The Day I Kissed An Older Man

"Are you really Lucas? Is today April Fool's Day? Is that why you're here to tease
me? Are there hidden cameras? Please don't lie to me, Lucas. Please, or I'll
really believe you..."
Melody grabbed Lucas' hand. Her series of questions tugged at Lucas' heartstrings.
"Silly girl. Of course I'm serious."
After Lucas spoke, tears finally welled up in Melody's eyes.
For the past few days, she had cried and carried all her grievances alone. Beatrice and Cedric believed in her, and she had friends silently supporting her, but what she had not verbalized was what she truly needed-Lucas' care and trust.
She never imagined Lucas would say those words to her. Her grievances were finally being acknowledged. He said he believed her.
Lucas held Melody silently as she cried. At the same time, he recalled the events that transpired.
"There's something I haven't told you yet. Back in my student days, Thalia's sister and I were kidnapped by someone. While the kidnappers targeted me alone, Thalia's sister got involved because of me. Eventually, her sister lost her life because of it, and it was her sister who saved me.
"I've been carrying this guilt with me all along. When I saw Thalia lying there motionless, it reminded me of that day with her sister, and I deeply regretted that I failed to save her sister back then. My mind was in chaos, and that was why I spoke harshly to you. I'm sorry. No matter what, I shouldn't have blamed you because of my own guilt."
Melody looked up at Lucas. "You've hardly ever told me about your past..."
She did not dare to speculate on Lucas' intentions. Did this mean she was getting closer to him?
Lucas lowered his head, looked into her eyes, and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"Are you cold? Let's go to bed. We have plenty of time. If you want to know, I'll tell you slowly in the future."
Lucas scooped Melody up and carried her to bed.
Melody snuggled into his arms. Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to say, "I want to know everything about you."
"Then why didn't you ask me before? If you had asked, I would've told you."

Melody lowered her gaze and played with the buttons on Lucas' shirt, "m didn't ask because thought you wouldn't want to tell me. I hoped that you'd willingly include me in your world, rather than me insisting on it." Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
Lucas sighed inwardly, knowing that Melody still did not feel secure with him. However, they had plenty of time ahead of them, and he would make it up to Melody in time.

"Do you still want to know about
Thalia?" This time, without waiting for Melody to nod, Lucas continued m don't want to deceive you. I just
found out about Thalia's feelings for me. But I have no ulterior motives
toward her. I only take care of her
because of my guilt toward her sister. Do you believe me?" Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Melody did not give him a direct
answer, but deep down, she knewm liked the
that if Lucas really Thalia, he
would not be saying these things to her and being with her like this. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest

Besides, he and Thalia had known each other for so many years. If there were
feelings, they would have been together long ago.
"So... I'm the one you want to be with?"
