The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas pressed both hands on Melody's head. "How generous of you to push your husband to another woman so casually and walk away so freely with another man."

Melody smirked. "Did I do something wrong? Isn't that what you've wanted? Didn't you always run to Miss Stella's help whenever she was in trouble before? I know Miss Stella is important to you, and I'm not that clueless to stop you from helping your friend."

"Why you..."

Melody became more impassioned as she spoke, "Don't worry, I have a very clear understanding of where I stand. Can you let go of me now? There's no one else here but us, so there's no need for us to put on a lovey-dovey act."

Lucas gripped her chin. "Getting sharper and more eloquent now, are we? At the end of the day, you just want to get rid of me so that you can spend some time alone with Sherman! After all, how can you possibly get into his car without worrying if I'm around?"

Melody felt a strong sense of oppression, but the frustration in her heart stopped her from giving in.

"I haven't violated any of our contract agreements. Sherman just happened to pass by today, and we greeted each other openly! Besides, don't you meet with Stella every day? Why don't you fix that first? I'm not going to bear the consequences if one day your grandparents find out the truth about us!"

As she spoke, Melody struggled to free herself from his tight grip, but his hand was like a vice, holding onto her firmly.
