Lucas glanced over and did not seem bothered that Thalia remained at the door of the house. He was holding a small luggage bag filled mostly with Melody's belongings and only about two or three sets of clothes. When Thalia extended her hand to take it, he skillfully avoided her and handed it to the servant who had cto assist him. "It's too heavy. You won't be able to lift it." Thalia pouted and expressed ssympathy for him. "Why do your grandparents seem more interested in Melody's well-being, rather than yours? They didn't even wait to welcyou. It saddensa little, actually." Lucas did not understand why Thalia felt saddened by that. He chat least once every two days, and his grandparents were likely not that excited to see him around. Besides, there was no point for either of them to stand at the gate and brave the cold wind. His grandparents were old, and Melody had just recovered too. He considered Thalia to be a bit sensitive, but he chose not to dwell on it.

Thalia harbored hopes of having salone twith Lucas as the old couple's scrutinizing gaze at hmade her suffocate. After all, she knew that they did not want her to have anything to do with Lucas.
Thalia scoffed at their efforts, determined never to give up on Lucas. She vowed to make the old couple understand eventually that she was the one truly suited for him.
As Lucas and Thalia entered the house, Melody was already savoring her meal. She turned and said excitedly to Lucas, "The clams today are super fresh! You should try them!" Melody then turned to Thalia and seemed to speak in a more reticent tone. "Join us, Miss Thalia. The clams are very fresh." Thalia smiled faintly and said, "Really? Well, you should go ahead and indulge yourself then. I already had my fill a few days ago when you weren't at home, and I had regular access to all this seafood because my place is near the coastline!"

The implication of her words was clear-that Melody had little experience with such delicacies. Melody did not think too much about that remark, but Beatrice frowned when she heard that.

I had Lynette serve them. Cover and have stoo. I'll keep an eye on Melody so she doesn't overeat." Melody pouted. She knew that Beatrice would monitor her food intake when Lucas was around.
"Seafood might not be the best for your health right now, so just have enough to satisfy your cravings," said Lucas as he approached Melody.
"Okay," Melody nodded, acknowledging his advice. "I'll have one more serving at most. Grandma prepared a lot of food for later."
Melody smiled when Lucas gave in. After all, a bland diet,ha diet had beenam struggle forher during the past few days. X
