The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1924

Melody immediately pulled the nearby blanket to cover herself. "You... Why did you come in without knocking?!"

"Ahem. As I remember, this is my room."

"Oh, I..." Melody just realized that she was in Lucas' room. "I'm sorry, I didn't realize! I thought that with Grandpa and Grandma back, they might get suspicious if we continue to sleep in separate bedrooms…"

Melody felt the guilt bubbling in her chest as she rambled to explain herself.

Lucas closed the door and leaned against it. He narrowed his eyes on her and said, "I see you've thought it through. You're right. I'll knock in the future."

"And I'll lock the door when I'm changing," said Melody as she laid down the blanket, straightened her clothes, and stood up.

She looked at the large bed hesitantly. "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight. You can have the bed."

Lucas smiled faintly. "Why should we sleep separately? Didn't you just tell Grandma that you'll put in some effort to give her a great-grandchild?"

Blushing again at the mention of the earlier conversation, Melody stammered, "I… I was just saying that to get them off our case! Besides, we're not really planning to have children, right?"

Lucas found her blushing face to be particularly adorable. Suddenly in the mood to tease Melody, he narrowed his eyes mischievously, walked up to her slowly, and leaned over her.

"Who said we won't have kids? Are you doubting my abilities, or perhaps you think you can't have kids?"

Lucas' proximity made Melody's heart race. She could not help but recall the night they first met and, in particular, his so-called 'abilities'.

Shaking off those thoughts, Melody pushed him away and took a few deep breaths to regain her composure.
