Lucas rubbed his fingertips, the lingering soft sensation from Melody's ear still not fading. He was not sure what was happening, but he felt like he was not done enjoying it. "Sorry. I accidentally touched it when I raised my hand," he said.
Melody glanced at his serious face suspiciously. "Is that so?"
Lucas' eyes darkened at the way she was scrutinizing him. "You think I did it on purpose?"
Melody remained silent. 'Does he think I'm that presumptuous?'
Lucas did not even spare Stella a single glance throughout the entire time.
Stella kept looking over at him, thus appearing absent-minded to Beatrice.
"Go ahead and stare at Lucas all you want, Miss Stella, but he'll never be yours, no matter how much you look at him."
Stella snapped back to reality, awkwardly smiled, and resumed playing the victim. "Madam Beatrice, it seems like no matter how much I explain, you've already made up your mind about me, so why don't we leave it to time? Time will tell whether I'm innocent or not. Melody is also working in the entertainment industry now and often attends social events. Rest assured that I'll take care of her then."
Beatrice, unwilling to beat around the bush, retorted, "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't need others to take care of her. I've said my piece today. I hope you'll take my advice. The relationship between Melody and Lucas isn't something you can come in between. Has Lucas ever given you a meaningful glance after looking over at him so many times? Go back, Miss Stella. We've been walking for long enough, and I'm tired."
'Does this old lady think she can ask me to come and go as she pleases? I'm not her servant!' thought Stella.
She clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could burn all the flowers in the garden.
When they returned to the living room, Lucas and Melody were huddled together, discussing something on the iPad.
"Grandma, you're back. Would you like to have some freshly brewed tea?" asked Melody.
Beatrice instinctively offered a smile upon seeing Melody. "Did you brew the rose tea you like for today as well?"
Melody nodded docilely. "Lucas also likes it, so I thought I'd make him drink more."
