was trying her best to try and quell his anger.

Though she looked forward to Lucas' company, Melody found herself feeling helpless after that unexpected episode.

Lucas was still angry as Melody did not reveal what had transpired between Sherman and Melody during his absence. He wondered when Melody and Sherman became that close and how Sherman found out where Melody's ward was.

When Melody fell asleep, Lucas vowed to investigate the incident personally. He sensed that things were not as it seemed. Melody's memories were hazy, and she believed the incident was because she had gotten entangled in some seaweed or perhaps a psychological fear that prevented her from surfacing to breathe. Despite her uncertainty, Lucas suspected that there was more to the story.

"What took you so long? Didn't you tell Patty that you'd be back in an hour?" Melody asked in a gloomy tone, prompting Lucas to turn.

"Don't you have Sherman with you? Why do you still need me?" Lucas retorted, leaving Melody stunned.

"I didn't know he'd find out that I was here! I never told him I was in the hospital!"

"You don't need to explain it to me. You enjoyed your time with him, didn't you?" Lucas' tone suggested that he was jealous, which made Melody uncomfortable. She felt as though he was suspecting her of having covert meetings with Sherman.

"Sherman and I have a normal relationship. We have never, and will never have, an inappropriate relationship," Melody retorted stiffly.

Lucas had already finished unpacking. "Then can you explain why he said those words?" He asked, turning around to look at Melody.

"How would I know? I have no control over him, and all I can say is that he's a friend of mine. Nothing less, nothing more!" Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Melody felt that Lucas' accusation was unfair, considering his own involvement with Thalia.

"A friend? Tch. He obviously wants to be your boyfriend!" Lucas snorted coldly.
