The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Good evening, Grandpa and Grandma. I'm sorry to bother you so late. I just got off the plane, and since I don't have any relatives or friends here, I had to trouble Lucas..." Thalia apologized. "You're Thalia, right?" asked Beatrice, although she already knew the answer.
After Thalia nodded, Beatrice smiled politely at her.
"Oh. Aren't you supposed to be recuperating abroad? Why did you suddenly come back to the country?"
Thalia smiled in response to Beatrice's question. "My health has improved quite a bit after these years of recuperating abroad. I came back this time because I missed some people... I hope I'm not too much of a bother to you and Grandpa..."
They all understood that Thalia's sister had passed away prematurely while trying to save Lucas, so the elderly couple had been taking care of Thalia as much as possible. Beatrice had always felt apologetic about the situation.
"Of course. You're more than welcome to stay here. It's just that it's quite late right now. Otherwise, your grandpa and I would've given you a warmer welcome. Not to mention, Lucas still needs to go back to the hospital to take care of Melody. We're afraid our efforts might fall short," Beatrice explained.
Thalia waved with a smile. "Oh Grandma, you're too kind. We've known each other for so many years, so there's no need for special treatment!"
She then turned to Lucas. "Hey Lucas, please go ahead if you have something else to attend to. I'll be fine by myself here."
Beatrice then realized that Thalia had no intention of leaving. She glanced at Lucas, somewhat blaming her grandson for bringing Thalia there.
'We have so many other properties outside. Couldn't he have found one for her to stay alone? What if Melody came back and misunderstood the situation?' thought Beatrice.
"Lucas does have other matters to attend to, but it's not too late to take you to another place to stay. He has achieved a lot in his business over the years, so he has plenty of residences. Feel free to choose one you like. I guarantee you'll enjoy living there without anyone bothering you."
The way Beatrice smiled as she suggested that left Thalia with no room to refuse.
Thalia glanced at Lucas. Just as he was about to speak up for her, Beatrice shot him another warning glare.
"It's quite late, so I feel a little embarrassed at having Lucas drive me back and forth. Grandma, how about I stay with you and Grandpa for a few nights? You two are getting older, and I'm quite worried about you two living alone in such a big house. At least with me staying with you two, Lucas will be able to take care of Melody with peace of mind, don't you think?" said Thalia.
Initially hesitant, Lucas found himself agreeing with Thalia's proposal. "Let her stay to look after both of you. That way, I can focus on taking care of Melody without worrying too much about home. Since her las incident, you two have been uneasy and having trouble sleeping. With Thalia here, you two can finally rest more peacefully."
Beatrice would have definitely given Lucas a good scolding if there were no outsiders present.
