Stella was overjoyed to receive that message. She had sent those text messages as a probe. It was true that there was a power outage at her home, but there was also a backup power supply, so she had no reason to be 'afraid'.
Unexpectedly, without much begging, Lucas agreed to come to her house.
'So what if Lucas is with Melody? He still came running as soon as I asked him to,' she thought smugly.
This time, she was determined to turn things with Lucas into a reality. Humming a song, Stella got ready to welcome him.
Meanwhile, Cedric watched as Beatrice neatly packed her belongings. He followed her closely and asked, "Where are you going? Shall I go with you?"
"No, it's okay. You just stay at home and keep an eye on Lucas and Melody. I'll be back very soon."
Stella heard the doorbell ring.
Beatrice quickly covered the peephole.
Stella, in her excitement to see Lucas, never considered the possibility that the person on the other side of the door might not be him.
She opened the door and called out softly, "Lucas-"
However, she only saw Beatrice standing there, staring at her with a somewhat coy smile. "Madam... Madam Beatrice, what are you going here?"
Stella refused to believe it. She even tried to peek behind the old woman, checking if Lucas was behind her.
"I have some matters to discuss with you, Miss Stella. Aren't you going to invite me in for a chat?"
Stella did not know what else to say, so she awkwardly smiled and welcomed her inside. "Of course, of course. Please come in. I just didn't expect you to come, so it's a bit surprising. That's all."
Stella's steps were extremely slow as if she had stepped into quicksand, trailing behind Beatrice. She felt like taking one step forward and three steps back.
