The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"At the end of the day, this issue is between a young couple who are going through a tough time. Don't be so harsh on Lucas," Cedric remarked.
Beatrice rolled her eyes. "Look at you, already defending him before I even said anything to Lucas. You're the reason he's like this!"
"Sure, it's all my fault. It's not like you've ever spoiled Lucas, right?" Cedric chided sarcastically.
Beatrice cocked an eyebrow. "Are you trying to settle old scores with me? I won't deny that I doted on Lucas when he was a child! But when it comes to more important matters, I never let him do as he pleased!"
Cedric nodded. "Okay, okay. You're right. I'm the one who let him have his way. But on a more serious note, I do need to talk with him when he returns. He can't just cast aspersions on Melody like this!" Beatrice sighed and pointed out, "Melody is sad because he doesn't trust her."
Even Cedric acknowledged that the entire issue centered around trust.
Melody went into the room with a heavy heart. She thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but she collapsed as soon as her head hit the pillow. However, her sleep was far from serene due to the vivid dreams that haunted her.
In the dream, Lucas unhesitatingly chose another woman over her, leaving her heartbroken.
"Why are you here, Thalia? Do you miss me?" Lucas said, holding Thalia's hand with a childlike joy and innocence.
Melody watched as he held Thalia's hand and smiled in a way that she had never seen before. The woman asked, "Yeah! I came back for you, Lucas! Who is this woman next to you?"
Lucas looked at Melody and said, "She's not important. You're not feeling well, so let's not stay outside for too long."
They held hands and departed, leaving Melody watching helplessly as their figures grew further and further. "No! Don't leave me!"
Melody awoke with a start, realizing that it was nothing more than a dream. Though none of it was real, the pain of not being chosen lingered in her heart. She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
At that moment, Beatrice called out to her, "Melody? Are you awake? Dinner is ready. Are you hungry yet?"
Melody answered, "Okay, Grandma! You can go ahead and start without me. I'm going to the bathroom to freshen up."
"In that case, we'll wait for you downstairs. Don't be in such a hurry. Just take your time."
"Okay..."
Melody sighed and got out of bed. The cold sweat from her dream made her feel all sticky and uncomfortable.

room and found that Lucas had not returned yet. Neither Beatrice nor Cedric mentioned him at the dinner table as they were seemingly aware that he would not be back. Melody wondered when he would return, and she considered preparing some
snacks in case he came home
hungry at night. However, she shook her head of those thoughts, realizing that he was wealthy enough that he would not starve. Visit
