NovelEnglishChapter 1924 Melody immediately pulled the nearby blanket to cover herself. "You... Why did you cin without knocking?!" "Ahem. As I remember, this is my room." "Oh, I..." Melody just realized that she was in Lucas' room. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize! I thought that with Grandpa and Grandma back, they might get suspicious if we continue to sleep in separate bedrooms..." Melody felt the guilt bubbling in her chest as she rambled to explain herself.
Lucas closed the door and leaned against it. He narrowed his eyes on her and said, "I see you've thought it through. You're right. I'll knock in the future." "And I'll lock the door when I'm changing," said Melody as she laid down the blanket, straightened her clothes, and stood up.
She looked at the large bed hesitantly. "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. You can have the bed." Lucas smiled faintly. "Why should we sleep separately? Didn't you just tell Grandma that you'll put in seffort to give her a great-grandchild?" Blushing again at the mention of the earlier conversation, Melody stammered, "I... I was just saying that to get them off our case! Besides, we're not really planning to have children, right?" Lucas found her blushing face to be particularly adorable. Suddenly in the mood to tease Melody, he narrowed his eyes mischievously, walked up to her slowly, and leaned over her.

Shaking off those thoughts, Melody pushed him away and took a few deep breaths to regain her composure. "Lucas, please, show srestraint! We're not really married, remember? This is all just a business arrangement." Her reaction left Lucas unimpressed. He scoffed lightly, then turned and left.
Melody stared at his retreating figure with a frown. 'What the hell is wrong with this guy?' she thought to herself. After locking the door, Melody finally felt comfortable enough to change her clothes. Just as she finished changing, her phone began to ring.
She went to grab her phone and saw it was her father calling. This was one of those calls she least wanted to answer, but he was her biological father, and she could not possibly ignore him.
Melody went to the balcony to answer the call.
"Hey, Dad. What's up?" "Melody, you're such an ingrate!" scolded Ethan immediately.
Melody's heart sank. As expected, there could be no good news whenever her family looked for her.
"Well, Dad, if you only callto blabber at me... I'm just going to hang up," said Melody.
