"Why are you chuckling like that?" asked Melody with a frown.
"It's nothing. Stop being so sensitive," Lucas replied.
Melody lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
"Come on, Sherman, we haven't had a meal together yet. Why not join us?" asked Stella.
Sherman had not eaten either, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Melody was really Lucas' wife.
In the end, everyone gave in to Stella's persuasion, and they all went to a Japanese restaurant not far from the film studio.
When they sat down, Stella quickly squeezed in beside Lucas.
Lucas paused as he sat down, looking across at Melody. To his dismay, she sat expressionless next to Sherman, seemingly unfazed. His expression grew darker, and the atmosphere in the room became more strained.
"It's been a long time since we've been to this restaurant. Lucas, do you remember when we used to come here often when we were kids? This restaurant used to be our favorite. I wonder if it still tastes good now."
Lucas' gaze remained fixed on Melody. He nodded indifferently and would absentmindedly utter a sound from time to time.
"Lucas, you remember! I thought I was the only one who remembered this place," Stella said with an incredibly gentle smile, the blush on her cheeks indicating her inner joy.
Sherman, sitting next to Melody, silently observed them. He would have assumed that Lucas and Stella were a couple if it was his first time meeting them.
Melody kept her head lowered, completely detached from their conversation. It was evident that she was not in a good mood even from looking at the thick mop of hair on her head.
Sherman took the initiative to change the subject, inquiring about their family. "Lucas, it's been a while since I visited your grandparents. How have they been lately? Are they in good health?" "They're doing very well. Thanks for your concern," replied Lucas lightly.
His response was not problematic, but it was as distant as if he were a stranger sitting across from them, showing no warmth at all.
Sherman did not feel any sting in his words. After all, Lucas had always been this aloof since young. "That's great! Please give them my regards. I'll definitely pay them a visit when I'm free," he replied with a smile.
Melody sipped her tea, completely detached from the conversation, feeling like an outsider.

Sherman chuckled somewhat sheepishly. "My work has been keeping me too
busy to look for a relationship. That's why I'm still single."
As he spoke, Sherman subconsciously glanced at Melody.
Lucas chuckled lightly, his lips curving with a meaningful smile. "Maybe Melody
can introduce you to someone. Right, Melody?"
The way Lucas pronounced Melody's name sent shivers down her spine.
