The Day I Kissed An Older Man のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 2121 - チャプター 2130

Lucas stood up immediately, his body casting a shadow over Melody."Take off your coat. Let me see if there's any injury," said Lucas with a pure and unwavering gaze.Melody blushed instantly. "Uh, no need for that. I'm totally fine…"Lucas looked at her with a hint of disbelief as he knew how strong-willed she could be. He had seen the kind of people her parents were.Growing up in such a family, Melody had learned to hide all her pain as even getting hurt was seen as a nuisance by them.This made Lucas feel even more concerned."Listen to me." Lucas' hand rested on Melody's shoulder, his tone gentler than usual but still assertive. His actions were firm, leaving no room for opposition.Melody continued to resist him, anxious to the point where her neck turned red."No, it's okay. I'm not injured. I already explained in the car, didn't I? I managed to divert the three thug's attention with money when they were about to attack me. To get the remaining money, they didn't even to

Lucas assumed that Melody was exhausted after the fright she had, combined with the threats from her parents. Without giving it much thought, he let her go. However, he could not help but frown as he watched her walk away.Melody finally felt safe once immersed in the water. Her entire body relaxed.She was dog-tired throughout the day. The distance between her and Lucas was not only a matter of the contractual agreement but also her family issues. Who would not want their wife to have a normal family?She could not even achieve this most basic aspect.'How gentle Lucas' grandparents are to him,' she thought.Although they would sometimes lecture him, it was out of care and genuine feelings.Melody never experienced that from her family. She was pleasantly surprised when after serving her some food, Beatrice looked after her expectantly, hoping she would enjoy the food.She did not know whether Beatrice had noticed her surprise, but the look in her eyes toward her carried a hint

Cedric scoffed. "One should eat in moderation, no matter how good the food is. Don't you know eating too much crab can hurt your stomach? Melody, don't listen to what your grandma says. A plain croissant is better! If you want to eat something else, just let the housekeeper know, and she'll arrange it for you."Melody nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, Grandpa. You and Grandma have been very good to me. I appreciate it."Beatrice had something on her mind, so even when Cedric scolded her, she did not take it to heart.After Melody finished eating her crab croissant, Beatrice anxiously said, "What really happened yesterday? I asked Lucas, but he refused to tell me... I know you two don't want to worry us because of our age, but your grandfather and I'll become even more worried if you keep things from us. We couldn't eat or sleep well because we were constantly thinking about you two."Beatrice's tone was filled with concern and devoid of blame, and it touched Melody's heart. This was

Fearing that Melody might have a demanding work schedule and could get hungry by midday, Beatrice made sure to prepare a lot of the snacks."Remember to eat when you're hungry. Don't work on an empty stomach, understand? I know you actresses worry about putting on weight, but you're slim enough. So don't neglect yourself, okay?""Thank you, Grandma. I understand," Melody replied.Beatrice held Melody's hand and continued to nag her at the doorstep. She mainly advised her not to overwork and emphasized the importance of taking care of her health."Alright, alright. Quit your nagging. Melody's going to go deaf at that rate," Cedric said, taking Beatrice's hand with one hand while waving at Melody with another. "Melody, don't listen to your grandma's nagging. Go on and shoot your scenes. Just remember to take the car home when you get off work."Melody did not feel that it was nagging at all. She never experienced this kind of warmth and concern from someone before. That was why she

Melody suddenly smiled. "I'm glad to hear that. You have my word that I'll portray my character well so as not to give any opportunity to those with ulterior motives."Stella, pretending to be calm, nodded. "That's the spirit! Oh, I almost forgot, my agent needs to talk to me about something. Gotta run. Bye."She did not even wait for Melody's response before fleeing with her tail between her legs, a far cry from the confident manner in which she distributed breakfast earlier.Melody scoffed coldly. 'She's not definitely not as nice as she makes herself out to be!'Stella looked around nervously once she was out of Melody's sight.'This can't be! How is she here looking completely fine? Don't tell me she's so mentally strong that she's able to act as if nothing happened even after being violated by others?'Stella anxiously bit her nails.'Maybe it's not really that impossible… After all, didn't that despicable woman use some underhanded tactics to bind Lucas to her side?'"D*m
