The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2198

Melody gazed at Cedric, who had just finished his bowl of lime sorbet and was delicately wiping the corners of his mouth. He nodded to his wife's observation. "Don't worry, Melody. Your grandma and I stand by you. We know that you're not that kind of person. We've seen this sort of thing a lot already."

Melody then turned to Beatrice, noticing not a single hint of blame in her expression—only genuine concern that brought tears to Melody's eyes. She felt incredibly fortunate to have encountered the old couple, but she felt a simultaneous pang of disappointment settling in.

The interactions with Lucas' grandparents felt remarkably different from her interaction with Lucas. They unconditionally chose to believe in her, yet Lucas could not even show her the courtesy to try and understand her situation.

A sigh escaped her lips.

Beatrice's dissatisfaction with Lucas grew evident, and she was clearly displeased with her grandson's inability to comprehend a woman's heart. When it came to such matters, trust was the key to ensuring they could go through such a situation.

Without a fundamental level of trust, proceeding any further would be downright impossible. They had both watched the video, and there was nothing out of line with it.

Lucas should have long grasped the unique nature of the industry that Melody had delved into to become an actress. He supported her entrance into showbiz, so his mental fortitude needed to be done properly.

Melody might have to deal with on-screen romances with other actors. Were he to erupt in anger every time, then the foundation that formed the basis of their relationship would only erode over time.

"Thank you so much for putting your trust in me. It means a lot. Thank you," Melody said as she gripped Beatrice's hand firmly.

Tears were streaming down Melody's face.
