NovelEnglishChapter 2055 Melody paused and turned her head.
Downstairs, Stella saw Lucas returning and quickly walked toward him." You're finally back. I've been waiting for you here for a long time!" Lucas' gaze hardened when he spotted Stella, clearly not expecting her presence. "What are you doing here?" Lucas had no idea that Stella was invited to have dinner at their house.
"Grandma Beatrice invitedfor dinner. I thought she'd tell you!" Stella's gaze caught Melody still standing at the staircase, and she quickly reached out to help Lucas take off his coat. "Con! Take off your coat, it's warm inside. I'll hang it up for you." She looked like a proper lady of the Riveras, waiting for her husband to chome, helping him with his coat. "No need." Lucas sidestepped, skillfully avoiding her hand.

They could get cozy however they wished. She was not afraid of Beatrice finding out about their marriage. After all, it was not her responsibility if it got exposed! With the maid's assistance, Lucas changed his shoes and turned to Stella." How long have you been here?" "I've been here for quite a while!" Stella pursed her lips shyly. "Lucas, Grandma Beatrice is so good to me. She even cooked dinner for me. I wanted to help, but she wouldn't let me." "Since Grandma invited you, you don't have to be so cordial. Sit here for a while. I'll go upstairs and change clothes," Lucas absentmindedly spoke before heading upstairs.
He had noticed Melody going upstairs.
Although Stella did not get to take off his clothes, their actions were indeed a tad ambiguous. That woman might have misunderstood them.
Lucas ascended the stairs, pushing the door open and stepping inside.
As soon as he entered the room, he caught sight of Melody emerging from the bathroom, draped only in a bath towel. Her fragrant shoulders and beautiful back radiated a luminous whiteness.
Melody had not expected him to cupstairs and instinctively pulled the towel a bit higher, hands protecting her chest. "You... Why did you cin here?" Lucas snapped back to reality, sneering, "This is my room. Is it strange forto cin?" Melody tried to retort but felt that his statement was not entirely unreasonable.

Indeed, this was Lucas' room, and he had every right to enter. Just because she had seen Stella and adessen Lucas being so intimate downstairs, she assumed they would chat for a while, so she rushed upstairs without changing after her shower. Who would have thought that Lucas would cup so quickly and make things awkward? Melody pursed her lips, unwilling to face Lucas in such attire. Hastily grabbing schange of clothes from the bed, she turned and headed back into the bathroom to get dressed.
Once she changed, Melody emerged with a towel still on her head. Miss Stella is still downstairs. Why did you cup so fast? Don't you need to spend stwith her?" "Oh? Are you so eager forto be with Stella?" Lucas squinted, observing her as she dried her hair.
Seated at the vanity desk, Melody absentmindedly combed her avoiding eye contact expression. Seeing with his om icy together made her quite uncomfortable. It felt like she was being cheated on.
"No, I just thought you two were getting along well just now, and I assumed you must have a lot to talk about. I figured your chat for a while longer;" "Melody said as she chuckled awkwardly. "I thought it would be considerate to go back to my room, not wanting to disturb you and not wanting to be a third wheel." Her words cast a shadow over Lucas' face.
