It was thoroughly shocking that she could utter something so shameless after witnessing the contrast in performance between the two individuals just now.Melody said nothing much after that. She told them that she had other matters to attend to and that her family would grow anxious if she stayed too long."Do you think we live in a cave? Your family disowned you long ago! What family are you talking about? Just admit that you're afraid. I'm not going to laugh at you for running away like a coward." Carmen had lost, but her arrogance remained, and she insulted Melody with every remark.The instructor, unable to tolerate it any longer, was on the brink of reprimanding Carmen when a man's voice echoed suddenly from the doorway."That's some tall words for someone who lost the first round. Do you take everyone here for blind idiots who can't discern who won and who lost?"Lucas had sensed something amiss since the moment Melody's dance instructor messaged him. When he came early to p

The price remained the same. Melody was able to learn some new things, while the dance studio was able to establish a brand too.Melody glanced indifferently at Carmen, who—despite pleading with her—betrayed a sense of profound humiliation. It was a rather absurd situation."Your expression tells me you're not genuinely sorry. Since you have a passion for dancing, you're more than welcome to continue here, but I hope you won't cause any more trouble over insignificant things again."Carmen raised her head abruptly and glared at Melody. She knew that Melody refused to let her off the hook because of Lucas. Melody wanted that man for herself and would not spare any cost to keep it that way. Alas, those actions only brought turmoil to their family one after another."What are you staring at?" Lucas frowned, positioning himself in front of Melody. He hated it when people looked at Melody with disdain."She agreed to let you stay, but if you can't do as she asks, then I'll be glad to h

Melody reached out instinctively and tried to smooth Lucas' furrowed brows. "You've been fretting over Grandma so much that it breaks my heart to see you like this. I'm sorry I can't share this burden with you."Lucas held Melody in a firm embrace, their faces barely inches apart. He buried himself in her arms and took a deep breath, saying, "Having you beside me is already a great enough help. Take good care of yourself. Don't fall ill or get hurt, okay?"As much as she wanted to offer more words of comfort to Lucas, they seemed trapped within her heart."Okay."Love was all about giving and taking. Despite the happiness Melody found at Lucas' side, Lucas could never forget the desolation she once endured when he first brought her home. All the pain she suffered in her previous family stemmed from her biological parents, which Lucas often felt guilty about. If he had fallen in love with her sooner, perhaps he could have rescued her quicker from that sea of suffering.Even though

Wendy's words were harsh as if Thalia should shoulder all the blame. Thalia was understandably unhappy at the other end of the phone."You say that like it's an easy feat to accomplish. Do you think it's that easy to lure him away from that woman for a minute or two? Do you know how many bodyguards are around? They all had their eyes on me after that incident involving Beatrice! It's not easy for me to do something like that at this point in time. If you fail, then I'll become the prime suspect. I've already sacrificed a lot in case you didn't know."Wendy was irritated. "I never would've considered teaming up with you if you hadn’t come to me and suggested that! If you're so indecisive and hesitant about this and that, I might as well just do everything alone!"She had made up her mind to ruin Melody's reputation either the next day or the day after next. When Thalia told her that it was not a good time to set things in motion, it was practically the same as pouring cold water on h

Melody's tone dripped with sarcasm.Thalia had often boasted that she had known Beatrice for a long time, but her actions and expressions did not reflect any sense of genuine respect toward the old woman. Thalia's warmth toward Beatrice only surfaced in Lucas' presence, which only invited scrutiny and skepticism about her true intentions."Yes. You and I are complete opposites. Lucas and I were childhood sweethearts. And you? You're someone he picked up from God knows where. Young men tend to enjoy themselves a lot, which I honestly don't mind, but the longer he stays with you, the more he'll realize how good I am. I'm confident he'll come back to me before you know it."Melody could not help but chuckle at Thalia's unwavering confidence. "You're pretty sure of yourself. Does that mean your place is much higher than my place in his heart?"Thalia released Melody's hand and grimaced with disgust as she fetched a wet tissue to wipe it. "This isn't a question of confidence. It's the o
