NovelEnglishHaving thought it over, Lucas decided it was better to wait until the evidence was directly before her eyes before revealing the truth. The image of Melody's expression appeared in Lucas' mind, which elicited a smirk as he sped up his driving.
Lucas merely glanced at the phone on the passenger seat. Her deceitful words had cast doubt on everything that cout of her mouth, and he felt that there was no need to engage with her any longer when he already had the evidence at hand.

"Go to hell! All of you! Go to hell!" Lucas had refused her advances even when Stella had already done all that she could to bring him into the bedroom! Melody had to be causing trouble again. That was the only explanation for Lucas' abrupt departure! Her gaze shifted to his suit jacket on the sofa, which he had forgotten to take with him. A nasty plan hatched in her mind.
[Is Lucas hyet? He left his suit jacket with me. He must've forgotten to take it because of how exhausted he is. I'll return it another day when I have the time. Please remind him for me. I won't call him since I'm pretty sure he might be driving right now.] The accompanying picture showed Stella with Lucas' suit jacket, prompting Melody to gasp sharply as she received the message.
'Did their relationship go that far already? A date followed by a return to Stella's hafter the meal? That explains why Lucas was so secretive about his plans. He was having an affair with another woman! Even if our relationship is based on a mere contract, he should at least show sbasic decency to communicate this to me!' Melody felt like a complete fool. She had been waiting patiently for Lucas to return, only to find out that he was with another woman. She had even helped him to lie to his grandparents and tell them that he was at work when he was with Stella.
That was not even the worst part-Stella was likely the one who set her up! Melody stared at the message and declined to reply. She had nothing to say to Stella, and she was not their intermediary either. Stella had no reason to share those details with her.
It was just a suit jacket. Lucas had more of them, and the loss of a suit jacket did not mean much to him. Melody knew exactly what Stella was trying to imply, and Stella had such bragging rights after spending all that twith him.

Melody was in agony and wished that none of it had happened.
Stella felt an increased sense of triumph when she saw that the message had been read but leftm unanswered. She reckoned that Melody was furious. 'Served her right!' Stella thought. Pissing off Melody brought great satisfaction to Stella.
Melody ought to know long ago that Lucas could never belong to her. She had overestimated her abilities, and it was tto let Lucas go.
Stella smirked and relished the idea of reclaiming what was rightfully hers. She placed her phone down and was content at having vented her frustration at Lucas' abrupt departure. She then headed to the bathroom and prepared to soothe her tired body with a bath. Search the Findwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
