When Melody was given a spoon and a serving of lime sorbet, she did not know
how to begin telling them about what happened.
"How does the lime sorbet taste? I put a lot of effort into making it."
"Really? Let me try it!" Melody hastily took a slice and savored its sweetness before swallowing. "It is delicious! Your cooking is always the best!"
Cedric enjoyed his serving of lime sorbet too, but Beatrice served him a very small portion out of concern for his blood sugar.
"I'm glad you enjoy it. It makes all the trouble worth it! How about I have someone bring you lunch to the set later in the afternoon?"
Melody's hand paused as she stirred the sorbet. "I might not go to the set this afternoon. There's been an incident."
"Oh?" Beatrice promptly set down her spoon. "Did someone bully you again? You need to tell us if that's the case!"
Melody felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Beatrice and Cedric had provided her with the care and affection she never once received. "No, no one troubled me. It was just a misunderstanding between myself and Lucas."
If their argument prompted her to return earlier, it had to be serious enough that Melody felt the need to leave work and return home.
Seeing the old lady's inquisitive eyes, Melody decided to be straightforward. "Grandma Beatrice, Grandpa Cedric... This is what happened. One of the actors in the crew became popular on one of the social media platforms after the film's success. Everyone thought we were a couple. When I was discussing with that actor about the best way to clarify this misunderstanding to the public, Lucas showed up and... misunderstood."
Melody's expression took on a complicated hue after she mentioned Lucas.
Beatrice, knowing her grandson's temperament, immediately understood. "Is that the reason you come back early?" She held Melody's hand, who responded with a confused expression.
"A lot of people know I'm your granddaughter-in-law, and this might cause trouble for you and Grandpa. I'm really sorry. I didn't want this to happen either," Melody explained.
"Even if your grandfather and I don't really pay much attention to what's happening, we do hear bits and pieces of this sort of news. As much as we try to avoid it, there will always be people making sure that we hear about it. We know what happened," Beatrice reassured Melody and patted the back of her hand.
