The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas did not return the entire night, and Melody was unsure how she eventually fell asleep.
The following morning, she came down and saw Edmund. In the meantime, Beatrice was having breakfast at the nearby dining table and offered a smile when Melody descended. Edmund greeted Melody respectfully, too.
"Edmund? Why are you here at this hour?" Melody asked, puzzled. Under normal circumstances, Edmund was always with Lucas and rarely visited the home.
Edmund nodded slightly and replied, "He flew abroad last night. I'm here to pack up his belongings and catch a nine o'clock flight."
'He went abroad?' Melody was stunned, but she soon nodded and chose not to dwell on it. Once Edmund noticed that Melody was up, he immediately went up the stairs to collect Lucas' luggage. Lucas had departed without informing Melody, which greatly displeased Beatrice. However, she concealed her anger in Melody's presence. Adding discord to their already-delicate relationship would not be a wise choice.
Lucas' obliviousness baffled Beatrice, and she could not understand why he would leave the country at such a time. His departure would only widen the rift between them and exacerbate their already strained relationship.
When Melody sat down for breakfast, Beatrice served her attentively.
Melody kept quiet, but she knew that Lucas left the country because of that phone call, and not because of her. That thought brought unspeakable unease, and she shook her head to try and avoid thinking about him. She did not seem to have any appetite and said that she was full, even though she had not eaten much.
Beatrice looked at her in concern, knowing that she was the kind to suppress whatever was bothering her.
Concerned that Melody would not be able to handle all that pent-up sadness, Beatrice was just about to advise her when Melody stood up abruptly and announced that she was heading to the film set. Beatrice, worried for her
granddaughter-in-law, instructed the servant to prepare some snacks out of worry that Melody might go hungry during her time at work.
Melody smiled, then bid farewell to them. However, the smile faded from her face as she turned away.
Even Cedric began to worry about Melody's relationship with Lucas. It was unbecoming of him to just take a flight abroad after the impasse with Melody.
However, neither he nor Beatrice were in a position to intervene. They could only remind Edmund to convey their wish for Lucas to return soon and not remain outside of the country after discussing business. Edmund merely nodded. He found it inappropriate to inform the old couple of Lucas' matters, and the most he could do was relay their message to him.
