The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2155

A frown unfolded across Lucas' face.

Melody observed Lucas' innocent expression. He seemed to be so confident and ready to share the details of his time with Stella that Melody could not help but burst into laughter.

"Are you crazy? I don't want to know those things you did! You have your life, and I have mine. I'm not just going to wait for you and listen to all those nasty things you did. I don't want my emotions to be constantly affected by your actions."

Though her voice trembled, Melody spoke with determination and intended to draw a clear line with her statement. Lucas, however, seemed confused and unable to comprehend the sudden change in her demeanor.

"What's with all this 'my life, your life' thing? Have you forgotten the contract you signed with me?" Lucas' voice carried a tinge of expectation. He had spent hours putting on an act with Stella and expected to return home to share the joy with Melody. Instead, he found her in a temper, and he was clueless about what had transpired.

"I haven't forgotten that we're in a contractual relationship. You don't need to keep reminding me," Melody replied, lowering her head as Lucas towered above her.

Lucas could not understand Melody's mood swings at times. She was fine before he left, so something must have ticked her off in his absence.

"Since you're aware of the contract, do you think you should've given me that attitude earlier?" Lucas' tone turned cold and condescending.

The vast gap between them seemed even more prominent, which maintained the status quo.

"It's not you. It's me."
