The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2147

'What kind of expression would he have if he noticed me?' Melody wondered. In the end, he did not even care to look at her and felt just like a random stranger in the crowd—a mere foil to the true star of the show.

Melody raised her feet and left silently, knowing she would only feel more and more frustrated if she continued to look at them.

Melody returned home with a heavy heart, and she could not control her emotions well. Beatrice immediately noticed that Melody was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong, Melody? Did the police officers bully you?" Beatrice's dry and slightly rough hands caressed Melody's cheek.

She watched Melody squeeze out a stiff smile and said, "I'm fine. Nothing serious happened."

"Come on now, Melody. Even that old man can tell that you're not in a good mood. Tell us what happened. You're still young, and you shouldn't keep everything in your heart. We're your family, after all. You can talk to us."

Melody nodded vigorously. She was afraid that Beatrice's kindness would make her cry.

"Tell us the truth, Melody. Did things go wrong at the police station? Or is the evidence now against you?" Beatrice pulled her to the sofa and looked at her concernedly.

Melody's heart felt even more bitter. Beatrice showed so much concern for her affairs, yet Lucas went on a date with Stella. She even wondered if Lucas had ever shown concern for her.

She shook her head and said, "It went smoothly. I don't have anything to fear because I'm innocent. I also told the police everything I knew, so the rest is up to them to investigate."

Cedric placed his newspaper down and said in a very stern tone, "You're our granddaughter-in-law. If that's how you think, then how are the other younger actors going to survive?"

Melody's confused look made her look even more naive.

Beatrice then said, "You're our granddaughter-in-law, and if we can't even protect you so you can do what you love, then our longstanding position in this country would be in vain."

Their remarks were clearly meant to support Melody.

"I'm not complaining," Melody clarified, "It's just that things happen, and sometimes we might not be able to stop them. Not even Lucas could predict what might happen when he kept me company at the set and picked me up today."
