The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2352

Thalia called just to confirm whether Beatrice had said anything she should not have to Lucas. She had left early in the morning, fearing that Beatrice might stop her and ask what had happened last night.

Although she had brushed off Beatrice's inquiries at the time, Lucas was not sober then. She was afraid he would realize what had happened if he had been present.

However, to Thalia's relief, Lucas' voice sounded normal over the phone.

"Lucas, where are you? I came to the library this morning because there are a few books I want to read that I couldn't find at home. Can you pick me up when you go back?"

Lucas hesitated, his brows furrowing. He did not know when Melody would be off work, yet Thalia needed to go back.

"When are you planning to return? Didn't you have the driver take you this morning?" asked Lucas.

The Riveras' mansion was located in the suburbs, chosen with Beatrice and Cedric in mind. It was a bit far from the bustling city center, so they often relied on taking the car to go anywhere.

Thalia would not have been able to go to the library if the family driver was not free.

"I knew you'd be going back, so I had the driver return early. Can't you pick me up on your way back? Do you have other things to attend to? Is there a lot going on at the company today?" Thalia asked.

Lucas did not want to lie to her, but he really wanted to check Melody's daily meals. He would need to have Lynette prepare and send food over if the food in the cafeteria was not healthy.

After finishing her morning scenes, Melody was already feeling tired. "I want to rest. I don't have the energy to entertain you. Why do you want to go to my dormitory? There's nothing to see there, and it's not as luxurious as your home."

Lucas was unhappy at being brushed off like that. "Do you really not want to see me that much? Who do you want to see then? Don't forget there's still a contract be… "

"I've never forgotten for a moment that there's still a contract between us, and that I still owe you money. Lucas, could you please stop bringing this up? I'm already exhausted!"

"I've told you not to work as an actress anymore. The last time you got hurt, I asked you if you wanted to come back and act in this movie. So you have no one to blame but yourself for feeling exhausted!"

Melody fell silent.
