The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2510

After completing the rounds, Beatrice was feeling somewhat tired, so Melody accompanied her back to her room to rest.

"Grandma, thank you for all you did for me, but there was really no need to introduce me tonight," said Melody.

Beatrice was showing slight signs of fatigue on her face. However, upon hearing Melody's words, she patted her hand gently.

"I know you're sensible and don't want my husband and me to worry too much, but there's something I must tell you. People in this circle are very realistic. Everyone comes for their own interests, and everyone leaves because of them. We must pave the way for you as much as possible while my husband and I still have some value to offer."

"Oh, Grandma…" Melody said simply in response to Beatrice's poignant words.

Beatrice had long learned the cold nature of human relationships and the harsh realities of the world in her years of being alive. These seemingly cruel facts were experiences she had lived through herself.

She did not want her grandchildren to experience the same helplessness and heartache she experienced in her youth. This was why she did everything she could while she still had the time, energy, and resources.

"You don't need to worry too much. Your grandfather and I will only do what we can handle. Besides, isn't it proof enough that I came up to rest when I'm feeling tired?"

Meanwhile, Lucas followed behind Cedric, greeting guests with an indescribable nobility. Though he did not speak much, just his presence alone was enough for the guests, and being able to clink glasses with Lucas made them feel honored.

There was no telling when their last meeting would be since they were both getting on with age, and Cedric had lost many friends to old age over the years, so he did not really extend invitations like this anymore.

Sometimes, he would get sad just thinking about it. Each of them had strove to reach the top of the business world. When they did, they learned that there was not much time left to enjoy. Thus, Cedric had made up his mind to enjoy his remaining time on earth while he was still healthy.

He always had a positive outlook, and he did not find the idea of his eventual demise to be particularly difficult to accept. Especially since he and Beatrice had long agreed that if one of them were to pass away first, the other would follow after finishing all their affairs. With this arrangement in place, even death did not seem so difficult to accept anymore.

Lucas, however, was unaware of their plan.
