Chapter 1951

Melody felt a little awkward as she recalled Lucas' curt words to Sherman. The inferiority that she felt around Sherman during high school only intensified."Why are you alone? Where's Lucas?" Sherman was a little surprised to see Melody by herself, but his graceful smile quickly returned.Melody reciprocated with a smile and said, "Lucas is chatting with a friend, so I decided to go for a walk on my own.""A friend... Are you referring to Stella?" Sherman asked pensively.Melody's expression soured at the mention of Stella's name. It seemed all too clear that Stella was indeed Lucas' childhood sweetheart. Otherwise, those around him—say, his cousin Sherman—would not have made the association that it was Stella right off the bat."You met her already, I take it?" Sherman went forward. "She's a celebrity with plenty of fans."Melody nodded. "I have. She's beautiful, but I didn't recognize her at first glance because I don't usually keep up with the entertainment news.""If I reme

Melody hesitated to enter the car. It was only when the car behind honked at Sherman that she hopped in. "Sorry," she mumbled."You don't need to apologize. It's not like you did anything wrong," Sherman reassured her as he continued to drive. "Let me send you home. Did you move in with Lucas, or are you staying at the Riveras' estate?"Melody froze as she adjusted her skirt and said with a smile, "At the Riveras' estate. You should know where it is, right? You can just drop me there.""Yeah," Sherman answered with a wry smile. The remaining journey was silent, up until they reached the destination.Sherman parked the car and suggested, "Let's exchange numbers. It'd be great if we could grab coffee sometime in the future."Melody nodded and exchanged numbers with him.Sherman tucked his phone away and said with a smile. "It was good seeing you today, Melody. Take care."Melody waved goodbye and went into the Riveras' estate.Sherman felt a combination of bitterness and regret a

Lucas had to have a soft spot for Stella. They were childhood sweethearts after all, and his entire demeanor toward her was a stark contrast to his distant attitude with Melody.The thought of that left Melody feeling downcast. She viewed the Riveras' estate as a temporary place to stay, as she would end that marriage and leave Lucas forever after a year."What's gotten you so lost in thought, Melody?" Beatrice's question snapped Melody back to reality.Melody forced a smile. "Oh, umm… Nothing much, Grandma. I was just thinking about what I should cook for breakfast tomorrow.""As much as I love your delightful cooking, you shouldn't trouble yourself with these duties. Lucas married you because he wants to give you a good life," Beatrice stated earnestly.Melody was a responsible young woman, but Beatrice could not bear to see her doing those duties at home. After all, the Riveras did hire servants to do all that.Melody understood that Beatrice did not want her to toil at home,

Melody rubbed her temples as she sat on the sofa. She felt drained, and she was just about to close her eyes for a moment's rest when her phone buzzed with a message.Thinking it was a reply from Lucas, she opened her eyes slowly and picked up the phone.[Hey, Melody. Have you slept?] The message was from Sherman, rather than Lucas.She typed back in a neutral reply. [Not yet, but soon. Thanks for sending me back today.][You're welcome. We should keep in touch. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.]Melody stared at the phone for a while and sent a polite emoji in response before setting it aside.She was not naive. Sherman's attitude toward her during their encounter felt like more than just friendly nostalgia. Alas, she was in no position to reciprocate.All of a sudden, the sound of a car engine resonated through the silent night. Melody got up and walked toward the balcony.Lucas had returned, and she wondered if he had seen her message. Beatrice was still waiting d

"I don't usually meddle in other people's business, but you're now married, and Melody is my granddaughter-in-law. I have to speak up for her," Beatrice rarely spoke with such sternness toward Lucas. "Do you know how she returned home today?"Lucas could not understand why she was asking that question. "Didn't Edmund send her back?"Beatrice scoffed. "Edmund? Don't try to fool me! She returned in another man's car. One of our maids happened to see that and relayed that information to me! How could you let your wife take a ride home with someone else?"Lucas frowned, wondering who it was that sent Melody back if it was not Edmund. It later struck him that it could have been Sherman. The thought made him incredibly unhappy. That woman had disregarded everything he said to her and continued to interact with Sherman!"Melody is a woman. You married her, so you must respect her! Never let anyone else send her home again. She's your wife, which means she's your responsibility," Beatrice

"Sherman is my senior in school. Can't an old schoolmate offer me a ride home? It's late, and Edmund has got off work. I'm not his boss, so I can't ask him to specially come and give me a ride."Melody found that Lucas' attitude was unreasonable, so she did not explain to him nicely.Lucas scoffed and said, "Old schoolmate? Are you sure that he's only an old schoolmate? May I remind you, Melody, you're no longer single during the contract period, so you should be mindful of your actions and keep a distance from other men!"Melody frowned. "Well, I didn't do anything inappropriate, and it's not like I cheated on you! On the other hand, Lucas, weren't you the one who left me behind to send another woman home? If anyone's being inappropriate here, it's you!"Lucas could not argue with that.A silence fell over them. Feeling awkward, Melody tried to smooth things out."Lucas, I don't want to argue with you. I just hope you could put yourself in my shoes, and be mindful of your action

Melody had been sending out many resumes, but no one responded to her applications."Why is it so hard to get a job?!" grumbled Melody as she looked at her empty inbox.She laid down on the bed and scrolled through her friend list on the phone.Thanks to Wendy, Melody did not have many friends during her student days. After she graduated, only a few of them kept in touch with her. The closest friend she had was a girl named Mabel Lowe who used to work on group projects with her in college. Both of them kept in touch with each other occasionally.Melody tapped on Mabel's name in the chatbox. After a short hesitation, she sent a message to her.[Are you there?][What's up, old friend?] Mabel replied shortly.[Are you free to meet up?][Sure! I've got plenty of free time!]They chatted for a while and decided to meet for lunch.The thought of meeting a friend cheered Melody slightly. She decided to dress up a little for the occasion.When she opened her closet, she found many b

Mabel was aware of how Melody's mother abused her trust many times. Back at college, Mabel had tried to help Melody several times, but it was all for naught."Everything's fine. I've moved out from home. Sorry to say, but that's why I asked you out today. I was wondering if you could do me a favor…" said Melody embarrassedly.Melody did not really have any freedom when she was staying with the Sanders, so she seldom contacted Mabel. However, when she needed help, the only person she could think of was this friend whom she rarely kept in touch with. As ashamed and awkward as she felt, she knew she had no choice."Nothing to be sorry about! What do you have in mind? I'll help if I can!" Mabel looped her arm with Melody and led her into the restaurant.After they were seated in the restaurant, Melody passed the menu to Mabel and said, "Order whatever you like, Mabel. This meal is on me."Mabel thus ordered a few dishes that she wanted. "So, what is it that you want me to do for you,

Melody's application had been accepted, and she was invited to their interview!She was extremely happy to see the interview request. Even though it was only an interview, at least she received an actual response this time.This was a chance of a lifetime for Melody, so she had to make sure that she was physically and mentally ready for it. She took out what little savings she had to go shopping at the mall nearby.The clothes Beatrice prepared for her were too luxurious and glamorous, so she could not wear them for the interview. Not wasting any time, Melody said goodbye to Beatrice and went out alone.She walked around the mall and saw a decent suit. She tried it on and it was perfect. However, it was quite pricey, so she deliberated on whether to buy it.Suddenly, she heard a familiar yet loathsome voice."Hey, isn't that my dear sister Melody?"Melody frowned. She turned around and saw Wendy, who was surrounded by her group of girl friends.Melody never heard from the Sande

Wendy's friends began to snicker between themselves when they saw what happened.Wendy finally realized that Melody had just embarrassed her. She stomped, swearing that she would teach that little b*tch a lesson next time.…The next morning, Melody woke up early to dress up for the interview. She then went downstairs in her new suit."You're early today, Melody. Going somewhere?" Beatrice looked at her dotingly and noticed her new suit. "Oh, you look smart today, dear. Are you meeting up with friends? Well, you young ladies should dress up more often!""Grandma, I actually have a job interview today," answered Melody bashfully. She then looked at the time and said, "It's almost time. I need to go now, Grandma. Can't be late for the interview! I'll talk to you again when I'm back!""An interview? Let the chauffeur drive you there then!" Beatrice did not stop Melody from going to an interview, but she insisted on getting the chauffeur to take her there.Melody wanted to decline,
