The Day I Kissed An Older Man

After the particular incident, Thalia had spent some time with Beatrice, and she found it difficult to get along with her. Beatrice even commented that she had changed. The comment unsettled Thalia for many years, prompting her to
escape abroad after only a few days in the city.
After all these years, returning home still brought a sense of unease. Somehow, she had a gut feeling that it would still be challenging to get along with Beatrice. Seeing Thalia genuinely nervous, Lucas suggested postponing the visit.
Thalia forced a smile and said, "It's okay. Grandpa and Grandma will be happier if I visit them as soon as I land. Otherwise, it might seem impolite. Besides, I just got back, and I don't know where to stay. So can I stay at your place for now?"
Thalia wanted to see how Lucas and Melody lived together. She hoped to understand, through these subtle clues, just how important Melody was to Lucas.
Lucas fell into a thoughtful silence, seemingly hesitant, at Thalia's request to stay with him.
"I have another place. How about you stay there? It might be more comfortable for you to stay there since you seem like you're worried about Grandma."
Thalia pursed her lips, somewhat displeased.
"Lucas, do you not want me to be a part of your life? Or is it because you have Melody now that you don't care about me anymore? I thought my trip back this time would bring us closer..."
Both Thalia's words and tone expressed her yearning for Lucas.
However, Lucas did not entertain any romantic thoughts for her. All he had for her was a sense of responsibility.
Thalia had just returned to the city, and she did not know many people there. Thus, he was somewhat worried about letting her stay alone.
"Alright, you can stay at the house for now. There are plenty of rooms," said Lucas softly.
"Yay! That settles it, then! Lucas, make sure you put in a good word for me to Grandma later," chirped Thalia.
"Sure."
Thalia mentally prepared herself before getting out of the car, but as she approached the door with her belongings, she could not shake the nervous feeling.
Just when she hesitated about whether to come back another time, Beatrice and Cedric spotted Lucas from inside the house.

about Melody.
