The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2057

Beatrice's words were obviously intended for Stella. After all, she knew Lucas the best. He would not have waited until then if he had feelings for Stella. The two have known each other for a long time, and Lucas had always been indifferent to Stella. In fact, he did not like her at all.

Unfortunately, Stella was too deep in her delusion. Thus, Beatrice had it in her mind that she would make it clear to her that she would never allow her to marry into the family.

After casting a seemingly benevolent glance at Stella, Beatrice led Melody away protectively.

Stella discreetly glanced at the old lady and Melody's retreating figures before inviting Lucas to sit on the sofa with her.

Even though Lucas grunted in agreement, he chose not to sit next to her. Instead, he settled on a nearby armchair.

Stella felt a bit unhappy, but it did not matter. They were the only two in the living room, so what difference did it make if they were seated far apart?

'Finally, we're the only ones here! As long as I bring up the experiences we've shared in the past, it'll surely rekindle Lucas' affection for me. Who cares about Melody? Lucas and I are meant for each other!' thought Stella.

With that in mind, Stella sweetly said, "Lucas, do you remember the first time we met when we were kids..."

"Mister Lucas, this document needs urgent attention, and we need you to review it personally."

Edmund suddenly appeared. He swiftly strode over to Lucas as if Stella was invisible, handed him the iPad in his hand, and interrupted Stella's attempt to reminisce about the past.

…

Meanwhile, in the kitchen.

"Melody, do you think roasting the chicken or making it into soup would be better?"

Beatrice did not really ask Melody to come in and help with the cooking; the Riveras could certainly afford to hire servants and cooks.
