The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas was afraid that Beatrice and Cedric would worry if they overheard them arguing at the door, so he drove the car to a quiet spot under the trees.
"There's no need to argue about this. Melody and I have been staying in the hospital all this while, and you've just returned. You're basically not with us most of the time, so how could there be any misunderstandings?"
Lucas's attitude was already very clear, which made Thalia both angry and resentful.
Thalia did not expect that after so many years of knowing each other, Lucas would unhesitatingly take Melody's side. Her eyes turned red, and tears welled up as if they were about to fall at any moment. She told him that she heard the kitchen staff gossiping about her in the kitchen.
Melody still did not believe Thalia's words. The kitchen staff were all very kind. How could they badmouth others behind their backs?
Even Lucas could not believe it. At least two or three of the kitchen staff had been part of the household since he was young. He had grown up eating the food they had cooked. After so many years of getting to know each other, he had a good understanding of the kind of people they were.
On most days, only Beatrice and Cedric were at home. Lucas would never allow someone who likes to gossip to stay with the elderly couple in their home.
"Why don't any of you believe me? I really heard them talking bad about me!" Thalia covered her face and burst into tears, feeling a bit panicked herself.
She was not aware that the kitchen staff had been with the Riveras for so many years. Otherwise, she would have framed someone else to avoid being caught in a difficult situation.
"How about this? Since our home isn't far from here, Lucas, you drive the car back. We'll confront the kitchen staff one by one. They'll have to apologize to Miss Thalia if they really did the things she accused them of. But if they hadn't done anything, Miss Thalia will have to apologize to them."
Lucas approved of Melody's suggestion. However, Thalia was unwilling. After all, she had lied. She thought that Lucas would sympathize with her and take her side, but her plan backfired when he chose to believe the kitchen staff than her.
Suddenly, she lifted her head, wiped away a tear, and chuckled bitterly. "I knew I'd end up like this. I shouldn't have come back to the country all alone! Let's just forget it since Lucas doesn't even believe me!" After that, she forcefully opened the car door and ran off toward the depths of the forest.
Both Lucas and Melody were taken aback by her unexpected actions. Melody reacted first, shouting at Lucas to quickly find her.
"The forest is so big, and she's not familiar with the paths. What if she gets lost in there? Hurry and go!" Melody urged anxiously.
After seeing Lucas chasing after Thalia, she immediately called Beatrice with the intention of asking her to send the other servants to join the search for Thalia.
