The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2123

Melody grumbled.

Lucas nodded. "Then don't use perfume. I like this scent on you," said Lucas.

Melody rolled her eyes and tugged at her clothes.

Lucas, distracted, was caught off-guard and stumbled when she pulled, causing both of them to fall onto the sofa.

"Ouch—"

Lucas quickly covered Melody's head to protect her, but his own palm grazed against the armrest.

"Melody, you're back! What happened? Why won't you two tell us anything?" Beatrice's voice came from the doorway.

Before the two could react, she anxiously pushed the door open.

"Grandma?!"

Melody, pressed beneath Lucas, tried to get up in a bit of panic, but Lucas remained motionless.

Their actions were extremely ambiguous, especially considering that Melody's clothes were torn. She nudged Lucas' chest.

"Quick, get up! Grandma is here!"

"Hi, Grandma," called out Lucas absent-mindedly.

Beatrice smiled in coy satisfaction.

"Oh, my! You two lovebirds continue. I'm not an old-fashioned person. I'll ask you later when you're done."

"Uh... Grandma, you've misunderstood. Lucas and I are not—"

"So what if she misunderstood us? Don't forget that we're husband and wife now. Even if Grandma misunderstood, it's something we, as a married couple, should do. The more she misunderstands, the more safe it's for us," said Lucas meaningfully.

His hands, as if suffering from hyperactivity, kept caressing Melody's cheeks.

"So you did that on purpose?" Melody clenched her fingers where he could not see. 'Did he intentionally not get up from me when Grandma entered the room? Was it just to make Grandma believe even more that they were a married couple?'

"What else?"

Lucas' reaction was too composed, making Melody realize that between them, there was only a contract, and nothing more.

She could not afford to lose herself.

Thinking of this, the warmth on Melody's face quickly receded. She turned her face aside and pushed Lucas' hand away.

"It's getting late, and I'm a bit tired. I'd like to wash up if you don't mind."
