The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Beatrice frowned at Thalia's remark. Lucas had probably never seen her act that petulantly before.

"Did you think I was worried that you'd come between them? I'm not. I just don't want their life as a young couple to be ruined by someone with ulterior motives. Have you ever considered that one day I might tell Lucas what you just told me?"

Thalia's excuse was to repay her sister's kindness, and while the Riveras did owe her sister-who was a genuinely good person-for saving Lucas, Thalia was not like her sister at all! Their characters were polar opposites!

To make things worse, Thalia had talked back against Beatrice, who simply found the situation rather amusing.

Thalia wiped away her tears, feeling aggrieved. "You can go ahead and tell Lucas everything. I don't care. But I won't leave until Lucas tells me to." She was confident that Lucas would not chase her away even if Beatrice conveyed everything to him. After all, she had no one else to rely on in the country and Lucas was the only person she knew well.
