Melody relished the meal, as did everyone else. Thalia was the only one who did not eat much. After dinner, Lucas brought Melody up to the second floor. Thalia glared fiercely at them, all while failing to notice Beatrice standing beside her.
"Are you busy right now, Miss Thalia?" Thalia snapped out abruptly from her trance and exchanged the malicious expression on her face for a more innocent one. "What's the matter, Grandma Beatrice? Weren't you going to rest? I'm not busy right now..." Beatrice no longer feigned a smile in front of her. "Perfect. Then cwith me. I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Beatrice led her to the greenhouse where a warm haven promised at least sblooming flowers throughout the year. Thalia knew that Beatrice always had ulterior motives whenever she requested to speak privately, and she was not in the mood to appreciate the flowers as a result.
"May I ask what this is about? If it's not urgent, I'll have to continue practicing my musical notation," she acted as if she were occupied with certain important tasks in the hopes that the old lady would keep the conversation brief or not bother her at all.
"Why don't you return to Molomia if you want to focus on your studies?

Are you saying that you don't wantto stay here? I can leave right now if that's what you want!" Her large eyes flooded with tears, projecting an aggrieved look, but Beatrice was not swayed by her act.

"Lucas isn't around, so you don't need to keep up the act. You and I both know why I'm telling you to return to Molomia. I'm sure you know that it I would be in everyone's best interest if you returned abroad too. "You're only going to suffer if you continue staying in the country. Can't you see the relationship Lucas has with Melody? You shouldn't try to butt in. Frankly speaking, if I were you, I'd choose to leave right now and part on good terms.
"Do you genuinely think that things will work out in your favor if you insist on staying with Lucas? Your biggest ve hurdle will be to get my approval and that of my husband's, but I can tell you right now that we'll never agree to that."
Beatrice had made their stance abundantly clear. All Thalia needed to do was use her inteligence to make a sensible choice, but Thalia continued to play dumb. X
