The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melody paused and turned her head.
Downstairs, Stella saw Lucas returning and quickly walked toward him. "You're finally back. I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Lucas' gaze hardened when he spotted Stella, clearly not expecting her presence. "What are you doing here?"
Lucas had no idea that Stella was invited to have dinner at their house.
"Grandma Beatrice invited me for dinner. I thought she'd tell you!"
Stella's gaze caught Melody still standing at the staircase, and she quickly reached out to help Lucas take off his coat. "Come on! Take off your coat, it's warm inside. I'll hang it up for you." She looked like a proper lady of the Riveras, waiting for her husband to come home, helping him with his coat.
"No need." Lucas sidestepped, skillfully avoiding her hand.
Melody, standing on the stairs, happened to witness this scene. She could not quite describe the feeling in her heart, so she quietly went back to her room.
They could get cozy however they wished. She was not afraid of Beatrice finding out about their marriage. After all, it was not her responsibility if it got exposed!
With the maid's assistance, Lucas changed his shoes and turned to Stella. "How long have you been here?"
"I've been here for quite a while!" Stella pursed her lips shyly. "Lucas, Grandma Beatrice is so good to me. She even cooked dinner for me. I wanted to help, but she wouldn't let me." "Since Grandma invited you, you don't have to be so cordial. Sit here for a while. I'll go upstairs and change clothes," Lucas absentmindedly spoke before heading upstairs.
He had noticed Melody going upstairs.
Although Stella did not get to take off his clothes, their actions were indeed a tad ambiguous. That woman might have misunderstood them.
Lucas ascended the stairs, pushing the door open and stepping inside.
As soon as he entered the room, he caught sight of Melody emerging from the bathroom, draped only in a bath towel. Her fragrant shoulders and beautiful back radiated a luminous whiteness. Melody had not expected him to come upstairs and instinctively pulled the towel a bit higher, hands protecting her chest. "You... Why did you come in here?"
Lucas snapped back to reality, sneering, "This is my room. Is it strange for me to come in?"
Melody tried to retort but felt that his statement was not entirely unreasonable.

m

Who would have thought that Lucas would come up so quickly and make things awkward?
Melody pursed her lips, unwilling to face Lucas in such attire. Hastily grabbing some change of clothes from the bed, she turned and headed back into the bathroom to get dressed.

Once she changed, Melody emerged with a towel still on her head. "Miss
Stella is still downstairs. Why did you come up so fast? Don't you need to spend some time with her?" "Oh? Are you so eager for me to be with Stella?" Lucas squinted, observing her as she dried her hair. Visit

"No, I just thought you two were
getting along well just now, and I assumed you must have a lot to talk about figured you'd chat for a while I
longer," Melody said as she chuckled awkwardly. "I thought it would be considerate to go back to my room, not wanting to disturb you and not wanting to be a third wheel." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
