The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2396

Still, Lucas should have actively avoided upsetting Melody since he cared a great deal about her. Why could he not understand such a simple rule?

"I'm not doubting you two, but Grandma, we need evidence for everything..."

Beatrice sighed again. "We knew you were a stubborn person. Do you still remember that your milk wasn't delivered to you by Lynette that day, but by Thalia? She added sleeping pills to that glass of milk. Otherwise, why would you have slept on the sofa in the study?"

Beatrice was serious about what she meant.

Lucas was silent, and he understood.

Ever since Melody left, he did not want to be in their room alone.

However, he still had to go back because the bed still smelled of Melody.

"I understand. I'll investigate this matter and resolve it." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lucas clenched his fists. He knew Thalia harbored deeper feelings for him. However, even if there was ever a possibility between the two of them, it was all in the past.

He only felt unable to let go and had a sense of responsibility toward Thalia.

"How are you going to solve it?" insisted Beatrice. She refused to let Thalia stay in their home any longer.

The longer it took, the more trouble it would cause them.

"I... I'll convince her to go back to Molomia. She could continue her studies there. After that, I'll only fly there several times a year to see her, just like how I used to do."

"What if Miss Garcia doesn't want to go back? What if she cries and begs you?"

This was a possibility. Beatrice stared at her grandson piercingly. She had to force him to make up his mind.

"Lucas, I have to tell you, you've done enough for Claudia's sake over the years. It was admirable that she saved you back then. You supported Thalia to let her live decently, but you can't let her interfere in your marriage.

"Did you not pay for her study and life in Molomia? Since you've given aid in monetary terms, she shouldn't ask for your feelings.

"You should keep your distance and be old friends, but I'll never allow you to have a deeper connection with her. You have a family, and it's not appropriate for you to get too close to other women."

"I'll give you a few days to resolve this matter. After sending her back, you can live a good life with Melody. Do you understand?"

Lucas nodded. Beatrice was always assertive whenever she got anxious.

He also knew that this was the ultimatum given to him by his grandmother. She could no longer tolerate Thalia.

"As for Melody's incident, it's in the news again today. You don't need to get involved in this matter. I will solve it for her."

Melody looked at Beatrice in surprise. "Grandma, this matter arose because of me, so I'll solve it myself. I've caused you too much trouble, and I don't want to..."

The reason why she hesitated to come back today was because she was afraid that Beatrice would intervene.

She felt as if she had brought nothing to this family, but she always asked them to help her clean up the mess. She had become a burden to them.

However, Beatrice interrupted her. "Silly girl, what are you talking about? We are a family; nothing is too much trouble! I said I'd support your career, so you just need to focus on acting."
