The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Grandma Beatrice, just because you have a bias against me doesn't mean you should think I would do something like that. Lucas and I have been good friends for many years. I didn't know he would be asleep in the study when I came to get the book. You're really misunderstanding me! Besides, I only covered Lucas with a blanket out of concern for him. Do you expect me to let a friend freeze on a sofa all night? You said you were going to bed earlier. I would've definitely come downstairs to get you first if I had known you were still awake."
Thalia's explanation was reasonable and even perfect. Beatrice realized she could not find fault with her and had no choice but to compromise in the end.
"Is that so? Then I apologize for the misunderstanding, Miss Thalia. It's getting late, so you should go back to your room. Lucas has me here."
Having obtained the desired photos, Thalia did not linger any longer. She put on a very aggrieved look, biting her lip. She hugged her phone and the book, then left the study. Before going downstairs, she gave the study a mysterious smile.
'No matter how capable this old lady is, she can't possibly win against me!' thought Thalia.
After Thalia went downstairs, Beatrice reached out and touched Lucas' forehead. He did not have a fever, and there did not seem to be any signs of him having been drugged by someone.
'But why would he fall asleep here?' wondered Beatrice.
Since Melody moved out, Lucas had been returning to the bedroom he shared with her later and later. Beatrice knew in her heart that her grandson must be suffering.
Each time Lucas returned to their bedroom, he would recall the time spent with Melody. Thus, it was understandable he would not want to be in there alone. However, he still insisted on sleeping in that room because it reminded him of her.
Thus, Beatrice found it strange that Lucas would fall asleep in the study.
Furthermore, she had not heard Edmund mention anything about the company being particularly busy these days, so why would Lucas suddenly fall asleep in the study?
"Lucas. Lucas?" Beatrice nudged Lucas several times, but he did not wake up. He seemed to be sleeping deeply, which puzzled her. However, she could not find any clues for the time being.
'But Thalia didn't spend much time in the study just now. Even if she wanted to do something, there wouldn't have been enough time,' thought Beatrice.
She made sure Lucas was sleeping soundly before she went downstairs.
As she passed by the staircase, she noticed a faint light coming from Thalia's
room.
'I'll be thankful as long as that woman doesn't cause any more trouble!' thought Beatrice.
However, she still made a mental note to herself to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Thalia's every move.

"Hmm, this one is good, and this one too. Which one should I send to Melody?" Thalia pondered as she scrolled through the photos on her phone.
She had taken many photos, and she believed she had to make use of them; otherwise, they would just be wasted if they remained only on her phone for her own enjoyment.

After much deliberation, Thalia finally settled on the photo where Lucas appeared to be intimately leaning on her shoulder. Most importantly, it
was hard to tell from the angle the photo was taken that he was
unconscious. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this

Instead, it looked like a photo that a

arrived there, and Melody was discharged from the hospital, hoping
to show her goodwill. However, Melody was very good at pretending, and she had never sent Thalia a
