The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2516

"Why do you have to intervene so much? You know very well that sometimes too much interference isn't good either."

"It's easy for you to say, but you also know my personality. How can I sit back and do nothing when that woman obviously has ill intentions toward my grandson and granddaughter-in-law? That woman is much more scheming than she appears. It's not the first time I've warned her. Last time, she even spiked Lucas' milk with sleeping pills! Who knows what else she could've done if we didn't replace out in time?"

This caught Amber by surprise. "No wonder you were so harsh with her. You're right. You can't let that evil woman near them. But from what I see, the bond between Lucas and Melody seems quite strong. It won't be that easy for an outsider to break them up."

Beatrice nodded in satisfaction. "Their relationship seems to have improved a lot recently. When Lucas first brought Melody home, they were so stiff with each other, thinking we wouldn't see through them! But you know that third parties always see things more clearly.

"I'm very pleased with Melody, but if Lucas doesn't like her, there's nothing we can do. So I'm very happy to see them getting on so well with each other. Now all I have to do is wait for their good news. It'll be s wonderful if a baby comes along.

"Of course, Melody is an actress, and they're still young. I'm sure they want to pursue their careers for a few more years, and that's entirely up to them."

Amber finally relaxed her brows after seeing Beatrice so happy. "Exactly. I know you're worrying for the sake of them, but you should do it less since their relationship is improving. If you won't do it for them, then at least do it for me. I hope to have many more years gossiping with you."

Beatrice smiled softly. "Of course."

Melody did not feel drunk. She just felt a bit dizzy.

'Why... Why are there two Lucases standing in front of me? And why does he keep on teasing me with that glass of red wine?'

"Ah, so do you still want to drink?" asked Lucas.

Melody stared at the wine glass with watery eyes.

Lucas did not realize Melody was such a lightweight. Her eyes were fixed on the drink as if just a sip was not enough, insisting on having more.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me drink? You still have so much left

though." Melody's tone grew more aggrieved as she spoke, feeling Lucas was being stingy. Her eyes were even turning slightly red with emotion.

Afraid that she might actually start crying, Lucas quickly brought the glass to her lips.

"Here!"

Melody grabbed the wine glass from Lucas' hand and downed the whole drink in one gulp, leaving Lucas feeling a bit worried.

"Take it easy. If you like it, there's plenty more at home. But you can't drink anymore today. You'll only get dizzier if you drink too much." Melody was indeed drunk, feeling dizzy all over.

Lucas was worried that she might feel worse if she stayed longer, so he took her straight back to their room.

Even Beatrice noticed their commotion and entered the room to check on Melody.

"Lucas, really? You know Melody

can't handle alcohol. Why did you let

K so much? It's just et

her family

at home today, so no need

to be so serious about it."
