All Chapters of The Day I Kissed An Older Man: Chapter 2291 - Chapter 2300

"That's how it should be. Let's go. I've asked Lynette to make some of your favorite food. You probably don't have much of an appetite since you just came back from the hospital, so how about a bit of oatmeal first," Beatrice asked as she led Melody to the dining area.Lucas, however, stopped her and said, "That might cause bloating. You'd still want her to eat dinner, don't you? You said it yourself that she doesn't have much of an appetite now. The oatmeal might be a little too heavy for her. Something lighter would be better for now."He managed Melody's meals during her hospital stay and knew that her appetite had changed due to her health condition. Aside from no longer being able to indulge in her favorite sweet and spicy dishes, she would easily get full even with a small-portioned meal. Lucas had to coax her into eating more during their time at the hospital. The memory of spending time alone with him in the hospital room made her feel a little awkward and uncomfortable.Bea

Beatrice immediately grasped Melody's gripe. Thalia's presence in the house did not bother Melody much—it was Lucas' lack of consideration in neglecting her feelings that did not sit well with her. Furthermore, Thalia's several years' worth of friendship with Lucas dampened Melody's confidence in herself and her connection with Lucas."I understand where you're coming from, but I was the one who told Lucas not to tell you, and I apologize for that. I won't deny that he has some history with Thalia, but it's only because certain things happened in the past, and it was because of Thalia that he is safe and sound now. This was why he's been very attentive to her. Thalia had a sister, and before she passed away, she had requested Lucas to take good care of Thalia," Beatrice said.Following a pause, she continued, "That being said, I'd still like to reassure you that there's nothing going on between them. If there was, it would've materialized into a concrete relationship before you showe

"But babies don't eat and laze around all day. Only piglets do that," Lucas declared with a teasing smirk.Melody shot him a glare, "Grrr! You!"Beatrice approached them to check on the situation and asked Thalia to take a break. "You're our guest, Thalia. There's no need to trouble yourself with all this."She did not have a knack for that, and her tortellini would not be able to hold together when cooked because they were practically falling apart.Thalia felt a pang of embarrassment but persisted, "I can practice! Cooking is all about practice, right? Once I get the hang of it, I can cook them once I'm back in Molomia."Melody's smile dimmed slightly when she heard that. Lucas noticed the change in her mood but could not discern the reason behind it, so he decided to mischievously smear some flour on her nose. "Go over there and rest, or you could help fetch some water for me.""I thought you wanted me to sit over in the living room? Well, you can fetch some of that water your

Melody did not immediately head upstairs when they arrived at the hospital. Lucas spent some time with her downstairs for a stroll to help her digestion. She indulged herself with a few extra pieces earlier because of the rather plain food she had been eating recently, so she ended up feeling a little uneasy as a result."You can always have some more next time. Why'd you have to eat so much at once and make yourself feel bloated?" Upon seeing her discomfort, Lucas contemplated asking the doctor to prescribe her some medicine.Melody rolled her eyes at him. "Couldn't you see how happy Grandma was when she saw me enjoying my food? I finally get the chance to go home, and seeing them being so welcoming to me helps a lot in improving my appetite.""Are you implying that you tend to lose your appetite when I'm the only one around?" Lucas gritted his teeth, feeling a little irked that she did not seem to appreciate how challenging it was to take care of her amid his busy schedule.Melod

"You'll one day find a husband who genuinely loves you, so don't worry. These things can't be rushed," Beatrice added.Thalia hugged Beatrice's arm affectionately and said, "Gee, I wonder if I'd be able to experience the same care on concern from you that Melody receives? I've always felt a sense of kindness and warmth from you ever since the day I first met you. It makes me feel homely, and it has only deepened during my stay here. You and Grandpa Cedric are such a joy to be with. I feel close to you in my heart, but I'm worried that you won't feel the same way with me..."Beatrice did not wish to engage in such small talk when she was eagerly awaiting her granddaughter-in-law's return. She gently patted Thalia's hand and removed it from her arm. "Your future husband's grandparents will adore you, too."Cedric ignored the entire conversation. Thalia was trying to overstep her boundaries. She could never measure up to Melody regardless of how much Thalia tried. Unsure of how to resp
