The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas was afraid that Beatrice and Cedric would worry if they overheard them arguing at the door, so he drove the car to a quiet spot under the trees.

"There's no need to argue about this. Melody and I have been staying in the hospital all this while, and you've just returned. You're basically not with us most of the time, so how could there be any misunderstandings?"

Lucas's attitude was already very clear, which made Thalia both angry and resentful.

Thalia did not expect that after so many years of knowing each other, Lucas would unhesitatingly take Melody's side. Her eyes turned red, and tears welled up as if they were about to fall at any moment. She told him that she heard the kitchen staff gossiping about her in the kitchen.

Melody still did not believe Thalia's words. The kitchen staff were all very kind. How could they badmouth others behind their backs?

Even Lucas could not believe it. At least two or three of the kitchen staff had been part of the household since he was young. He had grown up eating the food they had cooked. After so many years of getting to know each other, he had a good understanding of the kind of people they were.
