The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2285

'Why does this old lady insist on coming between Lucas and me? I'm the one who knew him before Melody did! And he promised my sister that he'll take care of me forever!' thought Thalia. However, in these years, she and Lucas had spent little time together. Lucas' career was in the country, and it was not possible for him to spend so much time with her.

Moreover, Lucas was a simple-minded man. He only took care of Thalia because of the promise he had made to her sister. Thus, the only advantage Thalia had over Melody was that she knew Lucas way earlier than her.

Nonetheless, Thalia was not willing to accept that fact. There should be a sequence between them.

'I've known him for so many years before that woman, so why does she get to be with Lucas? Even Grandma Beatrice has accepted Melody as her granddaughter-in-law! Just what kind of magic spell did Melody put on that old woman to make her speak so highly of her?'

At that moment, Cedric also slowly walked over to them. He stood with his hands behind his back while gazing at Lucas disapprovingly.

"You're going to the hospital to take care of Melody, not for fun. So how can you bring Thalia there? Where's your common sense, boy?"

Lucas rubbed the bridge of his nose somewhat sheepishly when faced with the dual pressure from Beatrice and Cedric. He only said what he said because he did not really think much about it.

He thought that he might as well take Thalia to the hospital with him to lessen her boredom since he did not have the time to take her anywhere else for fun.

Thalia naturally had to pretend to be considerate in front of Beatrice and Cedric. Thus, she said understandingly to Lucas. "Lucas, you don't need to worry about me. I still need some time to get over the jetlag anyway since I've just arrived.

"Who knows? Maybe Melody will already be discharged by the time I've adjusted to the time here. Then, we can all go out together and have fun, right?"

She then smiled at Beatrice and Cedric. "Besides, I'm a quiet person by nature and don't like to run around. Resting at home is just perfect! I can spend more time with Grandpa and Grandma. Also, that way you can have peace of mind while you're in the hospital, right?"

Regardless of whether Thalia's words were sincere, Beatrice smiled satisfiedly and patted her hand. "I'm glad you can think that way. I'm sorry my husband and I can't take you out since we're getting on with age. So let's wait until Melody comes back, and then she and Lucas can take you out, okay?"

Thalia chuckled drily. "Okay..." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Without thinking much, Lucas hurriedly instructed Lynette to prepare Melody's favorite meals three times a day. Since they had already wasted a lot of time, he asked them to wait at home while he went back to the hospital.

After Lucas left, Thalia immediately said she wanted to go back to her room to rest.

Beatrice's smile had also faded by then. 'Only that foolish grandson of mine thinks Thalia is innocent. I'm pretty sure it'll be a different story in Melody's eyes.'

Seeing Beatrice looking worried, Cedric was compelled to comfort her.

"Maybe you're overthinking a little? Maybe Thalia doesn't like Lucas in the way you think she does. I know Lucas is quite the outstanding man, but..."

Beatrice rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't you see how she tried to act cute with Lucas just now before we came down? Doesn't she know that Lucas is already married? What she's doing is inappropriate.

"I've already told him back then that he could repay Thalia's family for their sacrifice, but he shouldn't have to sacrifice his own marriage. Now, things are a mess between Lucas and that girl. Who knows, she might even think that Lucas has feelings for her because of his actions."

"Sigh! You're right. Thalia's actions are quite inappropriate now that Lucas and Melody are already married."
