Lucas assumed that Melody was exhausted after the fright she had, combined with the threats from her parents. Without giving it much thought, he let her go. However, he could not help but frown as he watched her walk away.
Melody finally felt safe once immersed in the water. Her entire body relaxed.
She was dog-tired throughout the day. The distance between her and Lucas was not only a matter of the contractual agreement but also her family issues. Who would not want their wife to have a normal family?
She could not even achieve this most basic aspect.
'How gentle Lucas' grandparents are to him,' she thought.
Although they would sometimes lecture him, it was out of care and genuine feelings.
Melody never experienced that from her family. She was pleasantly surprised when after serving her some food, Beatrice looked after her expectantly, hoping she would enjoy the food.
She did not know whether Beatrice had noticed her surprise, but the look in her eyes toward her carried a hint of compassion after that. Melody envied Lucas, who was born into a place with both wealth and love.
Melody sighed softly, her face damp with water, making it unclear whether the droplets rolling down her face were tears or something else.
She carefully scrubbed every inch of her body, thinking how foolish she was not to notice that Wendy had developed deep-seated hatred for her.
Melody could not figure out what she had done wrong. It was ironic that even her parents could not articulate what exactly she had done wrong, yet they unconditionally favored Wendy without any apparent
reason.
After all, their precious elder daughter was locked up in the police station, while Melody stood outside unscathed. How could they tolerate such a situation? They even thought that she must have schemed to get a remarkable man like Lucas.
In fact, they believed such an outstanding man would have been the perfect match for Wendy. In their eyes, Melody was not deserving of any good things.
Whenever Melody found herself alone in a quiet place, all the chaotic thoughts would surge toward her like a tide, trapping her tightly. Those thoughts would tell her not to fantasize about being with Lucas for real.
They were not in the same league at all. He lived in the sunlight, while she lived in darkness.
Melody hid all of her pain and made sure she was composed before walking out of the bathroom.
"Have you showered?" she asked while drying her hair, but there was no response.
By the time she walked to the bedside, Lucas had already fallen asleep.
"I forgot, you must be tired too today. You've been busy since the moment you received the message about my credit card, huh?"
Melody reached out with one hand, gently tracing his silhouette.
