The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2327

"You're injured. Who'll take care of you on set?" Lucas asked.

Melody was prepared for his question. "My injury isn't very serious. It's just that I can't put pressure on my left ankle. And besides, there's Penny and Monica on the set. They're both very kind and will take care of me."

Melody's tone was calm, and she did not seem inclined to argue with him excessively. In any case, she had decided to leave that day.

Beatrice looked worried. "Melody, don't you want to stay at home? Don't you want to keep me company? Your ankle isn't healed yet, and I'm really worried about you going to the set!" Melody only showed a hint of a smile to Beatrice and patted her hand reassuringly.

"Grandma, it's not that. How could I ever get tired of keeping you company? I just think that living on the set is more convenient. The dormitory is very close, and I'll be living with the other cast, so we can take care of each other. It'll be easier to rehearse with them after work too.

"There's nothing wrong with staying here, but it's just too far. Even with the chauffeur picking me up and dropping me off, it still wastes a lot of my time. It's better to just live in the dormitory and not trouble the driver anymore."

Beatrice also understood that Melody wanting to move out probably had a lot to do with Thalia. Since she had set her mind to it, there was nothing the elderly lady could do but nod. Only Lucas was adamant and refused to let her leave.

However, Melody did not take his objection seriously. She did not need anyone else's approval for her own affairs. Instead, it was Thalia who behaved out of character as she advised her to stay.

"Melody, you're still injured. It might be inconvenient to go to the set. Besides, no matter how close you are with the other cast, they're still just friends. How can they compare to Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Beatrice? Why not stay at home until your injury heals? If you still want to experience living in the dormitory, you can always go later."

Thalia's earnest suggestion surprised Melody a bit, but she just smiled and insisted on her choice.

"Didn't you hear what Thalia said? Do you have to make a fuss about this when you're injured?" Lucas' tone was very stiff, making Melody lose her appetite.

Even Cedric spoke up, "Speak nicely. We're all having breakfast. Why are you being so harsh on her?"

Lucas stared at Melody intently, seeing that she still refused to respond to him. In the end, he just slammed the bowl down and went upstairs. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meanwhile, Thalia smiled at Beatrice and Cedric before limping upstairs herself. However, at the corner, she unexpectedly saw Lucas waiting there. Despite his unpleasant expression, he still picked up Melody and carried her upstairs.

After carefully placing Melody on the bed, Lucas squatted in front of her and looked into her eyes. "How can you stay in the dorm when you still need me to carry you upstairs? Who'll take care of you there?" Seeing his tender expression, Melody felt upset and looked away. "Do you think I can't take care of myself without you? Can't I buy a pair of crutches? Don't be so cocky. I can still live well without you. Besides I have my own friends."

Lucas gently put his hand on top of her hand, causing Melody to recoil as if shocked.

"I've never doubted that you can live well without me. I'm just worried about you. I'm worried that you'll have a difficult time alone in the dormitory. Even if you have your friends, can they be with you all the time? If you fall down in the middle of the night, who will be there to help you up?"
