NovelEnglishChapter 2062 "I heard that you're quite famous right now," remarked Beatrice.
Many distinguished families frowned upon the entertainment industry, assuming it was filled with debauchery.
Stella immediately waved her hand and said with fake modesty, "No, I'm not really that famous. I'm just lucky, I guess." She hooked a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Also, Lucas often helpsout in managing the relationship with the people in the industry. It's only through his efforts that I've managed to get to where I am right now. Madam Beatrice, rest assured that I don't really mix around with the people in my industry unless necessary. In fact, I spend most of my free tat home." "That's enough," said Beatrice with a haughty smile. "I was just asking. You didn't need to explain so much! In fact, I don't have any biases against actors or actresses. After all, my granddaughter-in-law, Melody, is now a very talented actress herself. I'm eagerly waiting for her film to be released! "By the way, did you notice the interaction between Lucas and Melody just now? They are a very loving couple, and no outside interference from any misguided women can affect their relationship." The phrase 'misguided women' was obviously aimed at Stella, but she pretended not to understand. "Madam Beatrice, I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at..." "You're a smart girl, Miss Stella. Many things in life can't be forced. I called you here to talk about this, hoping you won't get caught up in unnecessary complications." Beatrice could not have made it more clear, but Stella continued to act as if she did not understand.

"Madam Beatrice, I think you've misunderstood. Lucas and I are good friends, and I have a great relationship with Melody as well. Really!" She nodded eagerly to emphasize her sincerity.
Perhaps someone else might have believed her, but Beatrice certainly did not.
Beatrice had seen through Stella, but she merely smiled faintly. "Miss Stella, I wanted to give you a way to back out with your pride intact, but it seems like you don't appreciate the gesture at all. Anyone with eyes can see you're wishing to steal Lucas away from Melody.
"I warn you now: If you insist on stealing something that isn't yours, the cost won't just be a hurt tongue. Don't blme for stepping in on Melody's behalf if you insist on doing something disagreeable." The Riveras' garden faced a stretch of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, offering them a perfect view of Lucas and Melody.
After eating, Melody would usually take a stroll in the garden to aid digestion. However, she could not do that then since Beatrice and Stella were there.
Lucas was sitting with her on the living room sofa, engaging in a conversation that seemed somewhat disconnected. Despite Lucas' cold expression, his actions contradicted his demeanor.
His fingers once again toyed with Melody's hand. In a low voice, he remarked, "Why are your hands so small?"

Although Melody grumbled, she remembered they were still acting and refrained from pulling her hand back from his palm.
Lucas' hands were indeed large, dry yet warm. His one large hand could hold both of her hands. His fingers were slender with distinct joints. She thought they would be perfect at playing the piano. Melody lowered her head, earnestly staring at his large hand. She had forgotten that her flushed ears were perfectly within Lucas' view.
Finding it amusing, Lucas reached out with his other hand and touched the tip of her ear Melody jumped up in shock and beceven more flustered. W-What are you doing?' X
