The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2436

Melody could not even see where her future lay, but in that moment, she only knew she had to leave the family that always ensnared her, making it impossible for her to break free. That family was like a swamp that trapped Melody deep within. Without a ruthless break, she feared she would be bound forever.

It was painfully clear to her that her parents, unlike others, could not provide her with the support she needed, which added to Melody's distress. She had wondered more than once if it was because of her shortcomings that Helen and Ethan treated her this way. Still, why were they so kind to Wendy, even though she was a girl as well? Not to mention, Wendy was not even Helen's biological daughter.

After all these years, Melody could not help but doubt herself. "I thought that if I fulfilled all their wishes and demands, they'd love me like they love Wendy. In the end, I was just deluding myself. No matter how hard I try, they won't ever love me."

With a heart full of pity, Lucas gently caressed Melody's cheek. He could not understand how any parent could find fault with such a well-behaved daughter. That so-called sister of Melody's was incredibly selfish, reaching the height of self-centeredness.

Instead of clarifying things for her sister online when she got into trouble, she went as far as to smear her name. It was truly difficult to fathom what kind of twisted family dynamics exist here.

"You've already done well, Melody. In fact, you haven't done anything wrong. Choosing to escape from that family was the best decision you've made. Continuing to stay with them wouldn't bring any good, and they'd drain you for the rest of your life.

"As for what Wendy did, you don't need to worry about it anymore. Just stay off from online news for the moment and leave the matter to me, okay?"

Lucas could not bear to let Melody witness what he was going to do. Even though it was a fact that Helen and the others had been cruel to Melody, letting her witness it all firsthand was just too cruel.
