The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Melody smiled and said, "I wouldn't say I suffered that much. Lucas probably had it worse than I did. He had to travel to and from home just to take care of me. You can see he lost weight."
"Sigh! When will you learn not to keep all the pain and suffering to yourself? You need to show a little bit of weakness in front of men, if you get what I mean. Lucas is my grandson, so I know him better than anyone. Two hard-headed people will have trouble communicating with each other," said Beatrice.
She then added, "Don't you think it'd be much better if you could speak with each other in a nicer tone instead of arguing all the time? The key to communicating as a couple is to be tactful. He didn't let me and Cedric take care of you because he was worried for our health, and I decided that I shouldn't bother you so you can have some time to be alone with each other."
"But I'm happy to have you and Grandpa Cedric around. It doesn't bother me at all. Lucas and I will always welcome you with open arms," Melody insisted, her voice sincere. Cedric and Beatrice had been so kind to her, and they would never be bothered by her.
"I know what you're trying to say. We wouldn't have allowed you to be with Lucas if we didn't know the kind of person you were. Speaking of which, you were keeping your sadness to yourself when you came back and saw Thalia again, didn't you?"
Melody bit her lower lip at the mention of that name and did not know how to react. Nothing could escape the old couple. Beatrice understood Melody well, and Melody's sad response should not come as a surprise after Thalia had shown up there.
"I told Lucas not to tell you about this in advance," Beatrice said, surprising Melody with that statement. She had initially thought that Lucas hid it from her. "Why not?"
Melody found it perplexing. She would have been so surprised if she knew about it in advance, and she would at least be somewhat mentally prepared to face the situation.
"I know what you're thinking, but we were more concerned about your health than anything else. You were well on the way toward recovering, and telling you this is only going to make you worry. Would you be able to control yourself from overthinking back at the hospital if I had allowed Lucas to tell you about it?"
There was a smug little smile on Beatrice's face. She was concerned about Melody's health more than anything, even though she knew that Melody might be a little surprised to come home and find out about it. Even so, it was better than letting Melody worry too much while at her weakest.
"You're right, Grandma, but I..." Melody did not want to project herself as being too petty. After all, she knew very well that the connection between her and Lucas was just a contract.
