NovelEnglishChapter 1922 "Luckily, Chloe's guilty conscience kicked in, or I'd be the one heading to the police station right now!" As she spoke, Melody met Lucas's gaze.
For sreason, Melody felt that there was something different from the way Lucas looked at her than before. Feeling a bit uneasy under his intense stare, Melody swiftly changed the subject. "Well, Lucas, don't you think you owean apology for thinking I'm guilty?" Lucas turned to look at Melody, who was indeed unique from the others. Apart from Corinne, no one had dared to ask for an apology from him.
Nevertheless, he almost fell for Chloe's deceit and wronged Melody.
"Sorry," Lucas said impassively. He then turned and headed upstairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was not the most formal apology, but it was already a significant gesture for Lucas. Honestly, Melody had not expected him to apologize at all. With a slightly changed view of him, she thought Lucas must be hungry after rushing home, so she decided to cook him something.
After Melody finished cooking, she made her way to the study upstairs. She gently knocked on the door and said, "Lucas, lunch is ready. Let's eat together." A minute later, Lucas opened the door with a stern expression. He followed her downstairs silently.
Melody had already placed all the food on the table in the dining room.
"These are sof my go-to dishes. Give them a try. If they're not to your liking, feel free to share your preferences. I can tailor my cooking to your taste in the future." "We have a maid. You don't need to do this," Lucas remarked indifferently as he picked up his fork and knife to eat his food.
Beatrice had said something similar to her before. It seemed everyone was telling her that everything in the Riveras' residence was already taken care of and that she was not needed.
However, what else could she do if not cooking? It would not be appropriate for her to be a freeloader in her husband's family.
"I find joy in cooking during my free time. It's a nice way to pass the time!" Melody shared as she began her meal.
Throughout lunch, Lucas remained mostly silent, but he did eat a fair amount.
'Seems like he likes my cooking,' Melody mused.
That afternoon, Melody prepared a meal and brought it to the hospital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDuring the visit, she shared the details of Chloe's misdeeds with Cedric and Beatrice.
When Beatrice learned that Chloe had concocted the schout of C jealousy, Beatrice shorted disdainfully. "What was she thinking? Does she really believe just anyone can marry into the family?!"
Melody's smile faltered slightly, and she lowered her gaze. Apart from her family name, she and Chloe were essentially the same. Perhaps, in Beatrice's heart, she was not the most suitable wife for Lucas either.
It was fine, though. This marriage would only last for a year. After that, she would have no connection with the Riveras anymore.
"Grandpa, Grandma, give it a try. Do you like them? I didn't leave the kitchen at all this tso there m shouldn't be any issues with the food." Melody handed the utensils to Cedric and Beatrice. She paid the utmost attention to them while they slowly ate the food she cooked. Cedric and Beatrice both enjoyed the meal Melody had brought. They found them perfect to their taste.
