The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2005

Lucas checked the time and stood up. "Let's go. We can go in now."

They gave their tickets to the usher and found their seats. To let them experience the life of an ordinary couple, Beatrice deliberately chose a regular screening, and the surrounding seats were all occupied.

Lucas, dressed in a black suit, looked a bit out of place among the casually dressed crowd.

Seeing his somewhat awkward expression, Melody could not help but smile and leaned in close to him. "I bet you're regretting not changing into casual clothes before coming out. Ordinary people rarely wear suits for leisure."

"Just watch the movie," Lucas said with a straight face, pushing her head back with his hand.

Melody touched her head and then sat quietly watching the movie. As the movie began, it turned out to be a romantic love story. It seemed that Beatrice had spent a long time selecting a movie to enhance the relationship between the two.

"Hey." Not long after the movie started, Lucas's phone rang. He answered it in a hushed tone, "Now?"

Melody turned her head to look at him, seemingly aware of who might be on the other end of the call.

After hanging up the phone, Lucas looked somewhat uneasy and gave Melody a meaningful glance.

Melody realized what was happening and quickly smiled. She leaned toward him and whispered, "It's okay. Go ahead if you have something to attend to. I can watch the movie on my own. If Grandma asks later, I'll cover for you."

The call was from Stella. She was injured on the set and hoped Lucas could come over.

"Lucas, I was watching the movie. Why did you pull me out?" Melody felt it was quite a pity to waste the movie tickets. It did not mean she could not enjoy the movie even if he had to go see Stella. Wasting one ticket was better than wasting both.

"Those tickets cost almost fifty dollars! And we've already checked in, so we can't get a refund." It hurt Melody to see money going to waste like that, so she could not help but complain, "And I was actually looking forward to that movie. It's all wasted now."

Lucas, who was driving, chose to ignore her and focused on the road. Seeing this, Melody felt it was meaningless to say more, so she stopped talking.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the location where Stella was shooting. When Lucas got out of the car, Melody remained seated without moving.

Lucas walked to the passenger side and opened the door, saying, "Get out."
