The Day I Kissed An Older Man

As expected, Beatrice saw the rumors even though Lucas had buried those stories.
"Grandma, I'm sorry for troubling the family again," Melody apologized.
Beatrice smiled and took a sip from her tea cup. "Silly girl, I'm not here to blame you. You're family now, so your problems are our problems. It's just that I don't know how to respond to those who ask me about this."
Melody did not expect Beatrice to embrace her as a part of the family. In fact, she had expected Beatrice to give her a harsh scolding. Thus, she was immensely touched, and her guilt intensified at the same time.
Beatrice was so kind to her, yet she dragged them into this mess.
"Grandma, things are not as they're portrayed online. Those photos were taken out of context, and the man in the photos was my senior in high school. We're nothing more than friends," Melody explained. She knew her explanation sounded feeble, but it was the best she could do. She just hoped Beatrice would believe her.
"Grandma, I have a way of proving my innocence. Wait for my return."
Instead of relying on such feeble explanations, Melody decided to find evidence as soon as possible to prove her innocence.
Melody got up and hurriedly ran out the door. She then got into the car Lucas had arranged for her. "Edmund, take me to Parr Group."
"Miss Melody, Mister Lucas has instructed me to take you somewhere else first."
Melody was taken aback. "What? Where?"
Edmund did not answer but simply drove the car away.
20 minutes later, they arrived at city hall. "Miss Melody, Mister Lucas is waiting for you inside."
Melody nodded, though confused, before taking her ID from Edmund and walking in alone. Although she and Lucas had signed a contract, they had not officially registered their marriage.
She never expected him to choose that day of all days.

The marriage registration process was straightforward, and within half
an hour, they had two copies of m marriage certificates in their hands. Melody looked at the certificate in her hand, feeling somewhat dazed but mostly resigned. "Lucas, can Edmund take me to Parr Group now?" "Sure." Lucas handed Melody his certificate as well. "Keep this safe." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
Melody took it and placed both certificates together with her ID, then returned to the car. Edmund then drove her to Parr Group.
At the building's entrance, Melody contacted the staff who had received her earlier.
The staff quickly came down and greeted her. "Please follow me this way, Miss Melody."
"This is my friend. Is it okay if he joins us?" Melody gestured to Edmund by her side.
Edmund was somewhat surprised that Melody introduced him as a friend.
