NovelEnglishChapter 2004 Melody looked probingly at Lucas while he simply nodded at her.
Surprisingly, Lucas did want to take her to a movie.
"Alright, let's hurry and eat. The movie will start soon," Beatrice said as she stood up, pulling Melody to the dining room.

Despite feeling quite strange about the situation, Melody followed Lucas into the car. Beatrice and Cedric happily waved them away.
Once in the car, Melody could not help but ask, "Lucas, are you really takingto see a movie?" Lucas started the car, and without looking at her, asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to go?" "It's not that," Melody mumbled, looking down. It was not that she did not want to watch a movie; it felt odd to be going to the movies with him.
Lucas remained silent as he drove, and Melody did not initiate a conversation either. She just turned her head to look out the window, observing the changing scenery. It had been a long tsince she last watched a movie.
Melody used to think that movie tickets were a tad expensive, so she was hesitant to go. However, she did go to the movies with friends a few times during her university years.
After graduating, Helen began to control her life. With no freedom and no money, she stopped going to the movies.
Lucas retrieved the tickets when they arrived at the cinema. When he saw the movie's nprinted on them, he said, "Ah, so we're watching this movie." Hearing that, Melody realized that he was not the one who cup with the idea of taking her to the movies. She leaned over and asked, "Who chose this movie?" Lucas turned to look at her, narrowly avoiding their heads bumping." Grandma did." Melody completely understood then. It was Beatrice who had Lucas take her out to the movie after all. If it were not for Beatrice, Lucas might not have thought of taking her to the movies.
However, Melody did not feel too upset. She was not Lucas' actual wife to begin with, so he did not need to invest much effort in her. It was enough to make her happy that Lucas did not turn down the idea of taking her to the movie when Beatrice suggested it.

"Do you want a smoothie?" Melody smiled and pointed to the nearby smoothie shop. Since you treatedto a movie, lettreat you to ssmoothie." Lucas did not really like a smoothie, but he found himself agreeing when he saw the look of anticipation on her face.
"Do you have a preference? otherwise, I'll get what I like," Melody asked Lucas opinion before going over to the smoothie shop to buy two smoothies. She handed one to Lucas and said, "I've tried the smoothie from this place before, and it's pretty good. Give it a try!" Lucas took the cup and sipped. Sure enough, he found it...good.
They still had 20 minutes before the movie, so they sat in the cinema lobby, feeling a bit awkward.
Melody wanted to say something to Lucas several times but did not know what would be appropriate, so she chose to remain silent in the end. X
