The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melody gazed at Cedric, who had just finished his bowl of lime sorbet and was delicately wiping the corners of his mouth. He nodded to his wife's observation. "Don't worry, Melody. Your grandma and I stand by you. We know that you're not that kind of person. We've seen this sort of thing a lot already."
Melody then turned to Beatrice, noticing not a single hint of blame in her expression-only genuine concern that brought tears to Melody's eyes. She felt incredibly fortunate to have encountered the old couple, but she felt a simultaneous pang of disappointment settling in.
The interactions with Lucas' grandparents felt remarkably different from her interaction with Lucas. They unconditionally chose to believe in her, yet Lucas could not even show her the courtesy to try and understand her situation.
A sigh escaped her lips.
Beatrice's dissatisfaction with Lucas grew evident, and she was clearly
displeased with her grandson's inability to comprehend a woman's heart. When it came to such matters, trust was the key to ensuring they could go through such a situation.
Without a fundamental level of trust, proceeding any further would be downright impossible. They had both watched the video, and there was nothing out of line with it.
Lucas should have long grasped the unique nature of the industry that Melody had delved into to become an actress. He supported her entrance into showbiz, so his mental fortitude needed to be done properly.
Melody might have to deal with on-screen romances with other actors. Were he to erupt in anger every time, then the foundation that formed the basis of their relationship would only erode over time. "Thank you so much for putting your trust in me. It means a lot. Thank you," Melody said as she gripped Beatrice's hand firmly.
Tears were streaming down Melody's face.
Beatrice felt a surge of distress at Melody's vulnerability, and she wondered why a good child had to face all those challenges in her pursuit of a career.
"Of course. Your grandfather and I trust you-not just as an actress, but as a person! Be confident, Melody! You're more than worth our trust."
Melody was incredibly moved by Beatrice's words, and therein she sensed the stark contrast with Lucas.
Whenever adversity struck, her grandparents stood by her and offered unconditional trust and support. However, Lucas did not. Melody wondered if Lucas had no trust in her whatsoever. 'Did he believe she would frolic around with other men? Or did he view her as being expendable?'
Seeing Melody's somber expression, Beatrice suggested that she head upstairs to rest after finishing the lime sorbet. "Now that you're done with your sorbet, you should go to your room and take a nap. I'll have the nanny call you once dinner is ready."
Melody nodded. "Okay. I'll head up soon."
Beatrice watched as Melody went up the stairs.

As soon as Melody was out of earshot, Beatrice turned to Cedric
and said, "Lucas upset Melody again! "Lucas upset Me I don't understand what on earth he's
doing! Why can't he appreciate her more? All he does is make things more difficult! I'll give him a good scolding when he returns." Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Cedric remained silent. He perceived his grandson's impulsiveness but felt it was primarily directed at Melody. It might be rash, but it was not as if Lucas routinely made such decisions. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Lucas' actions might seem erratic, but Cedric hoped that Lucas would be rational in such matters: After all, Lucas was navigating marriage for the first time, and there was a need for both parties to exercise tolerance. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
