The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Lucas nodded somewhat helplessly, but seeing Melody so happy, his mood lifted as well. At that moment, he could not foresee how Melody's emotions might affect him in the future. "Since you've asked so nicely, I guess I've no choice but to relent. Come on, change into something casual. Let's go home."
Melody was ecstatic all the way, and even when they reached the entrance of their mansion, her face still bore a bright smile. She was eager to get inside.
"It's only been a little over ten days since I was last home, but it feels a bit unfamiliar already," she remarked.
Lucas reached over to unbuckle her seatbelt. "No need to be so dramatic. You'll see that nothing has changed once you get out of the car."
Melody did not take his remark to heart, given the good mood she was in. At that point, she had not realized that she already considered Lucas' home as her own. "Oh, Melody, you're back?"
Melody was thrown off by a girl's voice, and her smile faltered. She instinctively turned to Lucas, attempting to find answers on his face.
'Why is Thalia staying here?'
Lucas was somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?" Weren't you happy just a moment ago?"
Just moments ago, she was as happy as a wild horse released from its reins. He even unbuckled her seatbelt for her.
'Why does she seem so upset right now?"
Thalia walked up to Melody haughtily. "It's been a while, Melody. How's your health?"
Melody forced a smile. "I'm getting better. Thalia, this is—"
"Oh! Are you wondering why I'm here? I'll be staying for quite a while for my trip back this time, so Lucas suggested I stay here. It's more convenient to have someone to look after me. I'm not familiar with life here, and Lucas is the only support I have here, so I can only stay here. Sorry, Melody, for not telling you beforehand."
Lucas intervened to explain, "I forgot to tell you. I've been staying with you at the hospital all these days. I thought I'd tell you when you got home. I guess it must've slipped my mind as I've gotten so caught up with the medical checkups."
Melody nodded expressionlessly. With Lucas busy arranging a full-body checkup for her these past few days, it was understandable that he might forget other things.
'But couldn't he have told me a bit earlier? How am I supposed to be happy after finally being allowed to come home and find another girl living here?'
Lucas, sensing Melody's altered mood, frowned.
Thalia seemed uneasy and took a couple of steps back. "I'm sorry, Melody, it was quite sudden. I've been here for over ten days now. Once I find a place, I'll move out..."
Melody did not want to give a reply because Thalia's words seemed to imply that she was being asked to leave.
Lucas tried to smooth over the situation. "Alright, let's go inside! Grandpa and Grandma should be in the living room."
