The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2144

"More importantly, I know you're not that kind of person. I believe you, and whatever evidence I've put forth based on my observations was grounded in my belief in you."

Melody was a little taken aback that Lucas would give her such a serious answer after that light-hearted moment earlier. That was exactly what she had been waiting for.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Lucas turned to look at Melody. "I know it's very uncomfortable to be treated as a suspect, and I know that you feel that this isn't fair. But believe me, the perpetrator will reveal himself soon. Just wait patiently."

Melody was convinced by his gentle yet firm assertion. "I believe you."

"Good. Now wipe your tears. Grandma's going to think that I haven't been treating you well when she sees that your eyes are red," Lucas urged.

Melody touched her cheek, which was still dry. She glanced at Lucas and saw a little smirk on the corner of his lips. "You're playing tricks on me again!"

Lucas reached out to hold her hand and went into the villa together.

"What took you so long? Did you forget about Melody because you were too busy at the company?" Beatrice stood up as soon as she heard the front door open and looked at Lucas somewhat disapprovingly.

Melody could not bear to see Lucas being blamed, so she stepped forward and explained, "Something happened at the set earlier. The delay wasn't Lucas' fault."

Beatrice was glad to see Melody leaping to Lucas' defense. "I'm only nagging because I care! The food's all ready. Hurry up and eat. You must be hungry after a whole morning of working hard. Have a bowl of soup to warm your stomach!"

'Who am I to Lucas?' she wondered. 'Is it that difficult for him to tell me where he's going even if we're just playing pretend?'

Lucas knew all of Melody's schedule, but she knew nothing about his. The difference made her even more anxious. Melody forced herself to lie on the sofa for a while, but as soon as closed her eyes, she was reminded of when everyone accused her of being the perpetrator.

She decided to get up and make herself a hot cup of soothing tea.

It was a good thing that Lucas brought her back home, or she would still be engaged in a stalemate with the crew members. Melody stood by the window and looked out in a gaze.

After a while, the maid came knocking on her room door.
