Melody was surprised by Lucas'' question. After all, she was not angry.


    "Wait, what makes you think that I was angry?"


    Lucas tilted his head as he looked at her as if to say, ''Need I exin?''


    Melody smiled helplessly. "I wasn''t angry. It''s just that I don''t know anyone there, so I don''t know how to mingle around. I wasn''t angry at all, really!"


    Lucas could not care less. Since they had left the club, he would not go back there again.


    "Get in the car." Lucas opened the rear door and shoved her in, then he got in from the other side.


    The driver had been standing by in the car, so he drove off immediately once they were seated.


    Melody decided to keep silent, knowing that exining herself would be futile.


    Lucas instructed the driver to take them back to the cinema. Lucas immediately pulled Melody out of the car the moment they arrived.


    "Two tickets for thetest showtime of this movie." Lucas bought the tickets for the movie that they missed and gave Melody the tickets.


    All Melody could think about was the money he had spent.


    "Why are you wasting so much money on a movie, Lucas? It''s fine even if we miss it. We can watch it online after it starts streaming. This isn''t a nice movie anyway."


    "Are you watching it or not?" Lucas was a bit annoyed by her grumbling.


    "Of course I''m watching!" Melody was a bit intimidated by his re.


    Lucas would have left if she said no, and Melody hated to see another two tickets being wasted.


    The movie started at 11:40 p.m., and they were the only audience in the hall.


    The cinema hall was filled with sounds from the movie. Apart from that, the sounds of their breaths were the only thing audible.


    Melody was a bit fidgety. She could not concentrate on the movie while something was bothering her.


    She noted that it was 10 minutes before midnight when she nced at her phone screen. That meant Lucas'' birthday would end in ten minutes.


    Since she knew about his birthday, she should at least say her best wishes to him or something, even though she was not prepared for it. "Lucas," said Melody softly as she looked at him, "I''m sorry that I don''t know it''s your birthday today. I only found out about it at the surprise party." "Uh-huh," replied Lucas as he slowly turned his head to face her.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    As they stared into each other''s eyes in dim light, there was a spark between them.


    Lucas'' gaze made Melody nervous. She lowered her eyes uneasily and said, "It''s not midnight yet, so it''s still your birthday. Well... Happy birthday, Lucas." Lucas had heard many birthday wishes that day but none of them had touched his heart like hers.


    He gazed at her gently and said, "Thank you. So... Where''s my present?"


    "Huh?" Melody looked at him again. She frowned and answered embarrassedly, "I just found out about it, so I didn''t prepare any gifts for you."
