The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2121

Melody chuckled bitterly.

Lucas felt a pang in his heart. It was an indescribable sensation. There were times when the human heart was simply inexplicable. Before meeting Melody, he could hardly fathom the existence of a mother who did not love her own child.

"Wendy did such terrible things to me, and they never once asked. They only care about her. Why is that? Or maybe I'm just too worthless, so even though I'm my mom's biological daughter, she doesn't like me. It's really exhausting..."

Melody let out a deep sigh and closed her eyes, as if drifting off to sleep. No one but her knew how she wept over her fate.

Lucas did not immediately comfort her. Instead, he looked at her with eyes filled with complexity.

From a very young age, Melody understood that tears only held meaning when shed in front of someone who cared about her. Wendy only had to cry a little for Helen to immediately put aside whatever she was doing to comfort her.

There was one time when Melody missed a step on the stairs and fell down. Her knees were scraped badly, and the pain was so intense that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mom, it hurts so much..."

Melody remembered calling out to Helen, but her mother continued to sit on the couch, eating potato chips in front of the TV, not even sparing her a glance.

In the end, it was the housekeeper who tended to Melody's knees after seeing how badly scraped they were. Melody reached out her arms to Helen when she passed by, hoping to be comforted, but all she heard was Helen's disdainful tone.
