The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2480

Finally, after a lot of effort, Melody turned around at the entrance of the hospital and said, "I hope you all won't follow us in. There are patients inside, and you'll disturb their rest."

Even when facing the reporters head-on, Lucas still tightly held Melody's hand, and the two never let go of each other's hand for a second.

Fortunately, the reporters had some conscience. Since Melody said so, they naturally stopped following them inside.

However, someone took the opportunity to ask, "Do you two admit to being in a relationship?"

At the same time, the reporters kept zooming in on Melody and Lucas' tightly held hands and taking close-up shots.

"Aren't you reporters good at writing stories based on photos only? Why would you ask me now?" asked Melody with a faint smile. She then pulled Lucas into the hospital. Once the hospital door closed, the reporters could not take any more photos of them.

"Damn. She's certainly become cocky after snagging the President of Rivera Group."

Some reporters were disdainful, not impressed with Melody at all.

"I mean, she couldn't have gotten to where she is now if it weren't for Mister Lucas. And now that cocky b*tch even dares to provoke us."

The male reporters were getting increasingly disrespectful, and a female reporter could not stand it anymore. She scoffed and said, "I'd be cocky too if I'm dating the President of Rivera Group. Why don't you guys try seducing Mister Lucas too if you think you're so capable? Otherwise, stop your b*tching. It's really off-putting."

"Hey, you should be on our side! You're one of us too, so how can you mock us? I can't believe you're actually speaking up for that woman. I just don't understand you."

The female reporter packed up her equipment without even glancing at the man. "I don't judge people based on rumors like you do, so no, I'm not one of you."

The male reporter tried to offer some indirect defense, but someone immediately grabbed his arm. "Don't argue with her, she's from Hyper News, a totally different level than us."

"Pah, isn't Hyper News also a third-rate newspaper? What gives her the right to talk to me so arrogantly?"

Despite his scolding, every reporter there knew that every single one of them would give anything to get into that newspaper.

Once inside the hospital, Melody breathed a sigh of relief. She shook Lucas' hand gently. "I'm sorry. You wouldn't have to go through that if it weren't for me."

Lucas was also quite famous, but he did not like to be in the public eye. Thus, even with the advancement of technology, he only occasionally had a blurry picture circulated on the internet. Even so, the legal team of Rivera Group was not to be underestimated. They always

no

managed to quickly take down his

photos.

Thus, it was quite something that Lucas was willing to be photographed by so many reporters that day for Melody's sake. Lucas would probably be sitting comfortably in his office instead of being questioned by others like a clown if it were not for Melody.

Lucas smiled lightly. "This is nothing.

So what if they took unflattering photos of me? Since the day we decided to move forward in our relationship, we've already foreseen something like this might happen, didn't we? Don't tell me you want to back out now?"

"Of course not just worry that you might feel uncomfortable or upset. But I really didn't expect to be ambushed by the reporters here today in the future, I'll make

sure

you won't appear in front of the

camera again. You protect me, and I

want to protect you too."

Melody looked at Lucas as she spoke, melting Lucas' heart. He quickly leaned in and kissed her on the forehead. "You're not entirely to blame. From now on, I promise I won't let you get caught up in such chaos again."
