The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Meanwhile, Lucas drove Melody back home after they finished their lunch.

Melody got out of the car, but when she noticed Lucas remained seated, she turned to ask him, "Aren't you getting out?"

"I have some things to take care of," Lucas replied.

Melody felt disappointed, and there was a bitter feeling in her heart. 'Is he going to find Stella?' she wondered.

Lucas gave a helpless smile when he saw her expression. "I haven't been to the office all day, and there are many things I need to do, so I can't afford to relax."

"You're going to the office?" Melody's mood brightened slightly with a smile. "Don't work too late. Your family is already wealthy, so you don't need to work so hard. Your health is more important." Melody turned and happily skipped into the house.

Lucas' gaze involuntarily softened as he watched her go into the house. It was sort of nice to have Melody living with them. At least, his grandparents seemed to be in a good mood every day because of her antics.
